With no further action or information on the Story Bridge path closures after more than a month, there has been a group ride organised on Saturday 19th April at 9:30am to ride over the bridge. The purpose of the ride is to convey a message to council that while the paths on the bridge are closed, one of the car lanes on the bridge should be closed to traffic and barricaded to allow pedestrians and cyclists to continue using the bridge.

Sudden closure of Story Bridge to cyclists shows ‘car is still king in Brisbane’

This is certainly one to keep an eye on for anyone using the Story Bridge for their commute. The lack of information about what’s going on seems suspicious so let’s hope the closure is just maintenance related and we can keep rolling sooner rather than later.

I’ve belted out a new article in the main blog for those keen for a longer read. It’s about something bikey that I don’t normally cover on this website. Check it out.

Those heading into Bunyaville be aware that track 7 (Steps) is still closed due to pumping of the dam (not sure exactly what that’s about). Most other tracks on the southern side of the Jinker Track appear to be closed too.

What does the 2025 Federal Election mean for cycling and active transport more broadly in Australia? While I can’t be sure what the wash up will be, I reckon increasing funding for active transport to 1.9% of the Federal Land Transport Budget would be a pretty good start and a very modest ask given the benefits provided. That’s what WeRide is recommending in their latest campaign. If you agree, please show your support.

Exploring Bribie Island today.

Sunsets are better on Bribie Island.

The rain has finally cleared and what an afternoon! Time for a quick spin on the Kedron Brook to break the cabin fever.

Still lots of patches of water out there though so be ready to wash the bike.

Get out there before the rain comes back 😉

Time flies when you have a cargo bike. I barely realised it but I’ve had my Yuba Boda Boda for over five years now. See here for the details.

Welcome to the Velo Moda Microfeed. Just thought I’d try something different with this micro blogging format and see how it flies. The main blog is staying as it was but you can expect more frequent postings here on the microfeed. Enjoy!
