No we don't. We need better bikepaths, separate from cars, covered from the elements, multi-lane, safe and secure, extensive routes.
I have promoted the idea of building a network of bikepaths over the train lines here in Brisbane. Goes everywhere the train does, with entry and exits at trains stations.
- codedokode 8y agoNot only bikepaths but also parking lots for them.
- girvo 8y agoOh man that’d be fantastic. Though I don’t know how it’d work through Central. I used to ride from the Valley to Red Hill for work every day, and even that felt too sketchy, which is sad :( I love Brisbane, but there’s a lot of room for improvement.
- i_feel_great 8y agoI'm sure engineers can figure that out, but I am thinking as soon as you'd hit Roma Street from either direction the path should go along the North and South Banks of the river. Raised platforms in the city, say over Adelaide Street and Elizabeth Street along one way, and over Edward Street and George Street the other way, would be amazing. Just imagine. I live in Nundah and work in Edward Street. Biking down Sandgate Road, Nudgee Road or Gympie Road in peak hour is suicidal. Back roads are not much better.
