They fail to mention all the bikeway projects they have cancelled!

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

[7NEWS Queensland @7NewsBrisbane]

Dozens of riders have hit the streets to protest Premier David Crisafulli’s new restrictions on e-bikes and e-scooters. The protestors took over lanes of traffic on the Story Bridge and claim this will be more common if proposed laws pass. #Ebike #Escooter #Queensland #Protest #Speed

[space4cyclingbne @space4cyclingbn]

Hundreds of riders turned up to defend legal e-bike use this afternoon. The government’s ridiculous proposals to restrict e-bike use to people who hold a drivers license, with a 10 km/h speed limits on paths has upset many riders across the state

[space4cyclingbne @space4cyclingbn]

Act now to help defend the sensible use of safe legal pedal-assist bicycles in Queensland:
Join others from across Brisbane this Wednesday 1st April at 5pm in Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point for the SNAP ACTION: Defend Legal e-Bikes - Critical Mass Ride

Hey @brisbanecityqld this is not safe. E-scooters are just all over the place!

@brisbanecityqld Thanks

[Brisbane CBD BUG @cbdbug]

Hey @brisbanecityqld can we please have some path maintenance out here.
There is a lot of grass growing up, over & through the path surfaces.
