Looked a bit sparse at 8.30; probably improves as we get closer to court time. I had forgotten about the police parking lol. I might try a new spot each day.

So, I've been having discussions with my local councillor about a local pedestrian crossing that raises safety concerns, and they passed on feedback from their engineers about why they can't install a raised priority crossing like this.

Commercialisation of public space is a real issue in Brisbane. The new Star Casino installed a "shared plaza" on the Bicentennial Bikeway - our busiest commuter route - and an event requiring cyclists dismount from 4pm to 11pm.

@space4cyclingbne.bsky.social protested, and got a result. For now.

I’m currently deciding between bike or bus to go to playhouse theatre tonight. I think bus will win, maybe I need to invest in waterproof trousers
