Agreed. I think that she is setting an excellent example. I am looking forward to hopefully crossing paths with her on my commute so that I can give her a big smile and cheer.
That's correct - I sit in the 2nd from left lane in the section jutting out a little - so you get a head start on people going into the tunnel.
The light sequences do suck - and I have noticed a few cyclists actually do a run with the traffic down…
I think that 60 minutes actually combined a few tapings together. I think maybe that filming of Keneally might have been done before she was premier - and so didn't have protection. Same with the Amsterdam thing - i think that might have been done w…
Apart from her government's rubbish support for cycling, I still think it's a huge gesture by the Premier to actually take the effort to cycle and talk it up as a viable form of transport. Good on her!

Well they are putting in the cycleway down College now and a cycleway down Kent - so it would seem I won't have the pleasure of holding traffic up anymore with my 15kph. I hope they extend the green cycle lane down Park St - Druitt St down to Kent t…
Yes it is rather strange how when i stop at a red light - say a pedestrian one with no pedestrians crossing as they have already jay walked or something - all the cars look at me and wonder why I haven't gone through - then I hold them up for 10mins…
I think we need what they have in Melbourne where they have traffic lights that give bikes a head start.
Go to 3.14 in this one

That will bikes running red lights I feel.
Keneally does have a pretty easy run to work down Anzac Pde ive seen her a few times. She probably doesn't see the need for any improvement in cycling infrastructure - or most likely people might see her pushing her own pursuits down peoples throats…
