I was just flitting past on the PSP, but maybe next time!

But if it isn't great, it's free, apparently!

From my commute. At the end of a short path between two residential streets. I assume it's meant to indicate you are leaving a bike path but still following an on road bike route, but doesn't tell you which way the bike route is going. It also sort of says bikes, but no more bikes here. Either way, its not real good.

My local shops kindly warned me that no bikes use the racks, but they were wrong.

Saw this the other day, today stopped to take a picture.

This is on a road with a stupid 50cm wide BAZ that exists solely in the door zone. Wouldn't it be better just to get rid of the BAZ...

Kwinana freeway bike path heading south just after Mundijong road. There is about 1500m of repairs being done to the path. So for all you speedy cyclists make sure you slow down to 60

or do you need to be going 60km/h to clear the gap ahead? The black line looking like a skid mark makes me think someone already tried, but bailed when they realised they only hit 50 at the sign.

Riding home via the John Hunter hospital the other day. Came up out of Jesmond park on the sharepath across a little bit of gravel and onto this. Bit narrow I thought.

Al little further and it turns into this:
Image
By my reckoning it is around 1.5m wide, for both lanes. I don't think I'd want to pass anyone coming the other way within the lines. Besides that, why didn't they just paint some bike symbols in the middle of the lane? It's hardly going to be a high speed/high traffic area as it only goes to a loading bay and 50m up the road the markings just disappears and spit you out into a 'normal' lane

That is positively long compared to Melbourne's shortest path at around 8m in length!
