Based on historical trends and ABS import data, Australia should reach a new record of 1.75 million bicycles imports into the country in a single 12 month period.
The 1.75 million bicycles be imported by 30th June 2021 to be sold in bicycle shops and retailers.
The bicycle industry predicts that the ‘COVID dividend’ for bike sales, as Australians chose to ride in unprecedented numbers has resulted in a 50% increase in sales.
Thursday 3rd June was World Bicycle Day and imports are booming, so the bicycle industry is calling on governments at all levels to invest accordingly in the bicycle infrastructure to support the approximately four million Australians choosing to ride for fun, fitness and transport every week.
