Can anyone find anywhere in this, how many KM of cycle path they think can be built with $158 million?
What are the chances of getting some of that to build off road trails?
of those painted bikes on the roads around Mosman and the rest??????? well thats how much they cost dont they?
2.22 Fund local recreational cycling facilities through NSW Sport & Recreation Facility Grants programs (continue and extend existing activities - may have some scope)
2.23 Promote cycle access to and through designated NSW National Parks and Crown reserves, including the use of sustainable mountain bike tracks (moderate priority - action within two years - ie after the election)
Actually, someone has just mentioned there is stuff in this plan to get a little optimistic about...

So basically - the NSW bike plan is agreeing with what most MTB riders in NSW want, and what we have been asking for, for many years: "sustainable mountain bike tracks" in National Parks.
Looking at the priorities:

2.23 was given moderate priority - implement or start within 2 years.
5.1 was given highest priority - implement or start within 12 months.
5.9 was given moderate priority - implement or start within 2 years.
As usual... don't hold your breath
