Police make court bid to stop cycling protesters blocking Brisbane’s Story Bridge

I’ve been out for the count with some kind of lurgy for past few days so my bum hasn’t made contact with a bike saddle and nor have I caught up much on what’s been happening in the Brisbane cyclosphere in that time.

But I did catch the above story regarding developments in the Story Bridge saga and the picture ain’t pretty. In short, it seems BCC won’t budge on allowing one of the bridge’s lanes to be temporarily converted into a bike lane and are now seeking a magistrate’s ruling on disallowing any further protests to try and make the lane conversion happen. That and some pretty desperate sounding name-calling on BCC’s part.

As one of the earlier stories on this said, looks like car is unfortunately still king in this town. It’s just not good enough. Stay tuned.
