ADVOCACY AND INFRASTRUCTURE

Bicycle NSW

Bicycle NSW (BNSW) represents its 10,000 registered members and over two million cyclists. It has many branches of Bicycle User Groups (BUGs), including CAMWest, Shoalhaven and Dubbo BUGs. This site has information on the policy of BNSW and the Advocacy Committee, frequently asked questions, information on local cycling events and Sydney tours, and the Australian online cycling bookshop.

Australian Bicycle Council

The Australian Bicycle Council (ABC) site contains the National Cycling Strategy and information that relates to cycling within Australian states and territories. It manages and coordinates the implementation of cycling. This is a useful and well referenced resource for advocates. This site also has the Bikeability Toolkit that helps communities and local governments to access checklists, resource materials, guidelines and references to assist in the implementation of local bikeability audits and actions.

Bicycle Federation of Australia

The Bicycle Federation of Australia (BFA) is the non-profit, national representative of the various state cycling advocacy groups for recreation, transportation and health. It has information on the Australian Bicycle Council (ABC), the BFA's policies, cycle tourism, the Bikeability Toolkit developed by the BFA for the Department of Environment and Heritage, and details of significant events and activities organised by the BFA and its member organisations. It also has a database of resources from Australia and around the world on cycling advocacy and strategies for improving cycling.

International Bicycle Fund

The International Bicycle Fund (IBF) is an independent, non-profit and advocacy organisation that promotes a friendly and sustainable environment using bicycles for transportation, international understanding and recreation. Its major activities are non-motorised urban planning, economic development, bike safety education, responsible travel and bicycle tourism, cross-cultural and educational programs.

Critical Mass

Critical Mass is an organised coincidence, and this site is not the official Australian Critical Mass web page. Critical Mass Frequently Asked Questions can be accessed at the Sydney Critical Mass website. The site also has information on bicycle safety.
