I would question whether Australian cities are not that big. Sydney covers an area comparable to Greater London. I've lived in Perth, Sydney and now London and I've progressively cycled less through each of those moves. Perth is a cycling paradise with an integrated cycle path network, Sydney ok depending on where you're commuting, and London is a nightmare even with the token 'cycle superhighways'. For me it all comes down to what is the least frustrating way to get to and from work.
