Summary: 

  • Sensible Transport used Strava data to map cycle behaviour in Sydney and Melbourne

  • The implementation of bicycle paths can be very expensive: 11 million dollars for a kilometer 

  • After a commute distance of 4.5km, the number of people cycling drops quickly 

  • Melburnian suburbs such as Richmond and South Yarra have many internal short trips

  • There is a need for more data and also info about currently existing cycling infrastructure
