Riding High on hostility

SEPARATE bike lanes will be built through Belmont’s main shopping strip if Geelong’s council adopts the community’s preferred option for a cycling path on High St

Got to make sure the bike riders are safe. That’s all that matters. Stuff the car drivers who pay out-of-control rego fees. Good thinking council. Craig McMillan

What a joke. Yet there’s roads needing to be fixed before any of this. Aron Flanagan

Pathetic CoGG. I doubt that was the community’s preferred option. Another nail in the coffin for High St shopping. Nick Williams

Bike registration must be more expensive than cars when they are pandering to cyclists. Alison Reid

No one bikes up this hill. Welcome To gridlock and mass parking. Go away council. Theo Nicopoulos

Learn from the mistake made on Malop St. It is unusable for cars now and hardly used by cyclists. Massive waste of money, and a massive inconvenience to everyone. Isaac Kotschner

If the nightmare of Malop St is an example of their work, please don’t. Darren Bear Bath

Haven’t seen one use the Malop street ones yet. Andrew Wedge

Malop St should be a red flag that all of this is a terrible idea. Jade Hynes

Are they going to build a tunnel? Because there is no other way this could be done. Kain Karnis

Start paying road taxes and fees like drivers do. Only then push bike riders can have as many lanes as they want, I suppose. Darren Allthorpe

Oh please. There was a cyclist track built in Belmont Common. Use that. Lisa Jansen

This will be an absolute shemozzle. Good way to deter people from Belmont’s main street. Tamiko Chook

The bikes can go elsewhere, the street is too narrow. Luke Challis
