i disagree. this is/could be visionary. i mean, whereTF is everyone gonna live otherwise?
in suburbs 50km from the CBD with zero amenities?
of course, they’d need to actually listen to town planners and involve architects and ban developers from VCAT, but as a theory it’s sound.
Docklands? Werribee? Coode Island? I dont really care. Bulldozing bits of historical suburbs like Carltoni, Richmond and Burnley to make way for shitty high-rise is a fucking abomination. I did find that article hilarious though. Building bus stops without consulting with Metro about any new bus routes. Boggles the mind.
While Im here, does anyone know who is responsible for approving the installation of that ghastly big screen advertisement thing on the top of Y&J’s in the city? Jesus Christ… It’s burned my retinas. Im almost angry enough to write to 50/50 in the Herald Scum.
Im also unimpressed with the artists renditions of the new development on the north bank. Not a tree in sight.
Biek free bridge?
Bike riders’ bid for car-free zone to extend into St Kilda Road
Cyclists better pay rego to use that bridge…
i, once again, had to stop reading the comments on that page before i tore my computer from the powerpoint and smashed it against the wall.
I don’t even bother. I just gather that my comment will be in the first, if not second reader comments.
“Next they will have Lycra, Vegan Bars along this strip”
that was part of one of the comments. Whats a lycra vegan bar? a bar made of vegan lycra?
To be fair there are some good pro-cycling comments in there too. And nice to see the ‘Pay rego’ argument got refuted within a couple of comments.
Mine was “hi mike u r a ₪₪₪₪”
Didn’t make it. 
Is there a Melbourne equivalent of this thread: http://www.fixed.org.au/forums/f18/worst-bike-stores-sydney-5073/index6.html
Not necessarily for the worst, but just experiences, service good and bad etc?
I have mek search.
going home last night along the Royal CommuterCup Highway…guy with rad beard on white tarck with camo backpack (had a patch with 0-00 on it) got told off for running reds and riding a bit erratic by two guys in hi-vis jackets at the ped lights infront of the hospital. (i don’t know if this was deliberate) but as they took off, the front one looked like he was boxing beardy while the other pushed him from the left out into the car lane. shit looked like it was gonna get ugly, so i high-tailed it around the outside to stay clear.
at cemetary rd, they’d caught up cos of the red light, and they were still going at it. they shoaled all of us while still arguing, someone accused one of spitting, the other for being run into traffic…light goes green, beardy can’t shake them, so he pops a wheelie while #2hi-vis is on his left and #1hi-vis sits on his rear wheel. fortunately they have stopped arguing by this point.
at the zoo turn-off, #2 turns left and beardy follows him, while #1 then runs the red going straight on. (so of course i call him out on it given his sermon earlier to beardy) he just turned and glared, while myself and a lady just smile and laugh about the childish behaviour of the three stoogies

I had a crack at a bloke who tried to undertake me on St Kilda Rd yesterday morning.
“What the fuck are you up to mate?”
“What?”
“You’re undertaking for fucks sake”
“Well… you were riding wide, straight, predictable lines… I had every confidence in your riding ability so I didnt think it would be a problem”
Fuck you and your polite, disarming demeanour… it was still a dickmove.
“No worries”
I honestly though that this was a masturbation euphemism when I first read it.
hahahaha.
looks like the bike path that runs past velo cycles etc (capital city trail?) is being redone. sweet 
Yeah, they have also been relaying the section that goes under Sydney Rd under the bridges.
3.5 km…
Four hundred and ninety eight million dollars.
Fuck my socks.
Two days down the track, South Morang is still a missing link
What is with men walking to work with runners on like girls do, what happened to men just wearing sensible shoes.
