Yep. When I was searching for more info I found a transcript from a radio host saying that "no one" bikes into the city because everyone lives in the outer suburbs, 15-20 kilometers away. (Which, by bike, would still be less than the 65 minute average commute time.) Then I searched density statistics and saw that although there's suburban sprawl, Melbourne, and its central business district, contain the most densely populated areas in Australia.
Stayed with a family friend in Brunswick. We got drunk and he laughed at me for not having a car. Next morning he's walking out with a bike helmet on. "Mate, I'm not paying for parking."
