"Look, "bike track": that's just semantics. Some are called bikeways, whatever. (One doesn't call a road a "shared commuting space for rubber-wheeled vehicles".) As you have read, I advocate sharing behaviour."

"I think it could be a possibility to run a bike trail right along the river for this part as currently it deviates from the river and goes straight through the farm with paddocks to either side. If a bike trail was built right along the river, it…"

"Good point. I suppose you can't please all of the people all of the time. Maybe I'll just get a t-shirt with a message on the back saying "Cyclists: please refrain from *pinging* me while passing." And a little icon on a bell…"

"I agree, and used to use the same theory as you, but still copped abuse from some people saying they couldn't hear me coming. It appears that people who are annoyed by over warning are less abusive than those annoyed by not being warned. So now…"

"The open road speed limit for cars in NT is 130km/h on major highways, and the rest of the roads have a 110 limit. Darwin CBD is a mix of 50km/h and 40km/h. The limits were introduced in Jan 2007 as the Territory had the worst driving record of any…"

"That's funny because I thought Darwin has no speed enforcement on the roads for cars? Yet they do for bikes? Am I wrong?"

GeeBee replied to Frida Louise's discussion Yarra Trail Rage
"In Darwin, shared paths are gradually being signed with a speed limit sign. They are unpopular with riders, and probably unenforceable, as to enforce a speed limit you need to have some way for the rider to know what speed they are doing, and…"

"I can't find it either...Hmm... perhaps it's a by-law in some places? :S"

"Not that I can see. It really is a nonsense that one should ding a bell every time one passes a pedestrian."

"Is it? Call me stuoopid, I thought it was a courtesy? Way annoying, like honking your car horn at every car you pass on the freeway."

"Err... isn't it like... the law?"

Frida Louise replied to Frida Louise's discussion Yarra Trail Rage
"I'm sooo not a fan of 'warn of approach'. On a 3 hour walk on the trail, I get pinged at every 5 seconds and it's very bothersome. I blame signs for that as cyclists are advised to do this... it is another common sense issue,…"

LongLoad replied to Frida Louise's discussion Yarra Trail Rage
"In this instance I believe that the signs help. I have notices that one council on my commute has clear Path use advise at the entrances to its paths, they highlight all the common sence things like keep left, warn of approach etc.. The also have…"

"Haha. How do you make them? Perhaps like one concerned father I saw a few weekends ago who was telling passing cyclists "SLOW DOWN!!" I'm not quite to the stage of taking policing into my own hands... but I'm also not a parent,…"
