Bicycle Sales

Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that for the tenth year in succession, Australians have purchased more bicycles than cars, purchasing 1,154,077 bicycles in 2009. In the ten year period since 2000, over 11,000,000 bikes have been sold in Australia, 2,000,000 greater than the car industry.

The Cycling Promotion Fund each year collate and publish import statistics on adults and children’s bicycles. Please refer to for the 2009 calendar year import statistics.

In 2005 BIA commissioned a pilot project to collect statistics on the sale of bikes in Australia.
