When Paint Isn’t Protection
"The incident also highlights a core issue in #transportation planning: the limits of painted #bikelanes.
The #cyclists involved were riding in a designated #bikelane – exactly where they are supposed to be. But as the video makes clear, a painted line offers little defense against a driver willing to ignore it.
Advocates have long argued that preventing this kind of incident requires more than paint” https://cal.streetsblog.org/2026/03/31/viral-newport-beach-road-rage-incident-leads-to-arrest-highlights-limits-of-painted-bike-lanes

Winnipeg city council has voted to scrap a plan to install a temporary bike lane on Wellington Crescent and instead begin work to design permanent infrastructure. It also approved a request to the Manitoba government to change legislation allowing council to set its own default speed limit.

Can you spot the “bike lane" ?

This is emblematic of why I don't live in the US anymore.

The trailer is less than one meter wide. This width is allowed on #bike lanes all across Europe. How is the two-way "#bikelane" on this image legal!? #Cyclists are second class humans in #Zwentendorf #Austria. #eurovelo #unconstitutional #discrimination #bicycle

Seattle might remove a bike lane — and it's argued to be a good thing?! Surprising take: watch this clear, thoughtful deep-dive on trade-offs — parking, safety, access, and neighborhood needs. Great food for debate for cyclists and planners. #Seattle #BikeLane #Cycling #UrbanPlanning #Transportation #Parking #English

Seattle may remove a bike lane, and that's a good thing?!?

Now this is how you do a protected bike lane/sidewalk combination. No rubber bumpers or plastic posts for "protection" like we usually see in the US. Here we have nice ground pavers for both bikes and pedestrians, a decorative railing separating the bike lane from cars, and a beautiful landscaped divider between the bike lane and sidewalk featuring trees and bushes contained within a cut-stone base.

Do you find the Bay Trail narrow and congested?

Bayside Council is proposing upgrading a narrow section between Dendy St and Green Point. The shared trail will be split into a side-by-side cycling trail and pedestrian trail, partially situated on a new boardwalk.

This is item 12.2 on the agenda for Tuesday 17th February.

Coming along to Council to speak in support, or emailing the councillors, is encouraged.

Recently Infrastructure Victoria recommended building 12 cycling corridors in Melbourne, and other routes in regional Victoria. In our area, they recommended building a protected bike route from Anzac Station to Sandringham (using the St Kilda Rd lanes). We'd like to see all candidates at the upcoming state election signing up to support this.

PPBUG is planning to ride from St Kilda Junction to Sandringham on Wednesday 18th February. Meet at the intersection of St Kilda Rd and Punt Rd (specifically at the park on the north-west corner of the intersection) at 6pm 18th Feb 2026. We will ride to Sandringham along St Kilda Rd—- New St— Hampton St. Stopping as needed to discuss what is needed and take photos.

All welcome; RSVP optional (for last minute changes of plan due to weather etc) or to stay in contact with the campaign.

Anzac Station to Sandringham Strategic Cycling Corridor — Port Phillip BUG

In November 2025, Infrastructure Victoria released Victoria’s infrastructure strategy 2025–2055 . One key recommendation was to invest in 12 cycling corridors in Melbourne and a network of cycle corridors in Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo and Wangaratta over the next 10 years. &a
