I think Cycle ways are a waste of money...I reckon that money would be better spent on improving Public Transport.

In the ACT, cycle ways are across the whole area. When I lived there I would ride my bike from Belconnen to Civic and back again. Apart from being good exercise, it made people get out - especially as the bus service did not always run when you want to go somewhere and with no car the bike was brilliant. I could get from one destination to another in a reasonable time frame in safety without having to worry about traffic issues and the car drivers did not have to try to worry about hitting bike riders due to the extensive bike paths available for commuters in the ACT.
Public transport is always going to be an issue but i believe health and fittness is also very important and bike paths encourage this more than public transport will.
