Bicycles eclipse car sales by 40 per cent in 2007

While public transport planning and upgrading continues to stagnate,
forms of personal transport are booming. Sales of new vehicles passed
the 1 million barrier in 2007 - 1.04 million new vehicles were sold to
increase the national car fleet to over 14 million, according to a
report in the Sydney Morning Herald. But Bicycle sales continue to
eclipse vehicle sales with a record 1.47 million bicycles sold in 2007
– outselling car numbers for the 8th consecutive year, according to the
Cycling Promotion Fund.
