A new report launched today by Professor of Global Health at the University of Melbourne's Nossal Institute, Dr Rob Moodie, found cycling currently saves an estimated $227.2m per year in health costs alone. The report Cycling: Getting Australia Moving has, for the first time, placed a dollar value on cycling participation. Dr Moodie said "this report demonstrates the considerable benefit offered to individuals and governments by cycling. Addressing the barriers preventing more Australians from cycling will deliver substantial savings to both government and the community".
