The Cycle City announcement comes one week after Greens lord mayoral candidate Jo-Anne Bragg unveiled her party's plan for the city's bikeways.
The Greens' $40 million per year pitch trumps the Liberals' promised $25 million average yearly spend and would more than double the cycle path network, from 760km to 1700km, by 2015.
Ms Bragg said she was encouraged to hear the Lord Mayor "finally seriously talking about cycling".
"It's clear that over the last several years his attention has been on road infrastructure and there's been a tiny dribble of funding for cycling," she said.
