Another depressing State budget by Ian Radbone

This year’s State budget looks even worse than usual for cycling.

The Greenways program which has been so effective in creating safe and

popular commuting routes for cyclists has been axed. That’s almost a $4m loss.

Strange, given that Transport Minister Mulligan has just written to one of our

members advising that Greenways are “a key feature of the next generation

bicycle network across Adelaide”. Some of the Greenways money had been

pinched from Planning’s Open Space funding, which amongst other things

funds shared use paths like the Amy Gillett Bikeway. But there is no money for

the Amy Gillett Bikeway.

The Motor Accident Commission is handing over some money to the

government and $2.5m of this will fund a Pedestrian and Cycling

Improvements Program. Reading the Messenger, this will apparently fund the

bicycle boulevards on Beulah Road and Braund Road. (Though Porter Street in

Unley shows how councils can create a de facto bicycle boulevard with hardly

spending any money.)

Although we couldn’t find it in the budget, we’ve been told that the State Bike

Fund and Cyclist Black Spot Programs will be funded at their usual (low) levels.

Labor’s miserliness for cycling compared with every other mainland state has a

long record. The $1.5m or so provided by the State government for grants to

local government is about the same as it was providing when it was first

elected in 2002. It’s hardly varied and is consistently less than when Di Laidlaw

was Transport Minister.

Compare this with the amounts spent on urban freeways that will create worse

conditions for walking and cycling. The new South Road at Darlington will cost

$620m for 2.3k of freeway. The State Bike Fund and Black Spot Program would

buy 5.5 metres of this.

From the Editor’s Desk by Brian Jenkins

The Frome St Bikeway has proven to be a popular talking point from different

fronts - popularity in its acceptance has varied somewhat! The Bicycle Institute

has supported the Adelaide City Council (ACC) in building the Bikeway.

Ongoing support is important to keep the momentum in planning and building

the stages to come to make a complete link – support by voice and support by

wheels in using what we have now.

We have received some comment on near-incidents at the main intersections,

predominantly with riders and left-turning motorists being unaware of each

other. The Bikeway does not extend across the intersections so on-road sense

is still very much required.

We have recently written to ACC with some thoughts on the Bikeway. They

are monitoring how it is working. Included was a design possibility to improve

safety at the main intersections, comments on wayfinding signage leading to

the Bikeway, and lights sequencing to improve flow.

It is enlightening to see things through the eyes of others. Riding through the

city with company that included a ten-year old recently, the difference in feel

for her between a bike lane and the Bikeway was huge. She felt far more

secure and relaxed riding along the Bikeway.

Work that DPTI are planning to improve safety along Greenhill Rd will have a

benefit with one of the links to the Frome Bikeway. The plan shows right-turn

car movements into and out of Porter St will no longer be possible, allowing a

simpler crossing of Greenhill Rd by bike and foot traffic. We have been

attending the public forums – with some vocal local resident opposition.

We have also received comment on the Amy Gillett path in the Adelaide Hills.

Stage 3 was opened recently. It extends the ride, but stops short of Mt

Torrens. The last funding announcement was for Stage 3 back in March 2012.

On contacting DPTI, Ian Radbone was advised there were no further funding

developments at present. Ian has prepared a letter to the Minister of

Transport and Infrastructure requesting funding to continue the path.

Chair’s Report by Ian Radbone

Welcome to the 214th edition of Pedal Update.

The new committee

I am the new Chair of the Bicycle Institute, taking over from Jeremy Miller.

Jeremy had been the Chair for 6 years. We’re pleased to say that Jeremy is

staying on as Vice-Chair. He is one of the enthusiastic members of our

committee. The others are:

Brian Jenkins (Secretary) Stephen Janes (Treasurer)

Katie Gilfillan Angus Kingston

Fay Patterson Alan Sanderson

Ian Smith

I’ve had only 12 months on the committee myself. I have been impressed with

how well it works, and how keen members are to get involved. It certainly

makes my job easy. In addition to the formal roles, Katie is looking after

membership, Angus the website and social media, Fay provides engineering

expertise, and Alan and Ian are strong on advocacy. Brian is also the Editor of

Pedal Update.

