[bikeqld] Traffic changes -Tennyson

[Peter Whittle]

I've been using the road and had some close encounters of the bogan car-driving kind - some of our finest citizens have discovered rat-running through there.

Also, the steep shelf at Paragon St remains.

Well half of you might already know this..  There's now a bike path through the tennis centre, which is great.  It avoids the nasty rail overpass and zigzag at Fairfield Rd - Palomar st etc. when doing the river ride.  It's even pretty wide, about 3m maybe.
Not that it was designed by anyone who's ever ridden a bike though!  It narrows as it approaches the passenger drop off zone.  At this point you'll probably change lanes across to the road so as not to take out any disembarking passengers, once on the road there's no more access ramps back onto the path.  No matter, the road is good too, with some extra wiggly bits to slow cars.  (whose drivers will need some understanding as to why you're not on the path :)
