An excellent path in North Geelong along the rail line is a model for future path development in Geelong… It’s a great example of how shared paths should look – wide, seperated, smooth and shaded. This needs to be extended from the city (as we’ve dreamt about before) to onto Lara.

Super Sunday is this Sunday November 10th. What is Super Sunday? It is the coordinated counting of recreational trail users at strategic locations. Volunteers will be counting trail/path users between 9am and 1pm this Sunday, with Bicycle Network Victoria managing the event across many locations in 6 different states and territories.

The northern suburbs of Geelong are a contradiction… The area is blessed with plenty of space, wide roads and nature strips but seriously lack basic infrastructure like bike lanes, footpaths, treed areas and respectable park playgrounds…. Today I rode around the Geelong bay trail, past retiring industrial areas, near elite grammer schooled kids and back…

A number of improvements have recently been completed on the Bellarine Rail Trail by the City of Greater Geelong.
after our meeting with Vicroads the temporary path promised has been delivered. This new path will allow cyclists who wish to keep off the roads to access the Waurn Ponds Creek Trail from the Barwon River Trail with a minimum of on road riding.
Site preparation works have commenced for this new bridge; at meetings with Vic Roads we have been advised that the paths around the river will remain open throughout construction, if works impinge upon the path a temporary path must be laid around the works.
The new plan from the City of Greater Geelong for the Northern Section of the Swanston Street Bike Link is now available for community feedback. The plan, which covers the section of Swanston Street North from McKillop Street, features almost exclusively one-way bike paths adjacent to existing footpaths.
Work has started on creating a shared path on the Moorabool Street bridge. This will be achieved by widening the footbath on the Western side of the bridge. It is hoped that this will provide a useful link between the shared trails on both sides of the Barwon River.
