Sh*t Bike Lanes of Australia – Have Your Say
Poor drainage, St Georges Rd, Northcote, Victoria. Thanks to David Whizzleshilt.
Bike lanes are some of the most valuable and important infrastructure for riders – but not all are marvels of modern engineering. Across urban, suburban, and regional Australia, social feeds are flooded with examples of poorly planned bikeways that leave riders scratching their helmets.
From abrupt dead-ends and poorly placed bollards to streetlights planted right in the middle of the path, it’s clear that not every bike lane gets the thoughtful design it deserves. Confusing signage, blocked pathways, and questionable layouts only add to the frustration.
We asked Bicycle Network members and our social audience to share the most baffling examples, and here we present a fresh selection of the nation’s most Sh*t Bike Lanes.
