Doyle is a joke.
Surely when even the RACV Public Policy General Manager doesn’t agree with you, you’ve got to be pushing the shit(box cars) uphill.
Ah, so much hate…

How about a nice slow moon-by on Thursday? … holy fsck I know Cathy … wonder if she’ll take a petition to him and popeye both to stfu …
I wouldn’t remove the superstops, but I would remove the bike lanes that go up the side of them. There’s just no point having them there when they’re that narrow, it’s dangerous, and bikes should just merge with the other traffic.
cars on swanston street? where exactly are they going to drive? behind the trams? there’s too much traffic with the taxis, couriers, trams and bikes on there to begin with.
first day back in melbourne i almost got doored riding down there. no i avoid it at all costs - elizabeth is such a better ride.
they can have swanston for all i care.
Corz, PLEASE print that spoke card!

Subject: City of Melb bike rally
Dear all,
I am helping to organise a rally outside the Melbourne Town Hall this
coming Tuesday 16th Dec, to welcome the new Lord Mayor to his first
Council meeting and let him know that we don’t support his plan to allow
cars back into Swanston St. The council meeting starts at 5:30, so the
rally will begin at 5pm to make sure Mr Doyle and his fellow councillors
get an ear-and-eye-full of us before they head into the meeting.
During the council meeting, some councillors are planning to put forward a
motion to have a range of options canvassed for Swanston St - one of which
would be reopening it to cars, while others would focus on making it a
bike, pedestrian and tram friendly route. It will be important for council
to know that there is a loud and proud bike community that wants
sustainable transport to be front and centre in the City of Melbourne,
which is the purpose of the rally.
The mainstream media will be there and Jeremy Rawlins, whose wife Carolyn
was killed on Swanston St earlier this year, will address the rally. I
hope to send a flyer through tomorrow that you can email round to your
networks; in the meantime, just pop the date in your diary and let me know
if you’d like to help out - we’ll need a few people on the day to act as
marshalls (making sure the rally doesn’t venture onto the tram tracks) as
well as some people to hand out flyers in the lead up to Tuesday.
Here’s the flyer.
hehe. one legged riders
should have made it friday then they could have had a circlejerk with critical mass!
disced frames are the new potato
instead of a protest why not have an alleycat from melbourne uni to flinders street?? all riders welcome
I hope you’re not serious…
Where do all these preps come from :evil:
not really… would be interesting though, fun too.
a bit short…
it’d be a good sprint though.
HURR~ WUT I DO?
