"I don't mind the lift - it's not a bad way to get to the northern end of the city, cos you go down the hill into Woolloomooloo, and then get the lift up. But coming home it's all wrong - getting the lift down and then having to make…"

Llewster replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"I also rode the Bourke Street cycleway on the weekend. I was coming up with ways to use this cycleway to commute to the CBD - one option i could see would be a Anzac Bridge type corkscrew path at the end of Wilson Street to conect to the pedestrian…"
Saskia Howard replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"you know the time is now, open or not, we need to ride Bourke St on whatever bit of the cycleways is open.
Cycle Chic Sundays Sydney is going to do just that in the next few weeks - anyone interested in joining us please follow and check the blog…"
Kim replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"I went for a ride on the Bourke Street cycleway on Saturday and Sunday. The parts that we did ride on were excellent and I am not sure what all the fuss is from businesses there. In fact, it would make me go to those areas more often. There were…"

Bill Parker replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"and an update (post lunchtime)
The bike lights at the intersection of Cathedral & Bourke St are now uncovered and "operating"
But, as expected, thanks to RTA, the bike green light only appears if a bike has triggered the detector…"
Kylie replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"I want to get all excited about this official opening but I'm thinking it'll be in the next two weeks while I'm laid up :-("
Bill Parker replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"Yes, this is the section of road on which I learned to be assertive and now even the cement trucks get out of my way (at least in my dreams) but the shared paths should not take long to implement (when they start) and will provide an option for…"
Susan replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"Don't forget there is a large school (SCEGGS) on the area between Taylors Square and William st. There has been an increase in the number of students riding, perhaps with a fully functioning cycleway those numbers increase again?"
Susan replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"Paddington has a street style fair (well kind of) during Fashion week they get the residents to have garage sales and all the stores have sale bins out the front. It really brings in extra people to the area and creates a party type atmosphere. A…"
Freewheelin' Franklin replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"to quote LateStarter
Bourke St from Phillip / Crescent to Wyndham (Bourke Rd) - nothing , become a car
back in the day I used to commute from bondi to hurstville, bourke rd/st between coward and just past phillip/cresent was a main spline. It was…"
Kylie replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"Yeah I reckon :) A parade from one end to the other, and a muffin at the Toby's Estate cafe in Cathedral St W'l'm'loo."
Kim replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"Nikki I doubt that there will be a street party. However, it's given me an idea, perhaps when it does finally open Sydney Cyclist should have a celebration there to show the businesses that there are lots of cyclists who do appreciate the…"
Andrew Mac replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"I agree its just that originally we were being told we were getting a cycle way into the city center. It hasn't happened. A route for W'loo cyclist to get to Surry Hills and visa versa would not be high on the list of Must Haves for Cos"
Daniel S replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"yeah, it's not for the faint hearted. i get in the middle of the lane there, and don't budge. too dangerous going even slightly to the side."
Kylie replied to Nikki Di Falco's discussion Bourke Street presence"KimR, this is part of my commute and I generally just go up St Mary's Rd like so."
