The best cycling infrastructure around the world – including us

Penny Coupland links to this piece in The Guardian: The best cycling infrastructure as submitted by readers (as a follow-up to this).
For instance:
Cycle Brisbane

Brisbane, Australia

Section of Brisbane’s iconic 36-km river loop with jacaranda in full bloom.

Cycle San S

Morlans tunnel

A 1-km-long old railway tunnel turned into a very nice urban cycling lane.

And Ta Da!

Bike lanes in Vancouver, Ca

Taken from window of St Regis Hotel in May 2013

Commissioned, no doubt, by owner of the St. Regis – Rob Macdonald – to illustrate, hey, no bikes using the bike lane!

  1. I wonder if pedestrians are allowed in the Morlans tunnel?
    The Brisbane path has a pedestrian path – it looks narrow, but that could be the distance from which the shot was taken.
    I suppose that the Brisbane path would be a model for a path along the beach from Kits to Jericho if that ever sees the light of day again.

  2. Re: the St. Regis photo – there’s also no cars using the parallel car lane, nor any pedestrians using the pedestrian lane. I guess we better just build condos there then!
