So, for a month the Waterfall ride will either have to go though RNP, turn at Sutherland or we could go somewhere else for a month - no bad thing.

Great news about the 3m bicycle lane though - that rocks!

Yes, but are they going to sweep it regularly? Also, if they put in a barrier it may make it hard for groups to overtake, esp newbies.

It seems to me that a lot of this development in recent years is more a response to motorists demands that cyclists be kept off their roads.

I've seen so many stuff-ups by councils that end up making roads even more dangerous for cyclists that I reserve my enthusiasm till I've seen it.

I read today that the bike lane they will be putting in will be painted gold too.

So does that mean you have to ride through the park and turn around back through the park again if both direction are closed off?
