Many cyclists are becoming aware of the personal benefits associated with cycling such as improved health, opportunities for social contact, and significant economic advantages. The bicycle is acknowledged for its cost effectiveness and efficiency over short distances in urban areas. Cycling to access government services for work or business is increasing in popularity and can be encouraged with end of trip facilities.
The Bike Ahead: Bicycle Strategy for the 21st Century, released by the Premier in August 1996, identifies key actions that are needed to ensure that the safety and convenience of cyclists are taken into consideration when other actions and decisions are being made, such as end of trip facilities in new and refurbished buildings.
