@BeachRdCyclist @TACVictoria We cancelled our family membership to @bicycle_network - happy to start it up again when they change their leadership and their stance on topics like this.

Better for public health

Better for noise

Better for space

Better for equity

Better for affordability

Better for public cost

Better for safety for EVERYONE

Better for oil independence

Better.

Day 1912 #Pedal2Work (for 27.02.2026)

Somewhat of a cool start to the ride into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail, but the longer I rode, the more humid it became. By the time I arrived at work I was a sweaty mess. Thankfully work has basic end of trip facilities.

Day 1911 #Pedal2Work

Took a ride along Johnson Street, through Melbourne Uni and then onto Elizabeth Street to get into #Melbourne CBD this morning. No real reason to change, but just to see a different view of the city. Some parts had good infrastructure, but others not so much

Day 1910 #Pedal2Work (for yesterday 25.02.2026)

Cool start to a comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD on the Main Yarra Trail. Looks like they are setting up for the Moomba water skiing competition on the sides of the river, so they've made some minor path changes. 😀🚲👍

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

@lsv @Marshall_LR Looks like most have returned except for 462 and 463.

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Hi @Marshall_LR and @lsv - I was listening to LR episode 406 before work, and was half way through when I paused it. After work, I tried to resume it, but the oldest episode is 723. 406 is now gone. I'm using @youtubemusic app on android. Anything I could be doing wrong?

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

@lsv @Marshall_LR Hey Marshall / LSV. Looks like it's happened again. Episodes 441 to around 462 are missing. Would you be able to look into it?

Day 1909 #Pedal2Work

Quick and comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Not many people out and about, either driving their cars or riding their bicycles. Was even pleased that there weren't that many people walking around in Southbank. 😀🚲👍

Day 1908 #Pedal2Work

Comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning along the Main Yarra Trail. Weather was very pleasant. Was pleased to see a group of senior riders in front of me that let me filter through them. They looked like they were having a great time. 😀🚲👍

[Stephen B @BicycleAdagio]

No wall-to-wall media coverage or politicians promising emergency legislation because an e-bike wasn’t involved. Just another tragic accident. Move along.

Day 1907 #Pedal2Work

Cool start to ride into #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. After a few minutes it was very comfortable. It must be that time of year, as there was another big bunch of senior bicycle riders also making their way into the CBD. Looked fun for them.

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1906 #Pedal2Work

Warm morning to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD along the Main Yarra Trail. Not sure why, but it felt quiet on the roads, as there weren't that many cars encountered on the east to the trail. Passed a small group of senior riders enjoying the weather.

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1905 #Pedal2Work

Comfortable ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Only a slight headwind breeze, the humidity wasn't too high, and there were small patches of sun poking through. The shoes still felt damp from riding home on Wednesday evening. Still better than driving.

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1904 #Pedal2Work

Quick and cool ride into #Melbourne CBD this morning via Johnson Street, followed by Swanston Street. I was expecting more cars on the road, but was pleased it was not busy at all. Still some wet patches from the rain last night. 😀🚲👍

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1903 #Pedal2Work

Quick ride on the roads to #Melbourne CBD. Left a little later than usual and was pleasantly surprised at the lack of people driving their cars. Some minor bottlenecks were encountered once I got to the city, but they were more of a problem for car drivers.

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1902 #Pedal2Work

Started this morning with a drop off for the youngest, followed by a ride into the Capital City Trail, then onto the Main Yarra Trail into #Melbourne CBD. Weather was humid and overcast. My top was saturated, especially my back where my bag was. 😀🚲👍

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1901 #Pedal2Work

Very humid ride to #Melbourne CBD this morning via the Main Yarra Trail. It was otherwise pleasant, especially as it was overcast and there was no hot sun above. Not many people driving their cars on the roads or riding their bicycles seen. 😀🚲👍

[ric_man @TheRicMan]

Day 1900 #Pedal2Work

Beautiful day to ride a bicycle into #Melbourne CBD this morning. Weather was great. Slight cool breeze. Sun was warm. Clear skies. It's days like this that make you want to just keep riding. 😀🚲👍
