Taiwan is planning to construct 2,600km of bicycle lanes by 2011 to help promote the use of bicycles rather than motor vehicles. Premier Su Tseng-chang said: "the idea is to help save energy, protect the environment and promote the idea of riding bicycles". The Cabinet's plan is to build bicycle only lanes nationwide and also amend related traffic rules so that bicyclists' legal rights can be protected at the same time.
Well done to Taiwan, lets hope Australia is starting to follow the lead from around the world.

First Australian Cyclovia a great success
Congratulations to the City of Moreland, to the Trader's Association and all the partners who have been instrumental in making Australia's first Cyclovia a wonderful success.
