Where, with due care and attention from all road and pathway users, they will continue to add to the mix of transport modes available for commuting and recreation alike - a mix that must be encouraged to keep Brisbane moving... <br /><br />A greater deterrent to mode shift is possibly an ongoing insistence of advocates to focus only on the challenges still ahead than the successes..? Brisbane is getting a public bike hire scheme! <br /><br />Cool! <br /><br />Much like any 'new' form of public transport, they will take some getting used to but, if Brisbane is to be the global leader that is oft touted, Brisbane must have the advantage of time to learn to embrace them... Brisbane's CityCats similarly took their time... so too will CityCycle... but what a time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
