Hey! Me and my son are Angry Cyclists! I do my best to not get angry on the streets anymore, but angry at the polls and in submissions is necessary. Side note: Ismo was very happy when the photographer asked him to use a serious face, he already does the same thing in school photos...

Wow, an amazing Ride2School day this morning! Big thanks to Bicycle Network and the Yarra council. The kids and parents were really excited. I'm doing a 'hands up' count this arvo, expecting high numbers of riders. Once we know how many kids are *able* to ride, we can aim for that amount every day

I bought a $50 bike for those times when you need to lock it somewhere for a few days (i.e hirecar place), but already really attached to it! A classic Malvern Star. Judging by the pressed metal chain rings it's likely lower-end but it still rides beautifully, and looks 😍. Gonna need a crappier bike

Nick T @nicktyz.bsky.social · 04/01/2025

Google map cycling directions do not use the Upfield bike path. Annoying for people who know where to go (and, say, want to check trip times), dangerous for inexperienced riders or those new to the area.

Nick T @nicktyz.bsky.social · 01/01/2025

Starting the year with a 25km schlep home from a friend's NYE party. Not too hard with an ebike, I enjoyed it, got home feeling refreshed, but maybe a bit far to ride for most people as a form of mass transportation. Melbourne is quite big at times... #bikemelbourne

From the new Road Safety Action Plan: "Responding to keen interest from local governments and their communities, we’ll consider proposals for speed limit reductions in areas with significant interface between pedestrians and bicyclists and vehicles." 30km/h please! www.vic.gov.au/sites/defaul...

This is why I'm a fan of rego being calculated on weight, width, length, engine kW, maximum speed, emissions, and finally, danger to pedestrians at 30kmh. A Kia Picanto should not cost the same as a BMW X9. Means test it, but only on personal use. Commercial vehicles have no deductions.

Catching the punt from Port Melbourne to Spotswood, on our way to Williamstown from Brunswick. A 17km/1hr trip each way for a family picnic, quite long but do-able with an ebike and good bike lanes (or, you know, whatever the frick counts for bike infrastructure on Lorimer st)

Thought this was about Melbourne's planning laws that mostly allow medium density on high-car-traffic streets, but it's Sydney resident, agreeing with a Californian, agreeing with a Toronto resident. Clearly a universal issue

some street design in #melbourne. Honestly, who designs and approves this stuff?? Someone who knows that painted bike lanes are just car-door buffers and since there's no parking, you don't need buffers.

Imagine if we had designed children’s playgrounds in ways that were unnecessarily dangerous for kids, but instead of fixing the unsafe design (we know how!), we mandated that kids wear protective gear like helmets. That’s basically what adult bike #helmetlaws are. Design safe infrastructure.
