For example Blackburn to Forster Rds on the southeastern, downhill and ~1km long. they have a race every year on the freeway from Belmont up to Joondalup in Perth (about 40 clicks i guess) which is awesome. 3 lanes of traffic all to yourself. biggest danger is hitting the reflective lane markers at 50+! -- byron27 |

If there's a police direction, that's one thing, but a permanent rule? Is it legal on normal roadways to prohibit a class of vehicle? Most freeways in most states prohibit animals and animal-drawn vehicles. Some prohibit bicycles on part or all. Some roads have weight limits, some have size limits. Don't see why they can't be about underweight as well as overweight I thought freeways were a different (special) case though? My understanding was that a normal gazetted road was open to all 'vehicles' (which, AFAIK, includes bicycles). Thus the question. And, Andrew, I've ridden up Olivers Hill and felt as safe as I feel on most busy roads. Your paranoia does not mean the road is any more or less safe than any other road. Zebee |

There's talk within Blackburn of organising a race along it before it gets opened, maybe in conjunction with a BV ride as well. We'll see what happens. |

"Frankston police have been directing them to detour" What a ****ing joke, last time I was there it was more like Frankston police forcing us to detour by nearly bloody killing everyong and hardly approaching this issue as though it was in our (cyclists- or hell riders if you will) best interests, what an absolute pile of ****. -- Jono L |

Of course it is possible to prohibit vehicles. In this case, it is much safer to ride up Hopes Rise. You are looking at 80km/hr car traffic coming around a bend straight at you when you are doing around 40km/hr if you are Lance Armstrong, and about 15km/hr if you are me. Really? Not been my experience. All but the most cavalier travel within the limits of what they can see which certainly isn't 80km/h. -- Cheers Euan |
