I'm surprised traffic light timing is a focus for increasing cycling trips. Bikes can use the same timing as car traffic (we go when the cars go). I know the "bike paths" of sydney have their own little green cycling man, but I mostly ignore those. The bike lanes are infuriating. with multiple areas requiring the crossing of 3 lanes of traffic where the bike lane is on the right side going into an intersection, and on the left on the other side of the intersection. I (and many other cyclists I've seen) are regularly just cycling in car lanes because the bike lane is incompressible in some areas. Often, it is only for a block or 2 until you can get back into the bike lane safely, and stay in the lane for at least a few blocks. I often wonder if the person who is in charge of designing bike lanes in Sydney even has a bike.
