Bicycle Industries Australia The Australian Standard for Bicycles is currently being reviewed and Bicycle Industries Australia Ltd. (BIA) and Retail Cycle Traders Australia (RCTA) are providing input and guidance on the review of the standard. BIA and the RCTA have been working on achieving regulatory change for power assisted bicycles to ensure consumers in Australia have access to the most technically advanced, safe and comfortable power assisted bicycles. We provided input into the review of regulation of power assisted bicycles by the Road and Traffic Authority (NSW). This process is ongoing. Bicycle Industries Australia Most bicycles sold in Australia are not manufactured or designed in Australia therefore BIA has limited capacity to influence bicycle design. BIA is on the standard committee reviewing the Australian Standard for bicycles. BIA has reviewed the Bicycle Owners Manual which is available to wholesalers and manufacturers of bicycles. It is a legal requirement to provide a bicycle owners manual to consumers of new bicycles. BIA and its members encourage retailers to employ qualified mechanics and to provide ongoing professional development to their staff. We have been promoting training opportunities offered by "Bicycle Training Australia" which coordinates and organises professional development and accredited training for bicycle mechanics. The Cycling Promotion Fund (CPF) an initiative of the Bicycle Industries Australia has been working with the RCTA to undertake a review into the workplace development needs of the Bicycle Industry. Ausbike was held in 2009 which is a bicycle trade show, providing an opportunity for wholesalers and importers to display their newest products. Hopefully in 2010 the AusBike show will include a public day. The CPF has developed a range of publications for consumers on purchasing a bicycle, maintenance of bicycles, how to choose lights and what to look for when purchasing second hand bicycles. Those publications are available on the website www.rideabike.com.au and in hard copy through the CPF office.

course, using the Queensland Road Rules Booklet as source material. Queensland Rail Queensland Rail Passenger: Information about bicycle policy is available on the Citytrain website. Queensland Rail (QR) Passenger is working with State Government agencies and bicycle user groups to better cater for bicycles in new rolling stock that is progressively put into service as well as the development of enhanced rail station services. In January 2009 a survey was conducted to understand cyclist satisfaction with QR Passenger services. QR Passenger is responding to the suggestions captured in the survey. This includes investigating enhanced bicycle locker booking systems, end-of-trip facilities and better access in station designs and development. TransLink TransLink was involved in partnership with Queensland Transport, Brisbane City Council and other key stakeholders in the TravelSmart Northern Communities Project. TravelSmart North, a $4.2 million partnership between all three levels of government, engaged over 70 000 households in Brisbanes northern suburbs to encourage residents about ways they could change their travel habits to be less dependent on cars. During the periods of 2006-07, surveys were conducted on the northern households to determine whether there had been any change in travel behaviour. The results were finalised in 2008 in the form of a final report submitted by Socialdata Australia Pty Ltd. The report indicated that there had been a 49% increase in walking, 58% increase in cycling and a 22% increase in public transport. Overall, the project saw a reduction of 114 millions kilometres of private car travel which equates to a 13% reduction in vehicle kilometres. TransLink The TransLink Planning and Infrastructure Group is nearing completion of the Public Transport Infrastructure Manual which provides guidance on the planning and design of public transport infrastructure within the TransLink network. The manual is predominantly concerned with the development of bus stops, bus and rail stations, and supporting infrastructure. The manual will provide guidance on the inclusion of cycle access infrastructure for stops and stations. This may include sufficient access cycle paths, bicycle storage/locker facilities and other components required for cycle access.
