Pedal power
Australians take to cycling to go green and get fit
Australia's love affair with the bicycle just keeps getting stronger. Sales of new bikes are at record levels, and Australians now buy more bikes every year than new cars.
A desire to stay healthy along with concern about the environment and rising petrol costs are driving this pedal-pushing revolution. "Parents are increasingly aware of the epidemic of obesity among children," said Ian Christie from Australia's Cycling Promotion Fund, which represents Australia's bicycle industry. The nation's waistlines are bulging as never before.
