#Brisbane bike riders want parity with how drivers are treated.
I know several people who have been affected by this. The Story Bridge pedestrian/bike pathway have been closed and no information provided when they'll reopen.
Why not put a popup shared path in a lane on each side?
These Neuron and Lime scooters are getting a bit annoying (if they weren't already).
Lime have been dumping dozens on the footpath everyday in a busy spot in front of the Goodwill bridge, presumably for QUT GP students (noting e-scooters are banned on campus).
On at least one occasion a scooter was neatly lined up going into the bike path. Missed the opportunity for a photo but I'm sure it'll happen again.
In the meantime I'll keep cursive at Big Scooter for these dumb footpath blocking machines and the BCC for its incredibly lax/nonexistent enforcement.
Watching the two most recent videos from Jelbuilder on YouTube. It's wild how Brisbane's bike network varies from really great infrastructure, to mediocre and outright dangerous roads for cycling on. Learoyd Road is a big fat no for me.

Letter to the Qld Transport Minister asking to buy back the former #Bicentennial Bikeway section at Queen's Wharf.

I am suggesting that the government buy back the bikeway as its current operator Destination Brisbane Consortium is an unsuitable operator for the corridor. They have installed non-compliant fixtures, blocked the corridor with an event and set the speed unreasonably low at 10 km/h.
The Star (part of the consortium) is facing liquidity issues which could make for an opportune time to purchase the asset and protect it as a corridor going forward.
#Bicentennial bikeway in #Brisbane was closed today at the Star Casino site with fences, gates and security personnel telling people to get off their bikes to pass through.
It's a temporary event, 4-11pm every day for a few weeks.
Nonetheless just recently it has become a regular occurrence where cyclists are being told to slow down, stop and dismount in the area for various reasons, like trucks, utes, workers and people attending events. This section of the bikeway is no longer a bikeway.
Really pleased to see people from #spaceforcyclingbne there encouraging people to put in complaints to Star, BCC and the state government.
I'm pretty riled up about this as it's a major regression, cutting access on a bikeway that has no real alternative. It should never have been sold off to Star in the first place.
