I have seen several videos of you cycling in Melbourne and one distinct observation I saw is that there were not many people cycling despite having a dedicated cycling lane. Although it appears that most lane were not protected, in my opinion cycling was low based on what I saw on your clips. Do you agree with my observation?
@urbanaus57522 жыл бұрын
I cycled when I had time to do so. Often Friday between peaks or weekend. Commuter paths and lanes are busiest at commuter times. Such as this example: twitter.com/MelbourneWay/status/1224586349094653952?t=EX8xzF7UuEAJyUi8FF7CfQ&s=19

A painted bicycle gutter is far, far inferior to properly protected cycling infrastructure. One is dancing with death and trusting every individual distracted driver to see you at all times, while protected infrastructure is as safe as going for a stroll on a footpath

Hey mate that's fantastic footage there but my only criticism would be just incase you are not aware of it. Is you legally by law are not allowed to come up the insides of any cars or vechicles with Indicators on and displayed witch ever side of the vechicle that they are on. So if they are signalling left you must not ride up the left hand inside of the car or vechicle. And if it's the right Indicator on and displayed then you must not ride up the right hand inside of the car or vechicle ethier. Doesn't matter if the car or vechicle is stopped in traffic or at the Traffic lights or atan intersection you still are not allowed to do it. As if the car or vechicle driver doesn't see or realise that your coming up there insides they may turn across your paths by accident and side swipe you and knock you off your bike and you could get seriously injured or even possibly killed by the car or vechicle accidentally running you over as well also. So the best thing to do is to keep back behind the car or vechicle and wait for them to go first and then proceed on your way doesn't matter if there is a protected or unprotected bike lane there or not still shouldn't do it for own safety is the only reason as to why I'm telling you this to keep you safe and out of harms way from motorists as a fellow cyclist myself from experience. Stay safe and happy cycling mate and thanks for the great footage hope to see some more of your great footage in the future ahead. 🙂

Cool stuff! Slightly sad that Geelong seems to be following the US-style protected bike lanes rather than having cycle paths attached to the pavement (like Copenhagen or street-adjacent sections of the Dutch network), and the high kerbs on either side of a bike lane is our own brand of silly. Still, better than nothing -- it certainly looks a lot safer and more comfortable than riding next to motor vehicle traffic.
@urbanaus57522 жыл бұрын
Check the blog post in the description. The design approach Geelong has taken allows the whole corridor to be built quickly with potential for future upgrades. High quality Dutch/Danish infrastructure tends to be expensive for local councils and where it is built, it's often short and doesn't connect well into other bicycle routes. Not that I'm against higher quality infrastructure!
@unsafevelocities56872 жыл бұрын
@@urbanaus5752 Ah, yep, I see in the blog post you're way ahead of me! Also, I didn't realize the plan was so extensive for Geelong, so future updates are more likely than I thought. I understand the financial and practical issues with introducing an entire cycle path network and I certainly don't expect that any time soon. What I was referring to was that even on the small scale (e.g. what kerbing should be next to cyclists, where bicycles should cross junctions, which side of the left turn lane the bikes should be, etc.) so often these developments in Australia and the US seem to be experiments with designs long since abandoned in places with high cycle usage which makes me scratch my head a bit.
@Ladadadada2 жыл бұрын
@@urbanaus5752 I've slowly come to favour that approach after seeing how well it worked in Seville. A quick-n-dirty sparse protected network can be made very quickly (they covered the whole city in three years) and while it's not all that comfortable it is safe and therefore will get used. And once it's getting used it's a whole lot easier to justify filling in the gaps and upgrading the quality. Great to see it coming to Australia.

I used to imagine Canberra to have been an Australian utopia, an imposing urban icon. It is moving in that direction, only now with light-rail that is becoming a global trend, but it is still the "mediocre country-town", defined by its mid-20th-century Americanised structure and suburban sprawl. If it had followed it's original plan faithfully, as illustrated by Mahony Griffin, I'm sure it would have provided a more robust structure to be fit for the 21st-century; with trains, mid-density, a New Australian natural style, lake features, walkability, etc. But alas, as with many things, bureaucracy can be short-sighted.

I actually really really love canberra right now, I just think the city centre is a bit neglected at the moment. Lots of work is being done in braddon, barton, around the lake, and some suburban areas (Campbell has a new main walk which is absolutely phenomenal). I'll admin the Gungahlin town centre is coming along nicely but parts are really unpleasant and unwalkable too, and don't get me started on the carpark wasteland of majura park. I appreciate the effort being put into canberra though

Pretty much my cycle route to work. Coming from Thornbury I join this route from the north at the "unnamed" lane from Hartington Street, then eventually turn right at Gertrude Street, on to Nicholson Street, Victoria Parade and Spring Street to the corner of Little Lonsdale Street. There have been improvements since your film, especially to the crossing at Alexandra Parade.
