We work with government, industry and community members to advocate for everyone to be able to enjoy safe and convenient access to bike riding and all the benefits that come with it.
More people riding bikes benefits the whole community. Individuals benefit from better physical and mental health, increased opportunities for social connection, and saving money (and often time) when using a bike for transport. These individual benefits in turn create stronger, more resilient communities. When the built environment is developed to support people to use bikes for transport, everyone benefits from cleaner air, safer streets and a more vibrant and inclusive society.
To advocate for more people to be able to enjoy the benefits of riding bikes, WestCycle:
Attends stakeholder engagement for various projects across WA to represent people using bikes.
