Some pictures are a little blurry in this series. The light was a little low.

The Ivory Street tunnel. This is the approach to the Story Bridge. Apparently there is an off road route that is quicker, but it spits you onto the footpath on the bridge, and where's the fun in that?

I shouldn't be in the left lane here. It's a bit tricky handling the camera and riding at the same time. I usually ride pretty much on the white line. Drivers turning left have no idea and try to overtake otherwise.

On the bridge.

I didn't mean to take this one, but I kinda like it, so I've included it for Art's sake.

The southern end of the bridge. The traffic's usually lighter in the evening, but I can sit on around 50km/h on the slight decline, so lane claiming isn't a problem.

The top of Shafston Avenue.

More traffic.

Climbing Galloway's Hill. There's usually a lot more traffic here. Sometimes I even lane split up the hill. The footpath on the left has bike symbols painted on it. They extend for all of 300m max. and then go back to a regular narrow footpath. Often there are cars parked on it. I'll take the road thakyouverymuchindeed.

It's still better than the footpath.

Back on the Wynnum Road bikelane. Nice and wide, but not really necessary. Despite this, I often see cyclists, and I use the term loosely, using the footpath.

A kindred Spirit.

This is where the bikelane ends. Just as the road gets really narrow and I could use a bit of room too. Well done BCC. This bit is new, it used to be a lot worse.

The start of the 80 zone. There's even less shoulder on this side.

Make that no shoulder.

Could someone tell me why the left lane here is necessary? The first white dash is the first marking delineating this lane. It ends at the traffic lights. There is a dedicated right turn lane, so it's not needed to pass turning traffic. The only purpose I've seen it serve is to allow queue jumpers and hoons to overtake on the left at full speed just as the lights turn green. Why the road designers want to encourage this is beyond me. I've seen this design repeated all over Brisbane.

But it isn't all bad.

Back on my street.

Home, Sweet Home.

The welcoming party (after he's calmed down a bit).

That's all Folks.
