Beautiful day for a ride on the reopened Fogarty link of the Fed Trail, as well as the new Brooklyn Fed Trail detour and Kororoit Creek Trail connection.
This will be a very useful link when the rest of the project is completed.

Hey @symal_au, what are you supposed to do when you see red lights flashing at a level crossing?

Friday's #CriticalMass is on our mind!
We're happy to report that @VictoriaPolice have confirmed that they will escort us from Dynon Road onwards.
The weather is also being cooperative, with a cool top of 21
It's gonna be a good ride! 5:30pm from the State Library

BikeWest is pleased to announce that Melbourne's first big #criticalmass of 2024 will be heading to Footscray
Cyclists of the west have put up with a lot of unsafe crap over the past year due to the construction of the West Gate “Tunnel”

This is my favourite video of the year. Maybe of the DECADE.
“It means you spend a lot of money now for a very short-term benefit."
A PERFECT reminder of why wider roads won’t solve congestion, via Australia’s great show “Utopia” on @ABCTV. Please share!
Great news for riders who rely on this crucial link!
News just in! DP World & MUA have reached an agreement at FWC 😀
BikeWest expects @VicRoads & @WestGateTunnel to re-open Footscray Rd SUP ASAP
Last comms from WGTP was "ready to respond to the path re-opening and would just require a pre-opening inspection and a path sweep"
The results of consultation are in and the community wants safety over speed! ❤️
With Maddox Rd set to take more vehicular traffic in 2026 as the Champion Rd level crossing closes, we need to ensure it is safe and accessible to everyone.

Especially on a day when this is the alternative: xitter.cf/VicTraffic/status/1735…
Two left lanes are closed inbound on the West Gate Freeway just after Millers Road due to a collision. Emergency services are directing traffic. Speed reduced to 40km/h. Consider using Geelong Road as an alternative. Allow extra time. #victraffic

The planned upgrade of Maddox Road in Newport will add improved bike facilities to a busy road with a school and multiple sports facilities. ow.ly/z57P50QaTtU
Heads up, Westies!
⚠ Werribee/Williamstown lines: Major delays due to a vehicle hitting the Napier St bridge near Footscray.
• Trains may remain stationary for extended periods at stations or in between stations.
• Select trains may terminate/originate at intermediate stations.
Check information displays.
Listen for announcements.
Have your say! @HobsonsBayCC is proposing a shared bike lane along Maddox Rd north of the level crossing. This area is chock full of homes, schools, kinders, and childcares that would benefit from a safe alternative to driving. participate.hobsonsbay.vic.g…
