Create a Separate Bike Lane on New South Head Road

The issue

No more tragic and preventable cyclist deaths in the Eastern Suburbs due to lack of cycling infrastructure! We need a separated cycle path option so that people can ride their bikes safely to the city. 

It's ridiculous that an area as highly populated as Woollahra Council (275,000 people) - not to mention so close to the city - does not have a safe cycle route. Being forced to ride on the side of a three-lane road where there is not even a road shoulder is not good enough for 2017.

A father of four and brilliant doctor and a 26-year-old legend working two jobs to save for a dream have now been killed for no justifiable reason. This is about basic safety, not an ideological competition between cars and bikes, or bikes and pedestrians. People's lives are so much more important than opinions.

Build safe bike routes now!
