  1. #Melbourne #BikePath #cycling hazards, Jan 2026 edition. Feral looking guy pushing a supermarket trolley full of crap down the middle of the path in Oakleigh, I slowed, rang my bell, called out "on your right". So he then spun the trolley 90 degrees to be sideways across as much of the path as possible and kept walking square down the centre line. I slowed even more, pulled as far over as possible and started to go past and he slammed the trolley sideways into my thigh and shoved me off the path, yelling "F'ing on my f'ing right f'ya". Managed to stay upright, rode off through the dirt and called him a few choice words

  6. #Urban #WildlifeCorridors Help Mitigate #Climate Effects

    Kyle Chan February 26, 2025

    Excerpt: "#GreenCorridors offer a promising start to mitigating these urban issues, allowing cities to naturally lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, a plant process that releases water vapor to cool the surrounding air. Increased vegetation will also allow more hazardous particulate matter (PM2.5) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to be absorbed, reducing greenhouse gas concentration and improving air quality.

    "#Columbia’s second-largest city, #Medellín, launched a green corridor initiative in 2016. Since then, environmental planners there added rows of vegetation along the most polluted avenues, maximizing the amount of CO2 intake from their $16.8 million investment. Maurício Correa, a researcher studying environmental engineering at a Colombian University, found that the 8,800 trees planted became effective 'green barriers' against particulate matter and reduced average city temperature by two degrees Celsius.

    "Fighting #ClimateChange isn’t the only thing green corridors can do. Historically, #wildlife has rarely been welcomed into urban life, experiencing drastic changes in the #ecosystem. However, nature-based infrastructure can promote #biodiversity and provide animal species with a safe habitat. Green corridors are indeed multi-purpose and flexible. To maximize the limited space in busy cities, green corridors can function as recreational centers, city facilities and much more—all while mitigating climate change.

    "Green corridors can be an effective solution for any city anywhere. In #NewYork, the #ManhattanWaterfrontGreenway consists of almost 32 miles of #BikePath lined with various plant species. Urban '#NatureWays' in #Singapore mimic the natural #rainforests by incorporating trees with #canopies stretching across the roads."

  11. First real ride along part of the Djerring-Scotchmans Creek off-road #bikepath. Got on the path at corner of Oxford/Burlington in Oakleigh, ride 5m. Stop as drivers come straight out across the path from the gym, including some who turn left and drive down the bike path to use it as a shortcut to get to the roundabout, passing the bumper-to-bumper cars on the parallel road. Car on the path then stops, completely preventing any cyclists getting past! @augustusbrown

  14. FFS, even FULLY SEPARATED #CYCLING #INFRASTRUCTURE (yay! ✨🚲🛴🎉) isn't safe from murderous #carbrain. The 2nd time in ~a month a #car driver has launched off the freeway (how??), landing upside down on the #Boulder - #Denver #bikepath! WTF can we do?! kdvr.com/sports/color... #fuckcars #bikesky
