Fitness and fun
affordable mode of transport
zero carbon
zero air quality impacts
independence for youth and seniors
less road space
less parking space
From a local and central government viewpoint, promoting cycling makes good sense…$37 million to spend in the next three years

Costs, value for the money
Loss of convenience for motorists
Loss of parking
Fear of change, patch protection
Not seeing a need, low numbers of existing cyclists
We need to answer the “WHY?”
Changing road space allocation is hard for communities
