Reopen the Glebe Island Bridge
Sign our petition: Restore and reopen the Glebe Island Bridge
www.kobishetty.org.au
Aw yeah, petition to re-open the Glebe Island Bridge for walking and cycling! I think this is a huge opportunity to ease traffic and encourage active transport around the awful WestConnex/Rozelle interchange. It's just bumper to bumper every day at rush hour.

Really in awe of the brave protestors at Rising Tide over the weekend. A powerful message to our government and the world that most Australians want more action on climate change.
Super proud of my new Greens buddies who attended, some of whom were arrested (and released) over the weekend.

Had a great day at the Balmain Festival yesterday, I volunteered on the CCBR booth to talk to people about sustainable transport. So much interest for the Glebe Island Bridge we ran out of petition paper!
Also a great example of reclaiming street space for people, even if temporarily.

Hills don’t stop people riding, neither the weather. E-bikes & good clothing help.

Posts about urban biking in Dutch cities are routinely replied to with comments like “well, they have the big advantage of being relatively flat.”
The Dutch also have the big advantage of not constantly making excuses about why they can’t make clearly smarter city-making decisions. #Leadership

Customers have been swarming Chinese Noodle House in Haymarket, famed for its hand-pulled noodles and and cafeteria-style outdoor seating, to say farewell ahead of the cult favourite’s closure on 12 December.
The landlords, who ran the eatery until 2016, plan to move into the existing venue on Thomas Street with a new restaurant – called Chinese Noodle House. Continue reading...

Super nice that this Wednesday is World Sustainable Transport Day, but it's also the 1st birthday of the Balmain Bike Bus 🥳
I've been told by a couple of attendees that this has inspired them to choose bike over car more often than they used to. Small wins, but still important I think.

Woah, super cool to see a bunch of our games front and centre when opening Steam today.
I know PlayStation is a large company, but the Nixxes port teams are not huge, so it's still really cool to see our titles appear so prominently like this.

ok wtf, my phone is one of the affected ones and apparently this was caused by the 3G shut down. Which happened in November last year. So.. I have been without the ability to call 000 for an entire year?!
Surely more than one person died in that time because of this..

Had all my three newbies from Ride 2 Work day last month, all back again on the bike bus today! Makes me happy 😊
There were so many weeks over the last year where it was just me cycling to work alone after waiting and no one showing up. I guess stubborn persistence finally paid off.

5 pedestrians (and an unborn child) were killed by motor vehicles across NSW just in the last week. Now is the time to lower speeds and claw our public safety back again.

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

On Thursday I attended the reading of a bill to reduce speed limits in residential areas to 30km/h. Cue the online outrage about how this will ruin lives.
Not a single day later a pedestrian is killed in a shopping area where the speed limit is 60km/h. And commenters call it a "tragic accident"

Well done to @kobishettymp.bsky.social who just did a phenomenal reading for her bill to introduce a 30km/h limit on local, residential streets across NSW. Hopefully we can catch up with the international standards for safe streets, and allow people to choose sustainable transport options 💚

The existing law in NSW is more than adequate to have avoided the images of Nazis outside state parliament over the weekend.
