'Councillors at the City of Yarra will next week again attempt to thrash out the future of the bike corridor on Elizabeth Street through Richmond North.' 🙄 /1 bicyclenetwork.com.au/newsroom/202...

I just don’t understand why the import regs were changed to allow substandard e- bikes in

These results reflect those of our 30km/hr zone trial in Collingwood and Fitzroy. It’s time for the state government to accept that 30km/hr has been tried, tested (here and overseas), and should be made a standard speed for councils to choose at will. Safer speeds save lives. 💚

Proposed e-bikes ban on trains - Make a submission to the Victorian government by 18 August 2025 streetsalivedarebin.org/journal/prop...

1000s of cyclists every day “There is no place for a cycle lane” Well… There is no place for parking spaces along the street is another way of looking at it Before and after Stockholm Sweden

Found this old video from 4.5 years ago showing a family taking the Elizabeth St bike lanes for a spin. 2 years ago, in 2023, the Council voted unanimously to make these lanes permanent. Since then, I don’t think I’ve had any emails about them. They’re functioning well, and as intended.
