I’d much prefer these bikes are on the main bridge platform rather than on the pedestrian part. The article makes it sound like they should have stayed off the road.
I think requiring licences would be sensible at this point. For bikes AND ebokes that are using the roads. Sydney is becoming more bike friendly with cycle lanes, but there are lots of awful cyclists who whizz through pedestrian only areas and ignore bike signage and lights.
Part of the problem is that it’s still car centric. Anywhere there is an intersection, cars are given right of way instead of bikes. That’s starting to change with bike turns across traffic being indicated with a box placing them in front of car cross traffic. So, I you are turning left, from a bike lane.on the right, you wait in a box further right. When the lights change, you cross before the cars do. Seems sensible.
Unfortunately, there are lots of parts where a car turning across traffic or bike lanes is prioritized before bikes going straight.