A new era

At our recent AGM, a resolution was passed that membership fees for 2014-15

be set at $0. That is, membership of the Bicycle Institute is now free, at least

for the next financial year. We believe that this will open an exciting new era

for the Bicycle Institute, one in which advocacy for everyday cycling will be

reinvigorated. We want to work with the Bicycle User Groups and Bike SA to

constantly improve the situation for cyclists in South Australia.

We want to help you by taking up issues that need attention. We won’t

guarantee that we will be writing to the Minister about every bollard that

should be removed. We know that we have to choose our issues carefully.

Constant whinging just gets ignored. However, we intend to make sure that

the needs of everyday cyclists are not ignored.

Pedal Update, July 2014

We are looking for help from you, not only in identifying issues, but also in

contributing your talents, providing us with information, helping out with

access to key people etc. We welcome any members to attend our Committee

meetings, which are held at the Conservation Council, 157 Franklin St., from

7pm to 9 pm on the second Wednesday of the month.

We are always looking for material to put in Pedal Update. E-mail

brian@bisa.asn.au or editor@bisa.asn.au . Also the more members we have,

the louder is our voice. Please join.

Cyclists pay their way!

“Cyclists should pay their way!” How often have we heard that? That cyclists

should be registered and pay a registration fee for their use of the roads. Here

are a few points to make in response. We’d welcome more.

1. A 1990s study of Perth’s adult cyclists found that 89% of them also owned a

car. With the car at home, the bike is not occupying road space or damaging

the roads. They paid for the roads, but weren’t imposing the costs.

2. A great deal of cycling is done on quiet local roads that are paid for and

maintained by local councils. The adult cyclists on these roads pay council

rates, either as owners or via their rents, and so pay for the roads they use.

3. There is no such thing as “free parking”. It has to be paid by someone.

“Free parking” at a supermarket is paid for through the goods you buy,

whether you use the parking or not. People who walk or cycle to the

supermarket subsidize those who drive. And if you walk or cycle to Coles or

Woolworths, with their petrol discounts, you are subsidizing drivers twice.

This means cyclists do pay their way. When you consider the health costs of

obesity and the benefits that cycling has in reducing obesity, you'd have to

think that the Treasury should love cyclists!

If you love the freedom and beauty of cycling; are familiar with our magical

disappearing bike lanes; happily pick two wheels over four to get about; carry

what you need by bike whether it be clothes, kids or your latest hard rubbish

find; wonder why the Government would spend $800 million on the South

Road Superway; are curious why spending on cycling is so low in the most

recent state budget; live and ride in a regional town; would like your child to

ride to school (or have parents who hold you back); have friends or family that

ride; have a nicely worn-in Brooks saddle, or are a newbie experiencing the

nervous excitement of being on two wheels for the first time.

2013-14: A Year In Review by Jeremy Miller

For some years now I have been in the Chair of The Bicycle Institute of SA.

With the 2014 AGM I saw a chance to bow out from this position and allow Ian

Radbone to take the leading role. Not that I will be far away, as I continue to

serve on the committee as Vice Chair.

I presented this overview of some of the activities that BISA has been engaged

in over the last year at our recent AGM. I look forward to communicating

further as to the activities and campaigns we run, and the need for a well-

funded integrated approach to build infrastructure that encourages and

promotes bicycle use for transport in SA.

Some of the activities we got behind in the past 12 months included on-going

consultation and planning submissions on the Frome Street Bikeway. We

support this significant piece of infrastructure and were heartened to see the

support at the opening event - now we need to make sure that there is the

political will and funding to see it finished!

We consulted with a stakeholder group and workshop over the Charles Sturt

cycling strategy. Similarly with the Heart Foundation, we were participants in

the workshops they ran to see the word 'health' included in the Planning

Reform for SA - originally given a scant mention as if the built environment

plays no role in the health and active transport options available to people.

