[bikeqld] Walking shoes for Coro drive... again?

[Anthony Lee]

Hi Kim,

So are they making cyclists walk then? I have been on standby and so I have been driving the standby car and
so haven't even rode on the Coro Drive pretend bikeway. How bad is it?

I have idiots at work who reckon bicycle should have registration (again). I will pay for my registration the
day that they give us descent cycling facilities!

I was talking today to the Central Traffic Branch of the QPS about the
lack of compliance with the 40kph zone through the HSL work site on
Coro Drv and I mentioned that I had seen two police officers and two
police cars parked on the footpath there and that they were paying
attention to the cyclists on the bikeway totally oblivious to the
speeding car traffic behind them. He said he thought the BCC was paying
for those two officers  to police the bikeway.

If that was/is the case, I think that is a bit of an overkill in light
of the car traffic problems there. Probably comes out of that massive
cycle budget too.

The traffic controllers are the problem, standing there waving and frowning. The path there is no narrower than elsewhere, and people manage it just fine. Christ, why haven't we got traffic control on the footpaths of George St? Pissants. Oh well, I'll just use Highgate Hill from now on. 

Speaking of the 'blitz', I pulled over this morning to take a phone call. As I did that, a rider went past, no hands, chatting away on his phone and I thought, I could be quick like him! I finished my call and went around the corner, and there he was, with cops writing out a ticket. My lucky day, but not his :D

Did anyone noticed that they are building a raised platform on Coro 
Drive?
