HarbourLink

Ever cycled across Sydney Harbour Bridge?
Its a great experience - except for the 5 flights of steps at North Sydney....
So its hats (helmets?) off to Russ Webber (North Shore Bike Group) and North Sydney's Councillor Nick Ritten for their work in advocating for the visionary HarbourLink project! The concept is an elevated 2km shared path at minimal grade (about 3%) extending from the deck level of the Harbour Bridge up to St Leonards Park at Falcon Street. If you were amongst the thousands (yes, thousands) of people who crossed the Bridge by pedalpower on October 17th, Ride to Work Day (when these pics were taken) you might have met them spruiking for the project. Russ tells me he handed out over 800 brochures within an hour



Considering climate change, fuel costs, unfit adults and overweight children - active transport has to be part of our solution doesn't it?
