The Bicycle NSW Smart Commuting Program aims to break down the barriers to more people choosing to cycle all or part of the journey to and from work and also in the wider community setting, for transport, fitness and recreation. The website contains a number of resources for you as a bicycle rider, or someone thinking about riding, and also for your workplace.

The Bicycle NSW Commuter Challenge is an initiative to encourage and reward individuals to cycle all or part of the journey to work and to also encourage cycling outside of the workplace - for transport, fitness and recreation.

As part of the smart commuting program Bicycle NSW can work directly with your organisation to help eliminate the barriers to more of your employees choosing to cycle all part of the journey to work. Commonly cited barriers include lack of confidence and knowledge about rider etiquette, road rules and bicycle maintenance.
