From the Sydney Morning Herald: Bike-only lanes let cyclists shift into a new gear (24th March 2007)
The City of Sydney has finally released its cycling plan, which
proposes an extra 55 kilometres of separated bike lanes throughout the
council area. The two-way lanes would be separated from cars by
bollards or kerbs. The lanes are the part of the Cycle Strategy and
Action Plan that seems likely to be approved by the council on Monday.
The cycling plan will be discussed in detail at City of Sydney's next Planning Development and Transport Committee.

NSW election countdown: The cycling industry and community is pedalling its message in the lead up to Election Day.
Cities around Australia and the world are boosting investment into making
their communities more cycle friendly to tackle climate change,
community safety, obesity and high petrol prices. Unfortunately NSW has
been back-pedalling and neglecting cycling.
In a final push for election day the Vote4Cycling.com.au election
advocacy campaign has taken out half page colour advertisements in the major
metropolitan press asking candidates to support cycling investment. |

is a non-partisan campaign asking all candidates in the 24 March 2007
NSW State election their views on cycling and to commit to increased

supported by the Cycling Promotion Fund (CPF) and been developed

falling behind the rest of Australia in providing support for cycling
and the subsequent lower cycling rates.

From the Herald Sun, (17/01/07), Elliot Fishman makes this important contribution to the current cyclist registration debate.
Increasing bike sales and declining sales of locally made cars are a sign of the times.
For the seventh consecutive year, Australians have bought more bikes than cars.
This has sparked calls for bike riders to pay registration fees.
The argument is that the fees would reduce driver antagonism towards cyclists.
But, there are important reasons why charging registration fees for cycling would be bad policy.
No other countries charge their cyclists such a fee. |
