Australian cities lag behind the rest of the world in cycling infrastructure investment and with the investment in Holland, they can boast that a third of all trips are made with the bicycle while in Australia only one to two percent of trips are on the bike.
The 13 day, 500km tour will give a group of Australian’s who represent advocacy and government groups will be joined by a film team and will report daily. You can follow the progress through the tour website: www.cyclingdutchstyle.com.au
