Each year, an average of 35 cyclists are killed and over 2,500 are seriously injured on our roads and many more incidents go unreported. The majority of these collisions involve a motor vehicle and most are preventable.

For the past seven years, bike sales have exceeded car sales with in excess of 1.1 million bikes sold per year. As more and more people are turning to bicycle riding for health and transport needs, the potential for fatalities and injuries on our roads can increase. All road users need to be mindful of their actions on the road to avoid the potential dangers of mixing cars and bikes. That's why we want to spread our message.

The Amy Gillett Foundation's primary objective is to reduce the incidence of injury and death caused by the interaction between cyclists and motorists. In doing so, we hope to promote a safe and harmonious relationship of shared respect between the two groups.

We seek to highlight the importance of being responsible every time we head out on the road whether we're on two wheels or in four. It's not rocket science, it something we can all do starting today - because everyone deserves to arrive home safely irrespective of their chosen mode of transport.

Many individuals, companies, sporting and community groups and Government have been generous with their contribution and support of the AGF. We hope we can count on your support too.
