Will there be replacement trains??

participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/road-safety-... disappointed that the intersection of the Capital City Trail and Poplar Rd is not marked to be fixed as part of this project. Still time for feedback! It's one of two places where bikes are forced into the road on the CCT

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

Am I right that the Capital City Trail is forced on to the road in just two places; Parkville (under consultation) and Abbotsford? Someone should fix that...

Open Street map and cycleOSM is my go-to for route finding in any new area, but quickly checking a landmark/business/address location i still find Google maps easier. I assume I'm not alone there - which is why is like to see their bike way-finding improved!

Nick T @nicktyz.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Looking at how to get from one side of Brunswick to another, car: 8 min, PT ~30 min ($10 pp return), bike 13 min - free, no parking, but there's no continuous safe, protected bike paths. Until the council and DoT prioritise non-car travel, those 2-5 km trips are going to be easier by car ☹️

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.

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.
