on my ride into work today with my head down with the sleet and stuff blasting from the south, it occurred to me that the last section of Evans Bay Parade bike path was thru... amazing!!! and also how long did it take? It feels like a decade? For a few km of bike path. I know there were all the other upgrades happening at the same time but whew. A big shout out to all those workers in their all-weather gear. They would have had some miserable days. #cycling #ebike #TeWhanganuiaTara #cycleways #WLG

Core Urbanism: "Committee for Sydney" is proposing a greenways network across the city, in the "nice things" category because it's away from cars and amongst the fields or rivers or trees
Never forget — cycleways cost about 1% per kilometre as much as roads … and we never talk about what we spend on roads

RE: https://mastodon.nz/@AnnaMcM/116673831433877218
"Instead, we need to ask what sits behind bikelash. And that’s what a group of kiwi researchers did in 2017. They argued that cycle lane planning isn’t some technical, mathematical, neutral thing. It’s about humans, and the problem with humans is we’re messy as hell – something planners need to take into account. I’m going to simplify the researchers’ mahi, so blame me for any boo-boos."

If you have to put up a sign asking cyclists to please use your shared pedestrian path, you've designed it wrong.
As a commuter cyclist, I want to get from point A to point B as fast as I can, without dying. Just like a car driver.
When given the option of riding on the road verge, or weaving in and out of people walking their dogs with headphones on and children walking to school and friends walking along chatting to each other, and giving way to cars at every little side road, then I choose the road verge. So do people on road bikes zipping past me at >30 km/hr.
I really like the separated cycleways that Christchurch city has built. They're safe and fast and well used.
I worry about the recent proliferation instead of "shared paths" in new road developments which combine cyclists with pedestrians and discourage bikes from being on the road at all.
Shared paths are useful for children on bikes, if we teach them how to ride around pedestrians, but they're impractical for an adult cyclist trying to travel 20–30 km/hr.
Please, let's keep investing in separated cycleways for cycle commuters. That's what will get more commuters out of cars, not shared paths.

It's local election year in Christchurch City, NZ, which means we have some politicians, including our self-confessed "petrol-head" mayor, making noise about the city's allegedly high spending on cycle ways. There's a good article today in #ThePress pushing back against that, showing that cycle way spending will be about 0.11% of rates increases. They compare that with the 4.6% rates increase for our new stadium.
What the article doesn't do is compare the city's cycle way and car way spending. I found numbers for the region on the ECan website for the next 10 years, for building and servicing our transport infrastructure. It's 74.3% car spend (mostly road maintenance and improvements), 21.9% public transport (including operating the bus fleets), and 3.3% cycling and walking.

The mayor of Christchurch city, NZ, Phil Mauger, is in the news backing the government’s proposal to cap councils’ rates increases. The article on #RNZ says that Mauger “agreed with [finance minister Nicola] Willis that councils had engaged in wasteful spending”.
Ah, you must be thinking, surely Mauger must mean our $683 million new stadium. That’s a big reason why Christchurch rates have gone up by on average almost 25% during the 3 years of Mauger’s term, while inflation had only risen about 8%.
No, of course not. He’s pointing at our cycle ways. “We've wasted money on how we have designed and built cycleways”. The council has budgeted on average $21 million annually over the next 10 years for cycleway and footpath maintenance and construction.
😔
Remember that it’s election year this year.

One of the most important things today that makes a city liveable and sustainable is a combination of good public transport and cycleways. Melbourne and Sydney have come on leaps and bounds in this regard over the past decade - and Copenhagen sets the benchmark. Wellington should get light rail back on the table - ok it takes major investment and time, but the longterm payoff is absolutely worth it. #publictransport #cycleways

@cabd frankly, I'd gladly abandon #CambridgeUK #MiltonRoad to be the car-clogged hellscape that most of its residents seem to want, if we could have high-quality #cycleways and modal filters on parallel routes each side. But we have none, still. Four half-baked routes from the north edge because #GCP and #CamCitCo never go 100% on any route.

RT David Martin in #BayBUG FB group (public), re. Heath St cycleway removal: (1/2 in 🧵):
Canada Bay Council on Tuesday night voted to accept Traffic Committee’s recommendation to remove the uphill cycleway in Heath St Five Dock, just installed in August 2022.
Note that TfNSW voted on TC against the recommendation, refuting the arguments put forward (re road width, accessing driveways, sight lines at Heath/Rickard). Transport strongly supported the benefits of the cycleway for bike riders and in slowing motor vehicle traffic on Heath St. Transport "offered design support to assist Council in developing a concept design that balances all user requirements" and that "Council consider deferring the decision on removal of the [cycle] path pending the outcome of a design review conducted in partnership with Council". This offer was repeated in a motion from Cllr Jago(Greens)during consideration of the TC recommendation but did not receive a seconder. (NB Both Labour councillors were absent.)
There were five speakers against TC's recommendation: from BayBUG, Bicycle NSW and the [Mortlake-Cabarita]Peninsula Action Group.
The lack of support from the Mayor (Tsirekas) and the TC chair (Cllr Megna) for anything cycling was palpable. After our first speaker presented, the Mayor asked the rest of us whether we really had anything in addition to say. We all claimed our 5 minutes.

So, it looks like #tags are important here to discover and be discovered.
So I fell back in love with #cycling when I bought an #ebike and therefore occasionally rant about #cycleways or lack of them. I live in #Aberdeenshire but also run a holiday let in #Lochalsh so every now and then you get pictures of thereabouts and #Skye. And I’ve a very cute #dog and 2 #cats. I’ll also talk about the #UrbanRealm and #Planning and #democracy and #scottishindependence - it all links up somehow.
