Huge progress for Sydney as a connected cycling city<\/p>\n
Bicycle NSW staff and Board Members were amongst the crowd, catching up with all the familiar faces that make up the wider advocacy community. So many people who helped get this project over the line were there: Bicycle User Group leaders, former and current ministers, mayors and councillors, local residents, community groups, the designers and contractors, and the Transport for NSW project team.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CEO Peter McLean was front and centre of the media line up, taking this moment on the microphone to relay his appreciation for the efforts of Bicycle NSW Members and our community supporters during the four-decade campaign for an accessible ramp for bike riders.<\/p>\n
Away from the cameras, Peter held a bottle of (zero-alcohol) prosecco and – threatening to pop the cork \u2013 said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, it\u2019s officially here! The Harbour Bridge north ramp, it\u2019s absolutely open for business\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you so much to all the Members, advocates, bicycle people that have been advocating for this project for decades. Your work has not gone unseen, so thank you to everyone who has made this day possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
