Active Transportation Lessons from London for Australia
London, UK Recently I spent a week in London enjoying glorious mid-summer sunshine and 9:30 pm sunsets while my colleagues in Australia were enjoying a record mid-winter cold snap. Ahh… that felt good to write! But it wasn’t all beer and skittles, as they say in the UK. Back in March when I made my…
Huge Investment in New Products on Show at Eurobike 2024
Frankfurt, Germany Each year, Frankfurt, Germany hosts the world’s biggest bicycle and micromobility expo. With western Europe being so much more transport and utility focused than Australia, products that still have a small market here, such as e-cargo bikes, have huge markets in Europe, so take centre stage at Eurobike.

New Table Gives Comprehensive Overview of Bike and Scooter Status Australia-wide
Brisbane, Qld We developed a table of shared micromobility services in major Australian cities in February 2021, and the Micromobility Report followed up with an update five months later to reflect the changes. Three years on, we were invited to revisit our initial table, and this is our latest update. In 2024, shared micromobility is…

More Women and Children are Riding in Sydney
Sydney NSW A detailed survey of 5,722 cyclists passing by seven precisely defined checkpoints within the City of Sydney has revealed some fascinating insights.

Autonomous Driving is Here and Will Be Good for Micromobility
I’m not an expert, but for the past decade I’ve been following developments in autonomous driving quite closely. I also consume a lot of podcasts with tech / transportation / cycling / micromobility themes. Like anything that’s radically different, there has been a lot of hype and fear in roughly equal parts in relation to…

Annual Guide to E-Bikes – More Growth and Innovation Ahead
In some ways e-bikes almost seem old-fashioned and already taken for granted, when there are newer, bright shiny things to capture our attention such as e-scooters or light electric vehicles. But the Australian e-bike market really only started to take off just seven years ago and despite a post-covid drop in import numbers and a…
Active Transport Lessons from Taipei for Australia
Taipei, Taiwan When it comes to transportation and urban design, every large city faces a similar set of challenges and trade-offs, but they respond to these in vastly different ways. Taipei is the capital and by far the largest city of Taiwan. I first visited in 1996 to attend the annual Taipei Cycle expo, which…
