Default Brisbane Bikeways

It really cheezes me off that they want to promote cycling as a way of
reducing congestion on our roads, and at the same time keeping us fit, well
you cannot just enjoy a ride around Brisbane bikeways anymore, it seems that
they are forever doing work and closing bikeways.
I went on a ride yesterday, and around the Riverside Bikeway in the city it
has sections that say "Cyclists must dismount", why, why can't we just take
care on these sections.
I was abused yeterday by some walker saying hey mate can't you read the
signs??

I refuse to ride on the road as its way to dangerous, too many idiots on the
roads that just hate cyclists guts, and are out there to hit you.

I have been all over the world, and its a shame that Austraians can't
respect cyclists like other countries do.

Now with this Northbank project ( at North Quay ) they are talking about, 10
years of construction, its going to close one of Brisbanes busiest, and
favourite bikeway loops.

Its a shame our cycling authorities arn't doing enough for us, they are
pretty slack, I have complained many times, and it seems it they don't
really care about us.
