Blog #7


I holidayed in Brisbane over the weekend and was interested to see the city’s new bike hire system, City Cycle.  It appears helmets, front luggage baskets and chain/lock security come standard with all hire bikes.  The website www.citycycle.com.au indicates there are up to 150 bike rack stations – I came across two of them in the short time I spent wandering between Southbank and the CBD.

I just checked out the user guide for the new Austroads Design Vehicles and Turning Path Templates (2013 edition).  Thank goodness the new version does not seem hugely different from the 2006 version, apart from for 26 metre B-doubles and B-triples.  I am pleased they have sorted out the scaling issues with the PDF versions of the turning templates for ‘old school’ pencil and paper sketchers like me.
