Which Australian councils are building the most cycleways?
jakecoppinger.comNice work. Darwin appears to be cycle capital of Australia, but still falls well short of some of the EU cities.
It could be beneficial to have the ability filter out rural councils, and focus on denser urban areas. IMO cycle paths don't make sense in vast, sparsely populated regional areas.
For more retail appeal, you could consider some quick headline numbers at the top as bullet points. For example, the most cycle-friendly council, the worst (excluding rural), the most improved.
Thanks! It does seem to have lots of cycleways but I think it's helped by it's low density and small area (with the airport).

I agree - I think comparisons by area and by density would be really interesting.

I hadn't thought of that but I think that's a great idea, thanks!
I built this open source dashboard to compare how Australian cities compare to others around the world with how many bike paths have been built.
It uses OpenStreetMap data and a lot of Overpass Turbo requests, statically compiled for a simple Typescript React app.
Happy to answer any questions or criticisms!
