It seems that in it’s haste to push through the light rail to Dulwich Hill, the state government has forgotten to include the greenway. So I have written a short letter to my local member, the minister for transport and the premier. This is the first time I have done this.I chose [...]

Well, it was meant to be a loop, but I took a wrong turn, so it was more like a lasso. I started by rising to the cooks river trail. A route I regularly take. Continue reading The Marrickville to Prospect Loop Wandering the interweb, I found this little gem on the Bicycle Australia web site. Sydney is widely regarded as Australia’s most cycling hostile city… Continue reading Where to Ride Sydney There are some obstacles to riding a trike on the Cooks River Cycleway, some more serious than others. I have a trike at the smaller end of the scale when it comes to width. So some of the obstacles are be more difficult for wider trikes and there may be some spots, like the ramp onto Canterbury road which may be impassable to wider trikes. So let me know if you have a wider trike what your experiences are so we can share them here. I hope to work with MASSBUG to get some of these resolved, though some are not in their part of the world. Continue reading trike obstacles on the Cooks River Cycleway the fist Riding down Frampton lane I was saddened to see that someone had dumped a load of garbage there. So I stopped to take some photos. Just as I was leaving a car came along the lane. There have been many cards on the lane recently. Since school went back this [...] three way This is the most dangerous bit of road I ride on. It is a minor through road, so there is a modicum of traffic. But it has been modified becuase of the railway line. It changes width in unexpected ways, it is sometimes one way and two way. Where [...] roundabout They have been working on the gutters for some time, but I did not realise their real purpose. Then they appeared in the morning to do some more road works. Later, in the evening on my way home, the roundabout had appeared. This photo was taken the next [...]  Coocks River Cycleway I did my first ride up the Cooks River Cycleway. It is quite well constructed and they are doing more to upgrade the track. Some sections are closed with detours while they fix up the foreshore. Apparently the Cooks River is the most polluted river in Sydney and the banks were done up decades ago with steel ribbing to protect the fore shore. The construction of the cycleway started in 1977. Wile I did a circuit from the bottom of the track up to Canterbury road and then walked the cycleway after catching the train to Canterbury to take photos, I’ll just talk about the track heading from Canterbury road downstream to where the Cooks River meets Wolli Creel. But for now this will terminate at Illawarra Road as I have not taken photos of the final section. The cycleway is shared with pedestrians. There are sports grounds along the route and many families with small children. Hence care needs to be taken along the whole route. shanghai 1992 Way back in 1992 I arrived in China at Shanghai airport. There were many bikes back then in Shanghai, though these days there are less. These days they have a working public transport system and underground rail lines. Back then they didn’t. But I did not really hit bike [...] |
