[bikeqld] Bike NAZIs on Coro Drive

[Peter Whittle]

 On the outbound, for those who don't mind a bit of traffic interaction, you can go from King George Square on Ann St, up Roma St, down Milton Road, left on Cribb St, R on Railway Tce, L on Park Road, then wind your way up to Sylvan Road.

Ditto in reverse, except when you get to Cribb St, go right, then L on Little Cribb St, then R on the path through the park to the tunnel on the Bicentennial BIKEWAY 
Or (for that matter), down Cribb St to Coro Drive, along Coro Drive to the L exit up to Roma St and the Grey St Bridge.

The "detour" is go up the park Rd ramp, cross at lights (3 sets, walk  
of course, don't ride), ride along the coro drive inbound-side  
footpath to cribb st, cross again (dismount twice) down ramp back onto  
bicentennial jogway.

Yeah, in their eyes they've "provided" a detour (involving 5 separate  
pedestrian crossings), so cries of "no option" will not get anyone  
very far.

If I was still riding to the CBD every day, I'd give St Lucia a hard  
look.
