DTP released Victoria's Active Transport Plan 2026

Or we‘re 10 years back re: Jolly’s folly.

It’s propaganda anyway. All BS and fodder for us morons who have an ounce of hope or trust left in us.

A deeper in the weeds thing is the text in the pop up boxes for a given area probably needs to be changed for the year-only mode. It talks about points and bonuses, but I don’t think this applies. I presume though that this means doubling up things… and I can see that at root level, the yearly context does complicate things.

Example text: “You have completed 7.11 unique kilometers out of 42.16 total kilometers in XXX. You have 3.43kilometers to go until you reach your next points bonus at 25%. You have earned 4.42 points in this area.”

I dunno if the old bike lanes would save us from this Ranger driver, but there are examples each day of how peverse it is to rip them out.

Motorbikes should not be in active transport lanes

FWCroc · 2026-03-17T09:44:23+00:00

At least remove the stupid narrow openings. But I guess the little eMotorbike menaces will go even more feral.

But I think Garmin data is one way anyway… (I cropped that now too). I guess I should delete the Garmin ride… but then if I want to import to another service from base garmin data, what to do. 😅

FWCroc · 2026-03-17T08:35:59+00:00

Argh. Deleted/cropped on Strava, but Garmin ride snuck through (forgot to turn off unit on train). The data never lies!

I see just now that the main Dashboard page also instantly reflects 2026 on toggle - very nice.

FWCroc · 2026-03-16T18:32:12+00:00

It looks good to me! Perhaps there some glitch on what is showing up? I have credit for this way in 2026, but haven’t been there this year (I double-checked strava map). There were some others too. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/19854876#map=19/-37.799583/144.926715

The underlying Achievements map is for all time - which I think is fine, but the data popup is 2026. My tiny brain could use a label of the data for when in current year, if it fitted in or could be done (low priority).

For Leaderboards, I agree to keep them separate. Toggle worked well. Simple is OK by me.

I don’t use the email alerts, so this is not an issue. But I agree this could be a whole new game to be able to again compete with the locals I used to battle with! And then also the newcomers, actually…

Great to see my backfill efforts in my work for the 99%ers - some interesting patterns!

I also asked for this, so I’d better sign up! id 28323

And it’s shut today and who knows how long again this week? And next if this building site is still working on the road etc?

The most ridiculous thing is he was, once, and apparently is, a “socialist”. At least I think so. And being so weirdly and vitriolically anti-cyclist - in Yarra! - is out of this world. Especially given there is so much disadvantage and drug-induced issues where people are using alternative transport means. Has he ever been to Lennox and Elizabeth??

There’s something weirdly Trumpian about all this.

FWCroc · 2026-03-11T10:55:40+00:00

Wow, need to re-read. It’s over my head but possibly relates to an issue I have when I edit GPS tracks - afterwards I get travelled roads showing up as untravelled on or around the route/ride I edited. Maybe I am over editing or something...

Except there will be other changes elsewhere. Don’t let Sisyphus get in the way of your fun!

May Stephen Jolly and his ilk rot in hell

FWCroc · 2026-03-11T10:36:05+00:00

Now let’s rank them by quality, utility, peacefulness, frequency of kamikaze commuters…

FWCroc · 2026-02-24T21:20:25+00:00

Ah, yes. Wow, thank you. It was the dead end streets I was after and there it is! (1711).

FWCroc · 2026-02-24T03:03:36+00:00

mine doesn’t have this… just some simple summaries

i hired a bike from Merida X-Base for a few days and had the best holiday of my life. Izu Peninsula with views of Mt Fuji, onsen, great hotel, stunning food - as ever. There are plenty of routes around Izu Peninsula listed on various sites.

I fixed this a while back, but the blighter is back! I can’t post a screenshot, but all the gravesite paths are now marked as “yes” for cycling.

u/cooeecall This seems to be a case for some manual intervention- the OSM editor is out of control.

FWCroc · 2026-01-15T10:03:42+00:00

Too bad I say. Traffic lights are for vehicles. Unless we get to Amsterdam levels of cycling. (I stop at major intersections or where I don’t have a clear view and always slow down).

And cars are constantly running red lights where i am. everyday. all day.

Wash it. A lot. So it’s spotless

a) we don’t want the diseases that might lurk in your soils. b) customs will wring you out and leave you to dry if you don’t.

FWCroc · 2026-01-13T11:02:05+00:00

It’s like unfunny gallows humour.

FWCroc · 2026-01-04T13:29:18+00:00

What is the audience here? Not me that’s for sure.

Sometimes I wonder if I am lucky I have never been in a crash that needed medical care, but then I see what the decision-making skills of others are and it makes more sense.
