Crap cycle lanes of Melbourne The Warrington Cycle Campaign in the UK produced "Crap Cycle Lanes: 50 Worst Cycle Lanes in Britain" (Eye Books, 2007). It documents how bad transport infrastructure often lets down or endangers cyclists. This blog provides some similar cases of misplaced investment and neglect from around Melbourne, VIC, Australia. Let's actually get workmen on site rather than producing 'cycling strategies'. You have to laugh (otherwise you would cry)

Darebin lack of cycling funding
Suzanne Robson. 14 Dec 10. Darebin lack of cycling funding wheel setback. The Preston Leader.
Highlights a lack of funding for new cycle infrastructure in Darebin, northern suburbs of Melbourne. Darebin has made some uninspired decisions in recent years and there is a lot of lazy infrastructure planning - more white lines, rather than tackling dangerous spots and pinch points that are heavily used by cyclists. I have highlighted some of these on this site.
Update 2011 New Darebin cycling strategy being developed. Some community input. Let us hope it redresses the lethal spots like the High Street to Clifton Hill bridge over the Merri Creek.
