I am a huge fan of cycleways and think they are an investment. The ones in the CBD kind of suck but mainly because of the number of driveways and such crossing them. Tuam and St Asaph are good examples. If I ride to work i have a fantastic separated cycleway all the way from Brougham Street to Chinatown. The most dangerous part is Annex Rd/Blenheim Rd/Hansons Lane - still a cycleway but just paint on road.
As a ratepayer and taxpayer I am happy to subsidise them.
I tend not to use cycle lanes when motorbike commuting because if I am filtering I only do it when traffic is stopped and I tend to do it between two lanes (i.e. up the middle, or on the right) because I think I have better vision.
I had a 9am meeting across town today and took the motorbike because the traffic suck diddly ucked.
I thought elections were decided by angry posts on social media. - F5 Dave
