Cycling on Johnston Street Johnston Street is flagged by the state government as a Strategic Cycling Corridor in their Principal Bicycle Network, yet it is currently unsafe with no dedicated bike lanes, multiple speed limits that exceed other streets in the area, bus usage in the same lanes, and a high risk of dooring by cars. As a Fitzroy/Collingwood local or community member, I am interested in incorporating your experience cycling on this street into my journalistic story on the topic. This survey is purely for educational purposes and will be used to create content for a University of Melbourne Masters of Journalism assignment. As part of completing this form, you are consenting to having your answers used within this assignment, but all private information such as name and contact information will be kept anonymous unless stated by you that I am permitted to reference your name and story in the article.

Why did I see some of the e-scooters and e-bikes parked and taking up space in existing bike racks? This was a deployment error that has now been resolved. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our trial features a parking model which is unique to Darebin and requires every e-scooter trip to begin and end in a designated parking bay. Users that don’t end their ride in a designated parking location will continue to be charged until they park the vehicle in a bay. We’ve carefully chosen the locations of these bays with safety and accessibility for other footpath and road users in mind. Parking bays are installed on-road wherever possible, helping to keep footpaths clear and discouraging footpath riding by allowing trips to start on the road. There will be no loss of on-street car parking. E-bikes can be parked outside of these designated locations within the trial area, but they must not obstruct footpaths and access and must be left in an upright position. This is enforced through an end-of-trip auditing feature on the smartphone app. If you see an e-scooter or e-bike parked where it shouldn’t be, raise it directly with Lime by scanning the QR code on the vehicle or contacting Lime on 1800 861 305 or support-au@li.me

Pleasant ride to #Melbourne CBD via the Main Yarra Trail. Back to wearing a tshirt instead of the jacket. Weather was pleasant - a little cool, but very comfortable. Some sports riders were out on a training session, but they were too fast for me to keep up.
