If you are heading back into the city this week - we have installed many new protected bike lanes to make your journey safer. 🚴🚴‍♀️👇

We’re installing more than 500 meters of new protected bike lanes each week. Here is a video of Queensbridge street which shows how these protected lanes make a real difference for cyclists. This is part of our plan to fast-track 40km of new bike lanes over two years.

Think protected bike infrastructure doesn’t make a huge difference? I’m an experienced & confident bike rider, & there’s no way I would bike Toronto’s Danforth Ave in this”before” scenario. I would take my little boy into the “after” scenario. Via @mkapral xitter.gq/mkapral/status/1296884…

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for the choice. #citymakingmath

ICYMI: People who ride bikes in Melbourne have nominated the routes they feel least comfortable riding on and it's not surprising that the infamous Chapel Street has topped the list. bicyclenetwork.com.au/newsro… @BikeSpotProject

Riding 🚴 & walking 🚶‍♀️ have soared in popularity during #COVID19, so we are fast-tracking the delivery of 40km of bike lanes, in partnership with the @VicGovAu. The first five priority routes include sections of Exhibition, Rathdowne, William, Abbotsford & Swanston Streets.

Still struggling to understand why bike-lanes need to be separated with real protected bike infrastructure, & why “paint doesn’t protect” & isn’t real infrastructure? Watch this great before-&-after video of Lansdowne Street in #Melbourne via @MelbourneWay xitter.gq/MelbourneWay/status/12…
