"River Styx - I'm no going there. Sorry to evoke bad times having experienced some of this myself."

"Just to play devil's advocate. Tell us why they annoy you - if they had NSW people working for them as their agents; would that make a difference? Note - I definitely disagree with some of their actions. I would however suggest they have been…"

"You might care once they start using BNN, BNS, BNW, BNQ, etc   ;--)"

"BNV"

"That's great Ben - keep up the good work. I was wondering what your impressions were, subsequent to the recent Great Map Schism of 2012. I figured 20% of Australia disappeared overnight - with whole towns such as Townsville just vaporised.…"

"It's nice to see a well thought out response to the ACA dribble from Crikey.com.  However in a similar vein to ACA here we see a probably genuine belief that children should be dressed up in safety vests on their way to school. I…"

"For those interested the NSW CyclewayFinder map has been added as an overlay to the BigYak Bike Trails map - with the kind permission of the "Bicycle information for New South Wales" website. You can select the layer in the menu on the…"

"Not sure if this article from Street Corner has been previously discussed? It goes as far as one troll quoting another troll (or them self) to make it all look legitimate. Absolutely…"

"Lies, damned lies, and statistics. Further analysis suggests original paper is in error and actually shows cycling rates have increased by eight percent! The authors of this paper are certainly sufficiently qualified to comment:  Cycling rates…"

"Try OSMand - there is a free version and a paid version. Free version works well. It's a bit tricky to set up but has a variety of map types: OSM, OSM bike, Google, etc. Maps can be vector or tiled and maps can be used off-line - ie no…"

"I think it's got something to do with the fact that we are sold this fabulous space; that is the inside of a car. Outside the car is a hostile world. And it is - walking down the street I'm referring to is a traffic sewer. It's…"

"Laverton station in Melbourne is absolutely jam packed with cars by about 7.30 am. It also has two Parkiteer cages, which are completely full as well, even though its not that easy to ride to this station due to the high speed traffic that…"

"OK, so do you wish to progress further updates of the map from external sources (such as myself), or would you like to leave it as it is?  :-)  I could understand the latter given the amount of work that I know that you would have…"

"The rail station locations have been extracted from the OSM database - then reconfigured and superimposed on a google map. The google map is just facilitating the display of the information by allowing its computer power to dynamically generate the…"

""The OSM data can't be copied from any other map" Zed, I don't understand the significance of this comment, as the map that appears on the link is from Google Maps.  I respect OSM's business model of original data, but…"

"Well, yeah, but the WCWR is hardly a commuter service, though I wonder if you could take your bike on it if touring and wanting to avoid a few hills between Strahan and Queenstown. There is also a tourist train at Don near Devonport."
