More children riding to school for long term change Empowering our leaders to create a better environment Celebrate the people that support Australians riding bikes 31 May 2023 WeRide news update and webinar on the astounding scale of progress for active travel in China. We often hear about European and North American approaches to walking and cycling infrastructure. While Paris – creating its own revolution as a sustainable city – plans to add 182 km of new permanent protected bike lanes between 2021-2026, Beijing has already renovated 3,200 km (!) of bike lanes between 2016 and 2020 and is continuing to forge ahead!

With 19% of all emissions coming from the transport sector and 10% coming from private cars,… Cycling is a healthy, accessible and convenient way to help the environment If you think riding a bike can help the environment, want to see more children riding bikes, or just love cycling, add your voice in support of better bicycling for everyone in Australia.
