The glacial pace of progress, what little there is, is very frustrating.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412247742128741823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168389039373323640.post-32594018038686681092016-08-21T03:27:57.822+09:302016-08-21T03:27:57.822+09:30Here's the edited text of an op-ed I wrote rec...Here's the edited text of an op-ed I wrote recently for the Adelaide Advertised (don't think it was published): "It’s debatable whether the $12m joint funding for new bicycle facilities in the Adelaide CBD is the ‘largest single investment in cycling infrastructure in the city’s history’...

I wonder what would happen if the council just went ahead and installed something - whether temporary or not.Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412247742128741823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168389039373323640.post-7207221863789396212016-08-19T01:26:23.106+09:302016-08-19T01:26:23.106+09:30I agree, Frome Street is OK they shouldn't mes...I agree, Frome Street is OK they shouldn't mess with it when there other jobs to do.

In NYC, while the groundwork was laid to improve a lot of the infrastructure, the key that really unlocked the city as a bicycle city was the bike share.
