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)

Minneapolis
An interesting article (The Age, 9 Oct.) on bike facilities and levels of cycling (at 4% of journeys, high for the US) in Minneapolis.
I have actually been there, but not cycled, in the depths of winter. At that time, cycling is possible with practice, but not accident-free. The cycle lanes help. Interesting that the modal share of cycling is over twice that of Melbourne.
