Current participation rates


Cycling participation in selected regional areas


39% of Queensland adults are not getting enough physical activity (Queensland Health. 2016. The Health of Queenslanders Report, 2016. Brisbane). Riding a bike to work or school can be an easy way to incorporate regular exercise into your busy day.
Nine out of ten adults cycle because it’s good for their health (Department of Transport and Main Roads. 2016. Results of Queensland Cycling Strategy community consultation. Brisbane).
Riding is a fun social activity for Queenslanders of all ages.
It can also improve your mental wellbeing by reducing feelings of stress, anxiety and depression (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. 2006. Australia’s Health 2006. AIHW Catalogue AUS73.).
Cycling reduces your risk of serious illnesses like heart disease, type-two diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity (World Health Organisation. 2002. A physically active life through everyday transport with a special focus on children and older people and examples and approaches from Europe. Denmark.).
The more people there are cycling, the safer it becomes (New Zealand Transport Agency. 2016. Benefits of investing in cycling in New Zealand communities.).
Well planned cycling infrastructure pays itself off in health benefits and reduced congestion (CDM Research. 2016. Measuring the benefits of active travel. Melbourne. Unpublished report prepared for the Department of Transport and Main Roads).
More people cycling reduces Queensland’s carbon footprint (Woodcock, J., Edwards, P., et al. 2009. Public health benefits of strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions: urban land transport. The Lancet, 374(9705), 1930-1943).
