What is the minimum width for a cycle lane?

First of all you need to allow 1.0 m for the 'cyclist envelope'. The minimum width between the 'cyclist envelope' and passing trucks is then 1 m for 60 km/h, 1.5 m for 70 km/h, 1.5 m for 80 km/h and 2.0 m for 100 km/h.

If you can't fit the logo in then its safe to say it's not right.

Pedestrians and cyclists are the most vulnerable road users. We should design for them first and then design for cars and trucks around them, not the other way around.

Cycle lane design guidance can be found in Austroads Guide to Road Design Part 3: Geometric Design (2021) and Guide to Road Design Part 6A (2017) - available to download for free from Publications | Austroads.

Austroads 'Cycling Aspects of Austroads Guides', 'Australian National Cycling Strategy', 'Low Cost Interventions to Encourage Cycling' and 'Cycling Infrastructure Case Studies' also provide some useful guidance.

Cycling is not just an individual pursuit; it's a communal activity that brings like-minded souls together. Clubs and groups form, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared passion. Conversations flow effortlessly as cyclists pedal side by side, discussing routes, gear, and the art of balancing life's demands. These connections foster a sense of belonging, turning strangers into friends and transforming ordinary rides into memorable escapades.

A rotary tool, often referred to as a rotary multitool or a rotary grinder, is a versatile and compact handheld device that finds its application in a wide range of tasks. Its defining feature is the ability to accommodate various attachments and accessories, making it a multifunctional tool capable of performing tasks ranging from sanding and grinding to cutting and engraving. The rotary tool's small size and lightweight design make it incredibly convenient to handle, allowing for precise control and maneuverability even in tight spaces.
