Biking to somewhere?

Sydney is a notoriously bike unfriendly city, with narrow, traffic-clogged roads and (perhaps paradoxically) fast-moving and aggressive car traffic.

So, it's good to see one local area (Bellevue Hill in Woollahra Municipality) making an effort. But where does it come from and where does it go to and is it a genuinely useful bike lane? I don't know, but would love to.

  1. c'est un probleme les pistes cyclabes. A evry, ils font plein de travaux, mais ils ont oublies de faire des pistes pour velos ;o((


    it is a problem the tracks cyclabes. With evry, they make full with work, but they have forget to make tracks for bicycles ;o((

  3. Well at least it's the beginning of something. It may come out of nowhere but hopefully it takes you somewhere????

  5. I have been very surprised to note this fact in Sydney and in other Australian Towns, the streets are wide, many space everywhere, and all is done for cars only...In the same way, we didn't saw roller skaters even if the sidewalk are verywide too...But like Nathalie says, perhaps a beginning?

  6. My city is also starting to encourage bike usage. However, I'm sure they will be used more for pleasure rather than work commutes. Our bike lanes tend to be next to the curb on streets which don’t allow cars to park on the side.
