Solving congestion in our major cities
Featured
Big, black, bling, blocking out the sun and your view of the road. Giant utes: you can’t help but notice them, and that's the idea, of course.
Orange in New South Wales is in line for a nice new stretch of bike path, one that will expand the off-road network and improve access to schools, playgrounds and sports facilities.
Work has kicked off on a key Canberra bike route, setting the wheels in motion for safer and more pleasant journeys through the city’s northern suburbs.
In a submission to the federal government’s draft National Urban Policy, Bicycle Network and seven other Australian bicycle organisations have called for active transport infrastructure funding to be increased to 10% of federal transport investment.
Many of our best bike journeys are along coastlines, or up and down the creeks and rivers that meet the sea. These are generally traffic-free routes, scenic, calm and refreshing. But with rising sea levels some of this vital infrastructure is at threat of inundation, erosion and from changes in groundwater chemistry.
The Queensland Government has committed to a significant expansion and upgrade of the state’s bike routes, as part of a $315 million investment in paths and infrastructure for active transport over the next four years.
The Great Vic Bike Ride is the ultimate school camp, but some students find it more challenging than others to join us.
The future of the vital strategic cycling corridor connection to Caulfield Station has again entered the zone of uncertainty with the City of Glen Eira rejecting options for an alternative route that the council itself had proposed.
Fire safety authorities are becoming increasingly concerned at the risk lithium-ion batteries are posing to our health.
The City of Ballarat is continuing to plug gaps in its bike network, and the next link in the chain is a busy street approaching the scenic Lake Wendouree.
