You're not wrong about that spot, it's astonishly badly done, especially when you consider it's one of the main cycling routes out of the CBD. It's almost worthy of the bicycle facility of the month...mikesbytes wrote:Most cyclists now when departing town ride on the wrong side of the road on Bridge road between Pyrmont Bridge and Union st, when departing the CBD and this is despite there being motor vechiles driving directly towards them in the same lane. Why? Because there is no better alternative. And from a legal perspective, I don't think there is a way that you can legally ride your bike from Pyrmont Bridge to Union st.
I used to cycle through there on the way to work, going from Surry Hills through the CBD, over Pyrmont Bridge and onwards to the Anzac Bridge, and I never could work an acceptable way of negotiating the Pyrmont Bridge to Union Street bit. I've now given up on that route and skirt round south of the CBD through Chippendale and Ultimo to get to Pyrmont instead, turns out it's much faster than fighting my way through the CBD.
