“No-one cycles to the airport to catch a flight.” ??
Well, we did on our way to Newcastle for the Australian Walking and Cycling Conference.
What’s trickier at Brisbane Airport is finding your way by bike, and locating the bicycle parking.

We were delighted to meet Gregory Andrews, at AlterCOP30 who rode his e-bike from Canberra to Brisbane to attend.
Gregory has tagged his ride #eBike4Australia and explained the journey it's a statement about climate action and a safe and positive future for our kids and Country.

It’s almost Halloween so we dug up Brenda Bones for what we hope will be the last time to check progress on the Viola Place to Schneider Road Bikeway connection. It looks like riders at Brisbane Airport will still be getting a trick on Friday, but a treat won’t be too far into the future!!

Woohoo! Confirmation from Brisbane City Council (via the media) one footpath on the Story Bridge will be open again tomorrow (Friday)!
Council are now saying "The latest expert advice confirmed the footpaths could last another two to five years”. Then why close both footpaths with no notice?

The next celebration will be when the temporary decking is completed and footpath(s) reopen, which we hope will be very soon. Until then, don't miss the bus!

This morning the Story Bridge Bike Bus crew celebrated the 150th bike bus journey with party hats, cake and sparklers.
The 8am bike bus has been a great community initiative to get people across the bridge safely after BCC suddenly closed active transport access.

Celebrating World Car-Free Day on Herschel St this morning, with a pop-up protected bikelane. Our lane took a few minutes to install, was cheap and effective. Hope Brisbane City Council was watching to see how well the lane worked.

We don’t think this will be a disruptive protest but we have notified Police and Council that we intend to hold an “assembly” in the left-most lane of Herschel St while we cheer on those who go car-free that day and ride their bike instead.

Pop-up bikelane on Herschel St for World Car-Free Day
After Council gave a non-committal response to our 800-signature petition, we intend to show how easy it would be to install a protected bikelane on Herschel for people to ride between the Bicentennial Bikeway, the CBD and northern suburbs.

The bike bus is still rolling across the Story Bridge. Good on them keeping this great initiative going for months while we wait for the footpath to be fixed.

The #StoryBridgeBikeBus rolled across the bridge again this morning, thanks to the Story Bridge Active Transport Alliance for keeping Brisbane moving. The bike bus can’t take scooters or pedestrians sadly. We need Council to dedicate a lane on the bridge for pedestrians, scooters and bikes.

Courier Mail journalist, Elodie Jakes, nervously joined the Story Bridge Active Travel Alliance bike bus recently.
She wrote: “I had a new-found appreciation for Brisbane cyclists, riding in this city is not easy and I can recognise how frustrating it is when a crucial bike path was taken away.”

The bikeway and pedestrian path between the Goodwill Bridge and Waterline Park at Gardens Point is closed today and Monday and Tuesday next week for works. The diversion along Mangrove Walk seems to be working well. The works will be completed at the end of next week.

Yesterday, without fanfare, the protected bikeway on Melbourne St, South Brisbane was finally opened!
Of course we'd like to see it extended to Boundary St and into West End, but for the moment we're celebrating getting this far! Thanks to those in Brisbane City Council who made this happen.

Davies Park at West End has a new bike rack thanks to Councillor Trina Massey. The Farmers-markets bike rack was overflowing on market days. The new racks are a better design for cargo bikes and bikes with panniers. The new rack on Riverside Dr is already popular and well used.
