Bicycle Network

Bicycle Network is a charity that promotes the health of the community through getting more people cycling more often.

Our aim is to make significant measurable change at a societal scale - in perceptions, behaviour and bicycle infrastructure. We use societal measures such as the census to see if bike riding is growing. We have developed other measures such as Super Tuesday and Hands Up! to monitor progress and evaluate our activities.

We look for initiatives that will provide a high return on our effort. As a result we emphasise, increase and improve bicycle infrastructure and run large scale behaviour change programs such as Ride to Work and Ride2School. We will go anywhere to make these things happen.

Why are we here?
We believe in livable places where people are physically active.

So we make it easier for everyone to ride a bike everyday.

We'd love you to join us and help make this possible.

Why does Australia need Bicycle Network?
Like all not for profits we're here because we think the world should be better.

We're here because there's a problem and it's our responsibility to solve it. There's a dragon to slay and someone needs to step up.

We've created a world where two thirds of us don't move our bodies enough.

And when we do move, instead of using our amazing bodies, too often we're using resources that are destroying our precious planet.

The good news is our body is designed to move.

In fact, if we don't move enough there's at least a 50/50 chance our bodies will break down. Heart disease. Colon and breast cancer. Depression. Type 2 diabetes. Insidious hardships no-one should have to suffer.

Bicycle Network is here to fix this problem...and of course we need your help.

What we do?

With your help, Bicycle Network is making it easier for everybody to ride a bike, every day.

BUILD PLACES TO RIDE
We roll-up-our-sleeves and work with governments to create safer riding conditions, more facilities and fairer legislation.

CHANGE BEHAVIOURS
Our award-winning behaviour change programs build healthy bike riding habits for people of all ages.

SUPPORT RIDERS
We protect and support riders across Australia with our membership services. We stand up for bike riders when they've been wronged.

RUN EVENTS
Our world-class events brings the bike riding community together and celebrates their achievements.

A VOICE FOR ALL
No matter what, how or why you ride, we make sure the voice of all riders is heard by decision makers and the media.

So that we're working on the best things to get more people riding, we check the evidence, so that our actions are based on fact not opinion, and we pilot and test our ideas before going big.