We threw our support behind the Velo-City Global conference - right from the

earliest stages of consultation through to attending the conference where both

Angus Kingston and I presented. The Bicycle Institute also continued our

involvement with the Australian Cycling Conference - assisting with

sponsorship. Fay Patterson and I continue as members of the organizing

committee for this event.

For those of you who missed it this year, we hosted a really successful

fundraiser quiz night and silent auction. We are planning to do the same again

as it was a lot of fun! The quiz night was held at the Plympton Community

Centre at 34 Long Street, where the Adelaide Community Bicycle workshop is

located. Recently we had to vacate the room that was being used by the

workshop due to a sudden rising tide of sewage that flooded the centre! We

are fortunate that the West Torrens Council rented a second shipping

container for us to use temporarily. We have been able to relocate operations

to the back of the car-park, and continue to recycle bicycles back into the

community. We are hoping that we will be able to stay in this location, and

will continue to work with the Council to make the workshop an ongoing

proposition.

We have continued to expand our social network presence - primarily through

Facebook and Twitter - to spread the news as to what we are doing and share

stories of interest with our wider community. We continue to assess our

membership base, looking at strategic aims and objectives to grow the voice of

The Bicycle Institute and be an effective advocacy organisation with a focus on

everyday transport cycling.

Lastly, it is with sadness that I note the passing of Graham Day. Graham and

Margaret Day will stay in my mind as an amazing cycling couple. They had an

influence well beyond Adelaide with their travels, club affiliations and amazing

networks of friends and cycling colleagues around the globe. The Bicycle

Institute benefited greatly from their involvement and dedication. Graham will

be fondly remembered and missed by all of us who had the pleasure of

knowing him.

Janette Sadik-Khan by Angus Kingston

Her transformation of New York from gridlock to a walkable and cycle-able city

is legendary. Velo-City guest speaker Janette Sadik-Kahn was New York City’s

Commissioner of Transportation and oversaw its dramatic transformation to a

cycling and pedestrian mecca, and her presentation impressed Bicycle

Institute's Angus Kingston.

‘Our mean streets of New York have had an extreme makeover’, Janette Sadik-

Kahn told the packed session at Velo-City Global on the conference’s opening

day, the same day that her city’s bikeshare scheme celebrated its first birthday.

In one year it’s believed that nine million trips have been taken and 15 million

miles ridden (that’s 16 times around the earth) on NYC share bikes.

Over six years, she showed that when you build it, strike it, paint it and provide

choices for people, they will vote with their feet.

Pedal Update, July 2014

‘Around the world bike lanes are the basic infrastructure of cities,’ she said.

‘We cannot build our way out of congestion. We are not going to get to where

we need to go by triple-decking, and we won’t create healthier cities and we

won’t create safer neighbourhoods with car-centric strategies.’

The choices we make about how to prioritise our streets today will affect

millions of people for generations to come, according to Ms Sadik-Khan. It is

young people that are demanding more transport options - from traditional

public transport to cycling and bike share schemes.

‘They are the ones sparking the shared economy: car share, bike share. Uber

[a controversial car-ridesharing service] is now in 35 cities around the world

and planners need to keep up with these changes and bring new approaches

that adapt to this new reality,’ she said.

Ms Sadik-Kahn stresses streets are cities’ most valuable resource, but what

cities have in common worldwide is that they are not designed for people. It’s

what she calls a city's ‘legacy hardware’. Roads designed to move cars as fast

as possible miss all the other ways that a street is used. Pictures taken of New

York during the last century reveal that what was missing from the gridlock

was people.

‘Somehow all this dysfunction has become a part of the streetscape,’ she said.

‘We’ve become used to a street out of balance.’

The traditional, car-centric view of the city was challenged by her boss, former

New York mayor Michael Bloomberg, with his PlanYC. It was a groundbreaking

effort to address New York City’s long-term challenges, including a population

forecast to reach 9.1 million by 2030, changing climate conditions, an evolving

economy and aging infrastructure.

