Perth has been ranked as one of the worst cities in the world when it comes to embracing cycling and scooters, a new survey has revealed. <\/p>\n
Compare the Market\u2019s new data, which surveyed more than 120 cities, shows Perth is also the worst nationally, coming in sixth place just behind Brisbane. <\/p>\n
The survey states that Perth\u2019s ranking was pulled down by a modal cycle share of only 1 per cent, and 1258 searches on average for cycle-related terms \u2013 the second lowest in Australia.<\/p>\n
The modal share is the percentage of all traveller trips or commuters in a specific area who use a bicycle as their primary mode of transportation. <\/p>\n
However, Perth does have 715 cycle routes to be enjoyed around the city \u2013 more than Australia\u2019s number one city Melbourne which has just over 500.<\/p>\n
The nation as a whole fell well short of other countries included \u2013 unsurprisingly it was a city in the Netherlands in at number one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perth has been ranked as one of the worst cities in the world when it comes to embracing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":944577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-944576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=944576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/944576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/944577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=944576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=944576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=944576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
