They fail to mention all the bikeway projects they have cancelled!

The new Queensland Government is delivering better roads and transport, getting you home sooner and safer. With $41 billion invested, work is already underway right across Queensland.

Once again the media gets it wrong.
These are illegal electric motor bikes.
These ARE NOT E-bikes!

There are growing frustrations as Brisbane's CBD is becoming a playground for teenagers on souped-up e-bikes. This afternoon a pack of riders blocked traffic and taunted police, but aren't facing any consequences. @JdeRichards

Thank you to everyone who came to the Critical Mass ride to save legal e-bikes last night.
Queenslanders are concerned about the damage to active transport from laws which discriminate against people who don't have a driver's license and set unrealistic speeds for shared paths

When will our Lord Mayor do the same?
I joined NY’s Cutest on the Bergen Bike Bus that they ride to school every Wednesday, rain or shine.
We’re adding bike boulevards and more pedestrian space on Bergen and Dean Street, from Court Street to East New York Ave.
It was a wonderful kind of day.

It’s not about ditching the car, just making smarter swaps where you can. With fill-ups now £87–£105 😅, those short “I’ll just drive” trips? They add up.
Swap a few for a bike = less fuel, less wear, no parking.

What can we learn from our friends across the pond?
- 75% of cities saw fewer deaths & injuries after lowering speed limits
- 91% saw broader benefits (↑air quality, ↓noise, ↑active travel)
- No downside for travel times
It’s time to follow their lead eurocities.eu/latest/eurocit…

Thousands of Queenslanders rely on the convenience of Uber Eats everyday. The delivery giant says its 30,000 strong workforce will be decimated by e-bike changes. Most are international tourists who don't have a licence. @annamcgraw_7

Tourists love them, a lot of locals hate them. Soon hiring an ebike could be a lot harder as Lime and Neuron threaten to pull out of Queensland.

Can we ask everyone to record a short video (<1 minute) in which you say who you are, and describe the effect the new legislation will have on your life. Please send a link to the video to info@bq.org.au, or post it on your own socials & tag BQ in the post & use #savelegalebikes

Dozens of riders have hit the streets to protest Premier David Crisafulli’s new restrictions on e-bikes and e-scooters. The protestors took over lanes of traffic on the Story Bridge and claim this will be more common if proposed laws pass. #Ebike #Escooter #Queensland #Protest #Speed

Hundreds of riders turned up to defend legal e-bike use this afternoon. The government’s ridiculous proposals to restrict e-bike use to people who hold a drivers license, with a 10 km/h speed limits on paths has upset many riders across the state

Hey @brisbanecityqld can we please have some path maintenance out here.
There is a lot of grass growing up, over & through the path surfaces.
