To any businesses or body corporates out there considering installing #bike parking. Know that if you are physically reachable by bike, people will use it. You will likely free up car parking in doing so as well, bring more people to your business. Build it and they will come.
@7NewsBrisbane@jacquelinrobson We are heading towards LA style traffic due to decades of LA style transport planning.
For too long State and Council have spent the vast majority of funding on road projects, instead of funding public and active transport to a level that provides residents with real choices!
We are in a cost of living crisis. One of the biggest costs is transport due to most people feeling entrapped to drive due to a lack of suitable alternatives.
If our council wants to help with this they could start by providing pop up protected bikelanes so people had a choice!

Been using the bike lane in the new Maroochy CBD a lot lately on the way to pick up my daughter from daycare and can't help but notice how terribly these bollards have been placed. Surely this is a mistake, can we get this fixed @CouncilSCC? @WorldBollard -shame!
Winter on the coast is probably the best time of year to try moving around our beautiful city by bike - the most joyous way to get around. Leave the car at home if you can and give it a try. Join Sunshine Coast Cycling Union. #SunshineCoast#cyclinginstagram.com/reel/CspfLo3BB…
Boost active transport also carries significant economic benefits. For every $1 of public funding invested in active transport infrastructure, $2 in returns are generated thefifthestate.com.au/urbanism/infra… via @FifthEstateAU
Our @bne_lordmayor keeps talking about a "clean green & sustainable" Brisbane. Well the @climatecouncil is showing below what we need for Brisbane to be clean green and sustainable.
Where is the plan to deliver this throughout Brisbane?

If we don’t fundamentally change how we move people & goods, the world is on its way to producing two billion #cars by 2050. There will be a 60% increase in transport #emissions, which is simply unsustainable.

Q: do you want more people riding bikes in your city?
If the answer is yes, protected bike lanes are crucial, as recent research for @cityofmelbourne indicates:
It’s REALLY important for everyone to understand the truth that designing your city for cars fails for everyone, including drivers. Designing a city with CHOICES in how to get around works better for everyone, including drivers.
Think we could we get to 1 million views of this?