‘He took the long view that we needed to make course corrections today to

ensure that when we opened our door in 2030, with millions more New

Yorkers, we liked what we saw. The strategies created new choices for people

without a lot of money just by making better choices with our infrastructure.'

The Bicycle Institute, SA

Some of the early changes were simple. After taking a long, hard look at

streets and public spaces, New York made design changes to meet the needs of

users. Unused spaces were transformed over a weekend, becoming

neighbourhood centre-pieces that rewarded some local businesses with a 172

per cent increase in sales.

Ms Sadik-Kahn's best known and biggest project was removing cars from the

‘crossroads of the world’, Times Square, where pedestrians did not fit in.

Today it’s a pedestrian oasis, a place for sitting back in a deckchair or even

public yoga.

Despite all the benefits to New York’s pedestrians and public transport users,

Ms Sadik-Kahn said nothing captured the imagination of New Yorkers like

bikes.

‘Bikes, bike lanes, bike corrals, bike share. In less than seven years we built

more than 400 miles of bike lanes. We really created a true biking backbone,

connecting to the key bridges and destinations where people really wanted to

go,’ she said.

Streets like Ninth Avenue, where you'd ‘bike at your own risk’, were

transformed into a pedestrian and bike protected corridor. If there was room,

buffered bike lanes were used. If streets were too narrow, then high-viz paint

was used. Local artists were invited to decorate the biking areas to create a

more pleasant journey.

However, the bike lanes were controversial. There was a backlash with the

media calling for them to be removed, declaring that they were dangerous and

wouldn’t be used and, bizarrely, that they were a terrorist threat. ‘What if the

man on the bike was a terrorist?’ asked one report, without a shred of irony.

Protests against and opposition to public works that amounted to less than

one per cent of the city budget made up 99 per cent of media coverage of the

bike lane debate. One Brooklyn paper got so worked up they called the

Prospect Park bike lane ‘the most contested slab of concrete outside the Gaza

Strip’. But the overwhelming majority of the community supported bike lanes

and the counter-protesters far outnumbered their opponents.

Pedal Update, July 2014

‘When New Yorkers were asked what

they thought of the lanes, their answer

was they loved it. In the last poll

before Mayor Bloomberg left office, 73

per cent said they supported bike

share ... it’s clear that people were

ahead of the press and ahead of the

politicians.’

Today, New York’s streets work for everyone and are much safer. Ms Sadik-

Khan told Velo-City that space for bikes should be designed into our streets

from the beginning, not carved out after roads have been built.

‘Something as simple as a bike lane can transform a city, and city by city we

can transform the world. It doesn’t need to take decades and it doesn’t need

to take millions. It takes vision, it takes political courage, it takes advocacy, it

takes the passion and energy of everyone.’

Thoughts following Velo-City Global by Angus Kingston

As they say, ‘I guess you had to be there.’

Like with most things, the media jumps on the sensational stories. Searching

for a way of fitting Velo-City Global into the nightly news, the mandatory

helmet laws story was a distraction, as was the impact and or benefits of the

new Frome Street bikeway. Why can't our streets be crowded with cyclists? In

Copenhagen and Austin, Texas, it is.

Community, people and health were the key points that resounded with me.

One of the most impressive concepts shared on day one was the idea that

cities should consider the idea of not how to accommodate cars and fit bikes

and busses in, but how can we move the most people down a road. That is by

public transport, cycling, walking then cars.

Along with former Commissioner of NYC’s Dept of Transportation Jannette

Sadik-Kahn (see main article), the other keynote speaker was Mikael Colville-

Anderson, the Danish-Canadian filmmaker, photographer and urban mobility

expert. I, like some others, found him to be a bit condescending, but the idea

of moving people, not cars, was one of his points. His ideas are sound and

would be great to see in Adelaide, but we are not Copenhagen.

