As for The Age, I can only conclude that someone’s put something in the water. It’s good to see cycling being treated as a realistic option for personal transport.

Surely driver politeness and consideration goes a long, long way to making up for shortfalls in specialised infrastructure?

Good to see the Age going nuts for cycling. They’re certainly not subtle about it either. Wonder if it’s having any effect.

Sometimes I miss Melbourne. True the facilities are far from perfect, but they’re way better than Hobart where we have one 10km cycle path, intersected by road crossings. On the bright side, the drivers seem a lot more polite on the whole.
