The present analyses were conducted to examine whether there have been changes in levels of cycling in Sydney between the 2001 and 2006 Census, extending an earlier analysis of data from the 1996 and 2001 Census. Data on the journey to work from both Censuses were purchased from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Use of a bicycle on any part of the journey to work was coded as ‘bicycle used’. Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) in the Sydney area were coded as Inner Sydney if they were within 10 kilometres of Central Station in Sydney, Outer Sydney for the remaining Sydney SLAs and the rest as the Greater Metropolitan Region including the SLAs in Newcastle and Wollongong.
