Bloody hell, wot's the go here??!!
Coming back from Balmain this arvo, I noticed a whole heap of folks
cycling about in the city. Anyone would think Sydney is a bike friendly city. In fact during the week, I was minding my own business cycling down George Street, headed towards Railway Square, in the City and some cyclist comes up beside me in the lane I was in and starts looking like he intended to get to Railway Square before me. I looked ahead and there were another 4 cyclists in front of me at the NEXT set of lights in the OUTSIDE lane in George Street. Now they were not doing anything wrong cos the two inside lanes were full of cars and buses and only the lane furthest from the curb, i.e. towards the middle of George Street was clear and that also happened to be the lane I was in (there were no cars behind me so I wasn't holding nobody up - it was just a quirk of the traffic lighting system I think). I did try to catch them to ask them what the deal was but unfortunately, they just pulled away from me as soon as the lights went green. If cyclists continue to use the roadways around the Sydney CBD like those fellows ahead of me were, Clover Moore might not need to build any cycleways |

Didn't Alan Jones imply that Clover Moore should have planned for 2000km of cycleways in and around the Sydney CBD instead of the paltry rubbishy 200kms she had slated? Or was that a rumour I tried to start in an earlier post last week? |
