Parramatta Road is no longer a road. It’s a stroad! What’s a stroad? A stroad is best described by what it isn’t. Neither a street nor a road. Roads convey people and goods from one place to another, and the primary goal is efficiency of movement. Streets are places to be – to live, to…

But now it’s driven by the climate emergency and powered by 100% renewables. So, from an environmental perspective, it’s great to see progress on a…
Painted bikes on roads do not a cycleway make. City of Canada Bay Council’s claim that it plans to modify (and not remove) the section of new bicycle path at Heath Street, as reported in City Hub, is misleading. This is because it has chosen to include bike stencils on unprotected roads in its definition…
Roll-on bikes on regional trains is years overdue! Dismantling, boxing and weighing bikes just to board TrainLink is a major deterrent to regional tourism. Cycle tourism will continue to prefer Victoria, NZ and Europe over NSW because an outdated TrainLink policy doesn’t support Roll-On Bikes on All NSW Trains. Bicycle New South Wales collaborated with…
