In August 2007, the Cycling Promotion Fund was commissioned by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing to develop a report on bicycle participation by Australian adults.

 

The Cycling Promotion Fund was specifically asked to investigate the contribution cycling can make to the health of adult Australians, what barriers exist to increasing participation and what can be done to overcome these hurdles.

 

The Cycling Promotion Fund engaged four notable academics/practitioners from the fields of health, transport and economics to address these questions. 

 

Cycling:  Getting Australia Moving report and the presentation of the National Bicycling Achievement Awards was held on Wednesday 4th June 2008, at Old Parliament House, Canberra.
