If people can commute by bike in cold countries in rain and snow , why can't they do it in Cairns.<br /><br />You are a typical example of the mindset that will not embrace change.<br /><br />Yes there are many cyclists who behave like idiots on the road. They are easily outnumbered by the the ignorant,unskilled and aggressive motorists that plague our roads. Judging by your comment, you are probably one of them.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14217897938804789667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-85999909757437514732011-02-10T09:03:58.465+10:002011-02-10T09:03:58.465+10:00Bicycle lobby groups have obviously had a win with...Bicycle lobby groups have obviously had a win with this new path. However, we also need a pedestrian lobby group to form and push for footpath construction. Currently, pedestrians have a choice of walking on (often) rain-soaked verges (dodging parked cars and inappropriately placed trees and shrubs), or walking on the road and being dodged by vehicles. While not everyone cycles, most people walk and Cairns is sadly lacking in safe and comfortable places to do so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-9382414712269042092011-02-10T08:14:04.882+10:002011-02-10T08:14:04.882+10:00Cycleways are interesting, but mostly unusable for...Cycleways are interesting, but mostly unusable for commuting in tropical climates.<br /><br />I'm all for getting these 2 wheel hoons of the roads, where they go where they want, ride 2-4 abreast, ignore traffic signals and other traffic controls, ride on footpaths recklessly, and otherwise inhibit proper traffic flow. Many still don't wear helmets, they chat on their phones and blast high decibel music into their ears making them grossly unsafe.<br /><br />A few more casualties would go a long way to getting the attention of these hoons.Bryan Outlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14425331956520386092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878592054777492431.post-2127958173494154242011-02-10T00:19:15.175+10:002011-02-10T00:19:15.175+10:00Excellent!

Can't wait until you can cycle from Palm Cove to the city without touching a roundabout or coming close to being killed by a semi trailer.stinhambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01622569986127283964noreply@blogger.com
