00:00The sound of Sydney's new cycleway.
00:06Now open!
00:09We started our separated cycle network back in 2008 and we've built sections.
00:14And we're at a very exciting stage now because we're connecting up all those sections.
00:18You can't build it all at once.
00:20But not everyone is celebrating.
00:23Our concern is with the impact this is going to have on older people and people with disabilities.
00:29Mr Waterhouse is calling for risk mitigation measures.
00:34We're not opposed to the cycleways themselves as long as there are appropriate measures
00:39where people have to cross them to reach buses.
00:42It's now up to the government to decide on whether it'll fund the next proposed section
00:47of the Oxford Street cycleway, which will go from Taylor Square to Centennial Park.
00:53That'll enable all the people from the eastern suburbs to be able to cycle into the CBD too.
00:58But Paddington residents don't think it should be given a green light.
01:02We lose right hand turns, five right hand turns go.
01:06We have less bus stops.
01:08We're talking about the busiest bus route in Sydney, the 333.
01:13Overseas in London, investment in cycling infrastructure has seen pushbikes account for 56% of all peak hour traffic.
01:22But it hasn't come without an added danger.
01:25The experience in London has been that people have been hit and people are basically scared.
01:31We have had to contend with introducing a new form of transport in a city that had been dependent on cars with most people living in suburbia.
01:40That's changing now.
01:42Pedaling ahead, but not everyone's, along for the ride.
01:46There are two big picture Là, you've turned on to the bicycle to make a park but just come in a place for a ride.
01:54Today we have some reds.
01:55March 31st metro trip, we've seized on the transit of 190 cabs.
01:59Let's go стол, we've urged people to find the mountains.
02:00A tree here is some young man.
02:01Use no questions.
02:02Main stain on the road.
02:04Can't escape a road trip.
02:06There might be a place, there is fancy rain.
