[bikeqld] C-M: No excuse to not get on your bike, Brisbane residents told

[mich rolling]

Anti-cycling comments are indeed near rabid BUT I detect a hint of
humour/irony in some anti-bike comments and of near resignation (that
bikes are going to increase in number no matter what real people want
 so...) the sullen masses of Greater Brisbane are beginning to accept
bicycles. The same is happening w.r.t. Copenhagen Lanes in Sydney

These was a comment about the relation of fossil power generators to solar =
power generators along the lines=20

Bicycles in Brisbane are up to the ridicule/suppress stage?

First Solar has announced a solar panel manufacturing cost of 98cents US / =

Solar is rapidly heading to daytime cost parity with gas, then coal. Yaayyy!
