@brisbanecityqld There are multiple locations along the street

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

Hey @brisbanecityqld the bike lanes at Rainbow St, Sandgate need some care.
Some drivers have done burnouts and broken the plastic dividers. The bolts are sticking up out of the bitumen.
Thanks

Today's CBD BUG meeting has been moved from the Community Meeting Room on the ground floor of the BCC Brisbane Square Library, upstairs to room 1.3.

Apparently, work occurring in the Tiered Theatrette has resulted in strong/pungent odours in the nearby meeting rooms.

[Brisbane Times @brisbanetimes]

New e-bike rules have been tinkered with by the Queensland government, but have still drawn the ire of community members.

Once again the media gets it wrong.
These are illegal electric motor bikes.
These ARE NOT E-bikes!

[7NEWS Queensland @7NewsBrisbane]

There are growing frustrations as Brisbane's CBD is becoming a playground for teenagers on souped-up e-bikes. This afternoon a pack of riders blocked traffic and taunted police, but aren't facing any consequences. @JdeRichards

[space4cyclingbne @space4cyclingbn]

Thank you to everyone who came to the Critical Mass ride to save legal e-bikes last night.

Queenslanders are concerned about the damage to active transport from laws which discriminate against people who don't have a driver's license and set unrealistic speeds for shared paths

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

When will our Lord Mayor do the same?

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine.

We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave.

It was a wonderful kind of day.

[Cycling UK @WeAreCyclingUK]

It’s not about ditching the car, just making smarter swaps where you can. With fill-ups now £87–£105 😅, those short “I’ll just drive” trips? They add up.

Swap a few for a bike = less fuel, less wear, no parking.

[Vision Zero Network @Visionzeronet]

What can we learn from our friends across the pond?

- 75% of cities saw fewer deaths & injuries after lowering speed limits
- 91% saw broader benefits (↑air quality, ↓noise, ↑active travel)
- No downside for travel times

It’s time to follow their lead https://t.co/lH1v8yFkAu

[7NEWS Queensland @7NewsBrisbane]

Thousands of Queenslanders rely on the convenience of Uber Eats everyday. The delivery giant says its 30,000 strong workforce will be decimated by e-bike changes. Most are international tourists who don't have a licence. @annamcgraw_7

[7NEWS Queensland @7NewsBrisbane]

Tourists love them, a lot of locals hate them. Soon hiring an ebike could be a lot harder as Lime and Neuron threaten to pull out of Queensland.

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

Can we ask everyone to record a short video (<1 minute) in which you say who you are, and describe the effect the new legislation will have on your life. Please send a link to the video to [email protected], or post it on your own socials & tag BQ in the post & use #savelegalebikes
