The Bike Plan 2021-25 was endorsed by Council at the meeting on Tuesday 23 February 2021.
The plan identifies key opportunities to improve the City’s cycling network and helps set priorities for future cycling infrastructure investment.
It also helps inform the City on how to best implement improvements to the benefit of all cyclists while being conscious of the potential impacts on the broader Subiaco community.
Thank you to all community members who contributed significantly to the development of the plan.

UWA are currently undertaking research into how cyclists and car drivers share our roads. If you ride a bike or drive a car you would have had experience of this and UWA want to hear from you via their survey.
About the project
Car drivers and cyclists often share the roads and their interaction can cause friction between these two parties.
What exactly contributes to such encounters is the focus of a new study run by researchers at the University of Western Australia. The study investigates some of the factors that may play a role in car drivers’ and cyclists’ contacts on the roads from the perspective of car drivers.
The research team, lead by Dr Laura Fruhen, is looking for WA drivers who are willing to complete a 15 minute survey.
Anyone living in WA, holding a driving license, and over the age of 18 can take part. Questions asked in the study concern the participant’s typical behaviour towards cyclists when driving, as well as their thoughts about a number of related issues.
You can find the survey here: Cycling Survey.
