#melbourne #cycling PSA. Dickheads on high speed e-mtbs doing wheelies through Oakleigh on #djerringtrail , nearly got taken out head-on ... again

Amused. Walking in local park and as a cyclist rode past a Jack Russell bolted out of the bushes and is missed by about 20cm. Cyclist yells at me "control your dog". Pointed out dog belongs to shouty man 20m away who refuses to leash his dog. Cyclist rides up to shouty man ... who immediately starts shouting to F"ing watch where he's F'ing riding and watch out for his (illegally off leash)F'ing dog.

Psa. Avoid shouty man on #djerringtrail

... and clear. Mucho thanks #SES and the #djerringtrail is passable #BikeTooter

Bugger. #melbourne wind (edited, nfi why but it said "west"). #djerringtrail #BikeTooter

Oh look, the Herald Sun has discovered that the railway project giveth, and the railway project taketh away

Level Crossing Removal built a park on the #DjerringTrail as a minor ad-on to their infrastructure

Suburban Rail Loop are removing it and building a new one on the other side of Clayton road

They've really got the hate on for the #SRL haven't they. Can't spend money on #railways, we need MOAR ROADZ!

Wait until the HS see the multi-million dollar childcare centre built in 2010 that SRL bulldozed at Monash Uni!

And lo, the Murrumbeena Rd #djerringtrail crossing has been painted yella, just like wot spouse told me. Yes, I had not noticed when I rode across yesterday, too busy watching the drivers for any ignoring the traffic lights

#cycling #melbourne

@aeduna yes, definitely unpredictable. Most of the council ones I report get done

Finest exception is the #DjerringTrail street lights over the trail that have been on 24x7 since Sep 2018 in Murrumbeena, City of Glen Eira, Metro & United Energy all insist that its someone else's problem every year or so when I re-report it

Hilarity. Oh I love #snapsendsolve. You take a photo of a massive pile of overnight dumping on the #DjerringTrail and report it. it goes to the council, you have no say in where it goes. The council then emails VicTrack saying oh no, 'tis VicTrack land,, please clean it but CC's you in as well. A few hours later VicTrack emails Metro trains saying Oh no, 'tis leased to Metro, "metro please clean it", but CC's council and you as well

if all goes according to previous reports, two weeks will pass and nothing will be done, and then #SnapSendSolve lets you "prompt" their report. The "prompt" will send off an email to ... you guessed it, the council

@jessta went out that way on Saturday to check out the path & the station. Very impressive look to the station and the decorated poles, of course they're five years younger than along our line, so not so graffitied and faded, but even so they've got better art. Road crossing treatment seems to have learnt a few things from along the #DjerringTrail -- more clearly delineated, and little things like having the beg button on the left where you can reach it, rather than on the far right where the pole happened to be. Wonder if it was LXRA learning, public pressure, or secret northside cycling cabal that got that done?

@unixben level crossing removal authority are who _built_ the #DjerringTrail ... and built a bicycle level crossing Clayton rather than route the path so it didn't need one!

#DjerringTrail where it crosses Murrumbeena rd is a disaster waiting to happen. SO MANY TIMES the light goes orange, goes red, the bike light goes green and as you're riding across someone just drives blindly through the red, eyes on the Neerim road lights at the next intersection

yet again, today, big white SUV straight through between four people walking west and two cyclists heading east

#cycling #melbourne

foof, done. 3hrs of sitting in the sun with tick sheet marking off all users of multi-use trail. #cyclists e-cyclists walkers runners dog-walkers e-scooters and the inevitable "other"

Thumbs up to mobility scooter guy for being "other"

Thumbs down to three cyclists blasting through the give-way sign pedestrian crossing and yelling at the blind woman with guide dog in harness "Watch out! Coming through" ... pause .. "One more!" May you find a magpie each and eternal headwinds

The name's gardening; guerrilla gardening (allegedly).... #djerringtrail #cycling #melbourne #iykyk

In Sep 2018 the #DjerringTrail bike path was opened, and with it a brand new street light about 20m from our bedroom window, shone straight through the curtains at night. About a month later it stopped working (no, not guilty your honour)

Today a workcrew came and fixed the light so presumably, tonight and for all future nights it will shine through our curtains again

Six years. One street light. Hows your backlog doing?
