The Australian Bicycle Council (ABC) has developed a comprehensive set of statistics related to cycling in Australia and New Zealand covering participation, infrastructure provision and safety. Much of this information has been derived from other sources including the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau; other information has been sourced from ABC member organisations and specifically the states and territories.
It is difficult to obtain accurate and reliable information on cycling participation. However the ABC believe that the data compiled demonstrates a significant increase in cycling participation in recent years and probably underestimates the increase.
