I cycle a lot and always wondered about the many bollards and other obstacles we have on bicycle ways. And now I want to do something about it! My friend got a bad accident last week in the Swan Valley and got to the hospital. Three broken front teeth, a huge scar in her chin which had to be stitched up and bruises and cuts all over her face, arms and legs. She had been cycling with a few friends along the West Swan Road and enjoying the area until she bumped into this totally unnecessary metal frame in the middle of the cycle way. And no, there was no wine-tasting involved! Why is this frame there? Is it for people who have managed to cross the road in one piece and needed something to hold on for a moment to get back their breath? Or can anyone explain where it is for??? So I came to the conclusion to start a blog about this issue and try to get as many photos and stories from other cyclists in Perth and surroundings to show council planners and government what can be improved!
