No tiene sentido obligar a las bicis a cumplir normas hechas para cajas de dos toneladas. Un cruce sin semáforos, y cientos de personas fluyendo sin más problema.

The bike lane that helped transform Sixth Avenue is getting even bigger. 🚴‍♂️🌎   Ahead of the World Cup, we’re widening the protected bike lane (14th St-31st St) from 6 feet to 10 feet to improve safety and create a calmer, more comfortable ride through Midtown.

Victoria spends billions each year on transport infrastructure. Dedicating just 5% to Strategic Cycling Corridors would give everyone more choice on how they get around school, work & shops. Enter your address to explore network near you + take action bicyclenetwork.com.au/our-ad…

Find your electorate, see what cycling infrastructure exists — and ask your local candidates to invest in safer streets.
