Riding a bike is good for physical and mental health, the environment and the economy.
Riding has seen a surge in popularity in recent years. With world-class riding facilities and events such as the Tour Down Under and increased investment in our network, South Australia is well-placed to capitalise on the growth in riding.
Riding is a legitimate transport, sport and recreation option and people who choose to ride deserve to feel safe and be safe, just like those who choose to walk, use public transport or drive a car.
Investment in safer riding environments in South Australia will encourage more interested, but concerned people, to ride and will assist in improving attitudes towards riding.
Our Cycling Plan outlines the vision, objectives, initiatives and actions along with six priority projects to increase participation, improve physical and mental wellbeing and improve community outcomes.
Priority projects address the following key themes:
- Information and Promotion
- Greenways
- Bicycle Boulevards
- Intergrating Cycling into Major Projects
- Major Events and Programs
- Trails and Elite Sport
