I'm one of those 'tough' riders then. Perhaps the Laws should change to make it illegal for bike riders to ride in a lane?anonymous_ wrote:Yes and all us anonymous bike riders in Sydney who don't brag about how tough they are by taking a lane in the traffic rather than use a beautiful bike lane.

Mate, criticism is the only thing that will get us safe bicycle infrastructure designed to impact peak-time transport choices. In my opinion it is the duty of experienced cyclists to point out that deep channel narrow bi-di bicycle lanes placed on one side of a roadway, are highly discredited designs, known to produce higher levels of accidents than riding with the traffic. Connecting the rubbish up, isn't going to make it non rubbish, its just going to make it connected rubbish.anonymous_ wrote:He got you lot hook line and sinker.
Don't you realise Alan Jones has the Tele in his pocket and is using them for his number one crusade, to have the bike lanes in Sydney ripped up! For gods sake he has stated he will run for Lord Major on that agenda.
Next time engage your brains before typing!
And stop whinging, at least someone is building some infastructure for us. Why not wait till it is finished and connects up rather than criticising it.
You lot have have helped set the cause back and insight more hatred against us.

Wrong what criticism we get you is the people putting the infastrucutre in place remeoved from office an end to any new bike infastructire in the future and the removal of the existing infastruture. If you thinking I'm joking listen to what Alan Jones is saying and what do you think will happen when he gets Barry as Premier?

If they put decent infrastructure in to begin with then there would not be an issue to begin with.anonymous_ wrote:Wrong what criticism we get you is the people putting the infastrucutre in place remeoved from office an end to any new bike infastructire in the future and the removal of the existing infastruture.

The only thing that will prevent OFarrell getting in at the next election is his own big mouth, and he's clearly got enough sense to keep it mostly shut. As far as bicycle lanes go, until this week, virtually all forward movement on bicycle infrastructure has happened at the local council level, with the state government as represented by the RTA kicking and screaming and arguing, and using every bit of red tape in its arsenal. Its the RTA that put up bollards on Anzac Bridge, and it was complaining about them, that got them removed.anonymous_ wrote:

Whatever you think of his article, that's just rubbish. Forums are public and he is entitled to express his opinions as much as you or anyone else has.anonymous_ wrote:God this guy has a hide coming back in here with a completely different tone to the one in the article.
People might fall for that once but (I hope) not twice.

It was. I cannot say that your support of Clover's support actually came across that well, if at all, in the article.Cama7 wrote:Perhaps the tone was a touch aggressive, given I actually support Clover's approach to bike lanes, just not the design of some of them.

Except these detractors don't realise Peak Hour is when we NEED the bycicles...ghettro wrote: All these detractors do is suggest things like "ban cyclists during peak hours" without thinking of the bigger picture.
It's not like what is happening in Sydney is any different to what Copenhagen went through in the 70's and 80's or what Paris or many other cities around the world have gone through in the process of reclaiming the streets from automobiles. History will tend to repeat itself, the exact same thing happened elsewhere in the past and is happening again in Sydney.
