I have an e-bike in Sydney and use komoot as a route finder, here's its map of existing bike paths and optimal streets avoiding cars: https://www.komoot.com/plan/@-33.9029523,151.1033633,11.151z?sport=e_touringbicycle open Maps; hit More Maps; select Open Cycle Map It's a bit fiddly to get going but works. There is a cyclist surveyor who made and maintains a cycling map of Sydney highlighting proper paths, minimal car traffic, minimal hills. Here's the facebook group and here's the blog. You should go advocate with this group and see what's already been done. edit: ugh probably the unsexiest possible

Bucky Fullminster posted:Recoome appears to be a class traitor who climbed the corporate consulting ladder and is now pulling it up behind him by denying the proletariat mobility because he thinks everyone can just get an uber or a sea plane or something. Make sure you use those exact insults when the premier asks why they should fund more infrastructure for Sydney over social housing. You didn't address the excellent points raised by trunkh so I think you should go back to the drawing board with the pitch here lest you melt down spectacularly in front of the premier (lmao).

Change tends to be kinda dull. Like I love transformative infrastructure works as much as the next urban planning nerd, but I suspect the most impact I've ever had has been from attending and contributing to workshops and community consultations run by my local council.

Bucky asked for comments and he got them. Some might even be useful. These ones bitching about are the same complaints he’ll see elsewhere. Good for him to see them and recognize them next time. poo poo heads. That’s who he’s fighting against. Good luck Bucky. I just wanted you to know. We’re all counting on you.

Riding through the city streets, the wind against my face, Pedaling on these bike paths, at a steady pace, Sydney's waking up, the sun begins to rise, On my two-wheeled machine, I feel so alive. Oh, bike paths of Sydney, where freedom finds its way, Weaving through the neighbourhoods, with every turn we sway, From the beaches to the city lights, we ride with no dismay, Oh, bike paths of Sydney, guiding us along our way. Cruising 'round the harbour, with the water by my side, The bridge above me, as I pedal with pride, Through the bustling streets, I find my own retreat, On these bike paths, where the city and nature meet. Oh, bike paths of Sydney, where freedom finds its way, Weaving through the neighbourhoods, with every turn we sway, From the beaches to the city lights, we ride with no dismay, Oh, bike paths of Sydney, guiding us along our way. In the morning light, we gather our strength, Riding through the parks, exploring the full length, Through the green spaces, under the shining sun, These bike paths of Sydney, our journey's just begun. As the day goes on, the city comes alive, On our bicycles, we strive to thrive, Navigating through the traffic, with caution and with care, These bike paths bring us closer, a community we share. Oh, bike paths of Sydney, where freedom finds its way, Weaving through the neighbourhoods, with every turn we sway, From the beaches to the city lights, we ride with no dismay, Oh, bike paths of Sydney, guiding us along our way. So let the wheels keep turning, as we explore this town, With the wind in our hair, and the sun shining down, On these bike paths of Sydney, we'll continue to roam, For the joy of cycling, in this city we call home.

You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had no meaning. You have cried that man's sins are destroying the world and you have cursed human nature for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster. In the name of a return to morality, you have sacrificed all those evils which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed justice to mercy. You have sacrificed suffragettes to public housing. You have sacrificed reason to Q Anon. You have sacrificed wealth to need. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed happiness to duty.

I'm familiar with that guy but hadn't used Komoot, looks cool cheers. The problem still remains, that the perception of cycling is that it's not viable because of the disjointed nature of the network. The best way to change that is with a top-down whizz-bang SuperHighway that people can count on to ride anywhere in complete safety and comfort. And delivering that would really not be too difficult. And in the meantime we'll get to work on the bottom-up approach too, since no issues with the plan itself have been identified, thanks all.

I actually agree with this - there's heaps of places I wouldn't ride to because the main cycle path fizzles out partway. While I'm a confident cyclist, I'm still not keen to deviate from riding on a familiar protected bike path to navigating through a suburb I'm unfamiliar with or having to handle major roads, particularly at night. However, it's a hard sell and the benefits are non-obvious unless you already cycle and have had to deal with the confusion of paths that aren't continuous.

Yeah, no poo poo it's not as hard out there where people are reflexively polite to someone ranting to them about poo poo. They're probably invested in you as a person if they know you.

good chat guys thanks. Didn't mean to exclude Penrith btw, it just didn't fit on the map at the right resolution. SuperHighway already exists, just needs to be designated and advertised as such. Still keen to hear any ideas on how to improve mobility.