‘Kids who ride to school are better learners’ was something I tweeted and

received a big response. This was repeated at other sessions. Dr Trevor

Shilton from the Heart Foundation expanded by adding that if cycling was a

drug, we’d all be on it. There was a call for other sectors, like health, to share

the message that cycling is good.

Also familiar with New York’s streets transformation was Ethan Kent from

People for Public Spaces - a non-profit planning, design and educational

organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that

build stronger communities. Again, his presentation was not directly about

cycling, but about place. If we can get places working for everyone - that is we

Pedal Update, July 2014

15

can walk in them and community is catered for - then they should be OK for

cycling too, right?

Technology is an area that interests me. On my panel was the creator of a

company called http://www.crowdspot.com.au/about/ an inclusive web-

based tool designed to complement the planning process for public space

improvements. CrowdSpot is also great for research and knowledge sharing

projects - basically crowd-sourced mapping for anything you want such as

blackspots, accident locations, recommendations for repair, or magpies.

Related to mapping and getting kids cycling was Marianne Weinreich CEO of

http://www.vekso.com/, a company that gamifies cycling for kids, or

workplaces (much like Adelaide’s Tour de Work). Via a smart phone app

participants are encouraged to ride and record their distance. For kids the idea

was as a community to ride as far as it was around the world in 80 days with an

animated representation showing the progress.

Finally getting industry involved in advocacy and getting more people cycling

was discussed. I put it to Phil Latz from Bicycling Australia Magazine (and other

trade mags) that local industry and retail were flying a white flag, and they

need to take the fight back to the online retailers. He seemed resigned to it

however, and explained most local shops don't have enough time or resources

to join in on advocacy.

German tourism operators on the other hand seem to have it together. Lesson

from there was 'work together'.

So the conference is over, now what?

How not to cut traffic congestion by Ian Radbone

As we note elsewhere in this edition of Pedal Update, it’s been a tough budget

for cycling, with already miserly amounts cut further. But thanks largely to

Federal largesse, the State government continues to spend big on freeways:

$1.3 billion on the creation of the “non-stop” north-south corridor, $27 million

to help commuters from Mt Barker to access the freeway.

That $27 million is being spent in an effort to overcome the problem created

by the hundreds of millions spent on the South Eastern Freeway in the 1990s:

it encouraged lots of people to live in Mount Barker, choking its access to

Freeway. But it won’t deal with the other problem: choking traffic on Glen

Osmond Road. In fact it will only make it worse. The express bus trip from

Hahndorf to Adelaide now takes longer than it did before the tunnels were

built. This is an example of induced traffic: building more road capacity induces

more people to take to cars, or those already in cars to drive further.

The $630m on upgrading South Road at Darlington is another example. It’s

being spent to cope with the new cars induced by the duplication of the

Southern Expressway. The government is spending that to cut travel times by

a couple minutes – for a while, at least. Soon it will be back, and worse for

those roads that have to cope with traffic coming off the new South Road. The

more bitumen, the more cars come in to fill it up. Take away the bitumen and

car numbers magically reduce.

If you find all this morbidly fascinating, then have a look at What’s Up With

That: Building Bigger Roads Actually Makes Traffic Worse, in Wired Magazine.

It’s by Adam Mann who lives in Los Angeles – “the freeway by the sea” – and

it’s an easy, entertaining explanation of why building more roads is just like

chasing your tail.

But it is worse than useless, because the new roads encourage people to live

further and further out, undermining the government’s own 30 Year Plan to

have more of us living in the inner suburbs.

And it’s bad news for cyclists as more and more cars just make cycling more

unpleasant and dangerous, and “non-stop corridors” mean a four-kilometre

detour to get to the local shops.

Adelaide Community Bicycle Workshop

We’ve experienced some flows and ebbs at the Workshop in recent months.

In the latter months of last year and the early months of this year, we’d been

kept busy with the demand for repaired bikes.

