Transport currently makes up 16% of the average Australian family’s budget,a similar proportion to housing and food costs. In Australian capital cities, some 30% of all car trips are less than 3km and half are under 5km. It has been shown that it can be quicker to get to the CBD by bicycle than by car for trips up to 8 km long. These are all distances easily ridden by bicycle.
