Bob* was riding across the Kurilpa Bridge into the city on a quiet school holiday Friday morning, also coincidentally World Car-Free Day, when … BAM, he was $464 poorer.

    You don’t need speed limits for this. Cyclists are more than capable of riding to conditions and either slowing down or going around pedestrians. Fine cyclists if they’re actually riding recklessly, not if they’re going at a perfectly reasonable speed given the amount and proximity of pedestrians. The fact that there have been zero incidents recorded on this bridge pretty clearly indicates it’s not a problem area.

    better just ban bikes(and scooters) from shared pathways

    It’s literally called a shared pathway. The entire point of it is to allow active transport of all forms.

      We are not talking about reasonable cyclist. It is more about morons who zig-zag between peoples on full speed. And under ban, I mean to not create a shared pathways. Section of road should be for car or bikes/scooters or pedestrians.

        This could only work if you actually started building separated bikeways everywhere. Which we are a long, long way away from having.
