The local cycling group leader, Elaena Gardner, who spoke to us (CycleSyndey), reported that cycle commuting has really shot up in the last 18 months.

Am abit puzzled though why the maximum car speed limit in most residential neighbourhoods in Sydney, is 60 kms./hr. That is quite high and almost restrictive to allow children cycling on the road near home. Alot of Canadian cities don't have residential single family house neighbourhood with that type of high speed limit unless it is beside an aerterial road.
