There's certainly going to be a lot of hurt in Australia, though some cities are turning that around. When I visited Melbourne there was some fresh looking cycling infrastructure and they're finally getting a train to their airport. Sydney's public transit was also easier to use than the last time I was there (more than 10 years ago).

Hopefully this crisis helps my aussie friends focus their efforts on funding and completing their shovel ready transit projects. :)

Biking in Melbourne is relatively good compared to many other cities. I hope this fuel crisis gets more people in the habit of riding more often.
