Topic of the week among inner Melbourne cyclists is the newly upgraded mega tram stop on Swanston St, in front of the State Library. It’s been months and millions in the making, how would it work?
It’s been about a year and a half since the curbside bike lanes were installed in Albert Street, East Melbourne. Let’s go back and see how the setup is going.
“We try to do rides that are somewhat audacious. If they were easy, it wouldn’t be all that satisfying when you get to the finish.” –rider, Seattle Randonneurs video
“Keep calm and ride on”
“My advice to you is that when you’re out on your bike, as often as possible, look up from your Garmin, heart rate monitor and bike computer, and look around and enjoy. Maybe even leave technology at home?” –xcmankan
“[Roadside assist] man told us he’s doing lots of flat batteries these days because ‘Everyone’s riding their bikes…forget their car needs to be used’” –@treadlie
Not a big flood in the scheme of things, but it sure left its mark.
“In fact, the contractions on the bike were the easiest to bear because I was distracted and doing something I love.”–Susie Weber
I took the Melbourne Bike Share scheme for a test ride yesterday.
“I suggest the following: we are all real cyclists, no matter why we are doing it.”–Mia Birk
