is a non-partisan campaign asking all candidates in the 24 March 2007
NSW State election their views on cycling and to commit to increased
resources and support if they are elected. This web site has been
supported by the Cycling Promotion Fund (CPF) and been developed
in conjunction with the cycling community in NSW.
The CPF is particularly concerned about NSW and Sydney in particular
falling behind the rest of Australia in providing support for cycling
and the subsequent lower cycling rates.

From the Herald Sun, (17/01/07), Elliot Fishman makes this important contribution to the current cyclist registration debate.
Increasing bike sales and declining sales of locally made cars are a sign of the times.
For the seventh consecutive year, Australians have bought more bikes than cars.
This has sparked calls for bike riders to pay registration fees.
The argument is that the fees would reduce driver antagonism towards cyclists.
But, there are important reasons why charging registration fees for cycling would be bad policy.
No other countries charge their cyclists such a fee. |
