Fame at last
Took some pics yesterday morning on Clarendon Street and started
browsing the BV site for info on who to write to etc when I found this http://tinyurl.com/4nbu5 Second picture, the cyclist in the blue top; well that's me. Anyway, back to writing my letter... -- Cheers Euan |

The cars behind look like they are lining you up... You would think it VicRoads could have put a bicycle lane through the intersection (around about where the front wheel of the cyclist you are passing is). Or at least made the lane a little bit wider. |

BTW, why dont you use Moray St instead? that has bike lanes the entir length in both directions, less traffic, less cardoors, less lights an less hill -- flyingdutch |

Someone else mentioned Moray Street, I haven't checked it out yet. From the Melways it looks like I get off from Albert Park a bit further on than where I normally get off, but then it gets on to Kings Street which isn't much good to me as I need to get to the World Trade Center on Flinders Street. I guess Queensbridge looks good but it's a bit of a long road for a short cut. After Fridays fraught ride through Clarendon Street though I just might have to take that route. Clarendon Street is just plain unsafe now :-( -- Cheers Euan |

"flyingdutch": BTW, why dont you use Moray St instead? that has bike lanes the entire length in both directions, less traffic, less cardoors, less lights and less hill! Trouble I had with Moray was the roundabouts (if I'm thinking of the same street). As you come to one, the bike lane ends and you have to push yourself into the traffic stream. Damn cars ruin everything. It can become a little exciting if you know a car is coming up behind and there are cars in or near the roundabout that you may have to give way to. I always ended up pedalling like crazy and moving into the lane early (out of the bike lane). Not yet warmed up properly, high heart rate and struggle the rest of the way home. |

Still safer fatser than those intersections and dont have any re lights I always ended up pedalling like crazy and moving into the lane earl (out of the bike lane). That's the way. Ascert your "A-thor-eye-tie!" euan, try going down Queensbridge and then left down in front of Crown Or if your approaching Clarendon from the beachside, you can work you way thru to the City end of Ferrars, take the last right (about 100 from the end) then left and then about 100m there is a path/crossin under the freeway and over the light-rail that gets you onto the pat next to the PortMebourne-bound trail that takes you (right) alon Normanby Rd to Clarendo -- flyingdutch |