At Easter, the area had a localised sewerage overflow, the Plympton

Community Centre copping the worst of it. The Centre suffered a flood, and

was closed first for cleaning, then redecoration. West Torrens City Council

(WTCC) staff found alternative premises for the community groups who used

the Centre, including for us a second shipping container. The workshop room

in the hall was refurbished for other use, leaving us with no indoor work space.

Further, at the end of May we were told by WTCC staff that we would not be

continuing on there, and they had not found any other suitable place in the

Council area.

The timeframe given was short. Moving the bike workshop is not simple. It

would take several months to identify another site, and complete formalities.

Thus the workshop could not simply re locate: it would have to close, and

tools/parts/equipment be packed for storage. Adelaide has seen 1-2 other

community bicycle workshops do that – the lesson is that once closed, they

seldom re-open. I therefore posted on Adelaide Cyclists to inform the Adelaide

cycling community of these developments.

The posting on AC led to contact with one of the West Torrens elected

Councillors for Plympton, Cr Mark Frances. He very kindly took an interest in

our plight. He took time to visit, and put an urgent motion to Council,

deferring the closure. On 17 June, this was passed unanimously. The

Councillors also remarked favourably on the help the Workshop provides to

the community.

To present to Council and other potentially interested parties, I put together

some information on the Workshop.

The Bicycle Institute, SA

The Workshop is a small volunteer, not-for-profit community organisation

providing low-cost or free repairs, and bikes. The workshop is open to the

public – anyone can use it – though many of its clientele are people on low

income. It meets a need in the community, in a friendly, humane way, and

without discrimination. Since 2011 it has been based at Plympton Community

Centre, courtesy of West Torrens City Council (WTCC), which provided an

indoor room, and space for the shipping container/bike store at the back of the

car park - all free of charge.

In the first year of being open, 2011-12, we recycled 367 bikes. In the last 12

months, we have recycled 445 bikes. I calculated a value on the services we

have provided:

Adelaide Community Bicycle Workshop – value provided to the community

12 months: 1 May 2013 - 30 April 2014

bikes given out, free 426 bikes @ $63/bike $26,460

Time donated by volunteers e.g. helping

people repair own bikes

415 hours @ $30/hour $12,450

Costs of providing tools & equipment &

consumables, for people repairing own

bikes

135 repairs, @ $10 $1,350

Value of goods & services, provided to people in Adelaide

metropolitan area, 2013-14

$40,260

Requests for help have come from: the Adelaide cycling public; a range of

welfare organisations for their clients; refugee communities; Aboriginal

communities and schools; other community organisations e.g. local councils

for help with cycling events; Adelaide Fringe for loan of bikes and bulk scrap

parts for bike art. Currently, most requests for help come from

refugee/asylum seeker communities. The Workshop provides information

about transport issues those communities face, and about the work we do –

but otherwise does not engage in public advocacy.

Pedal Update, July 2014

19

On having to consider what set-up suits us, we came up with the following:

Secure site, public transport within walking distance

Water supply (tap), toilet facilities.

Outdoor space, to park 2 x 20 foot shipping containers: (3 car- parking

spaces or equivalent area).

Access every Saturday 8-2, and occasionally other days in the morning,

afternoon or evening.

Area suitable for public to visit, including families with children.

Space to work on 6 bikes using our own tools/equipment - can be

indoors or outdoors, with indoors preferable.

Safe place to test ride bikes on site.

In particular, the Plympton carpark has been ideal for testing bikes, and

allowing children to ride and play safely.

In summary, the workshop’s long term future is not secure yet - there are no

formal arrangements in place. At some stage there will be discussions with

WTCC, but in the meantime, we operate from the shipping containers, and

work in the car park (weather permitting).

We’re still at 34 Long Street, Plympton, and it is business as usual.

Regular opening is 9am-noon Saturday mornings; other times by arrangement.

Just ride/drive to the car park at the back of the Community Centre - all

welcome!

We are interested in hearing of any potential long-term sites that would be

suitable given our operations.
