An uninterrupted cycle path from Brisbane all the way to the Gold Coast is still years away but the gaps are beginning to be filled.

Cycling was a “sleeper” in this year’s Queensland budget, but pedal power quietly received a $200,000 grant in August for a plan to allow cyclists to ride uninterrupted from Brisbane to the Gold Coast.

“But this requires bike riders to use a mix of service roads with mostly on-road bike lanes, and some sections with no facilities for riders. The planned Coomera Connector - sometimes referred to as the alternative M1 - has a four-metre wide shared path for cyclists and east-west links.The eventual six-lane highway would run between the Logan Motorway and Pacific Motorway interchange in Loganholme and Nerang-Broadbeach Road in Nerang.“When the master plan is complete, all gaps in the network will be identified, and we can get on with the jobs of filling them,” Bailey said.

Man fighting for life in hospital after being crushed by barbell at Brisbane gymParamedics resuscitate and anaesthetise the man before taking him to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital. I am sincerely surprised that this doesn't happen more... Social media is full of short clips of unsafe lifting techniques. I cringe every time. I hope that this young man will be ok. Without full details, just want to reiterate that weights are dangerous. Many try to impress with massive lifts, and choose not to use safety pins and safety bars. Wish this gym member a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹 Probably confused ability with ambition.
