[bikeqld] Should we expecting this?

[Richard Hockey]

I don’t usually have much time for Ms Devine but some of what she says this time did make some sense:

“Most bike paths turned out to be little more than white paint on a road, with no room for a bike between parked cars and traffic.”

 

And..

“Attempts to retrofit roads to allow equal access to bikes and pedestrians just makes them more dangerous and simply adds to Sydney's already woeful gridlock.”

 

BTW the cyclist in question was riding illegally on a busway where there was absolutely no provision for cyclists ie a concrete canyon (have a look at the video).
