Article in today's SMH
Uphill battle as residents, cyclists and drivers fight for space

I like the concept of a bicycle boulevard but don't really know whether in Sydney, with the average drivers attitude to cyclists being so bad, that it could be effective? Thoughts?

The article is correct about the traffic lights on King Street, the timings are plain stupid, they have turned a 1 minute journey into a 7 minute journey

I'm in favour of a bicycle boulevarde.

No way am I riding down one of those narrow little bicycle lanes with another cyclist coming toward me at an apparent speed of 80 km/h.
