Catching up on the Elizabeth Street bike lanes and other musings

Monday, 16 March 2026 - 10:00am to 10:30am
A bearded man sits at the desk with a microphone to one side of him. He is smiling and behind him the wall is covered in Subscribathon material.

Val and Faith kick off the show with their bike moments and collectively appreciate the recent shift to autumn. 

We chat about the recent death of two teenagers in Queensland on an 'e-bike', although its hard to know much about the circumstances at this point. 

We also remind listeners that the Elizabeth Street protected bike lanes are being ripped up this morning ahead of the re-sheeting of the road and the rebuilding of the lanes in a narrower, less safe configuration. When will the State Government take responsibility for Strategic Cycling Corridors? Not only are they langusihing from a lack of funding but with no one willing to take responsibility for the quality they are built to poor outcomes like that we're seeing on Elizabeth Street undermine local and state aspirations to active transport. Read about what you can do here.

Val shares another favourite podcast episode about the history of 15 minute cities and we'll share the link here shortly!
