The risks of normalising cycling in a car-dependent infrastructure
Where is the safe cycling infrastructure?
"Many Australians are interested in cycling but feel intimidated by riding in traffic. Others are uncertain about route planning, road rules or cycling infrastructure. In highly car-dependent places, cycling can feel unfamiliar, risky or at odds with car-related norms. Simply providing technology and infrastructure does not overcome this.""Australia’s investment in cycling infrastructure remains essential. We need safer bike lanes, secure parking and better integration with public transport."
