Almost 20% of the Western Australian population identifies as a bike rider. Recreational cycling is growing in popularity and the development of recreational cycling facilities are becoming more common, not just across Australia, but across the world.
The Shire of Esperance has identified a desire for recreational cycling facilities within the Shire to service the youth population and existing bike riders. Development of facilities within close proximity to the town will allow the resident population to benefit from the physical, mental and social benefits of cycling.
