Sudden closure of Story Bridge to cyclists shows ‘car is still king in Brisbane’
Bike riders say they were given no notice about shutdown and have not been told when route will reopen, leaving many facing long detours or choosing to drive

More than a month later, at the time of writing, they remain shut without a date of reopening and the council is encouraging pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders to “consider” using another bridge more than 2km away by bike.
What a dick move :(
Rode my bike to work in 2012 in Brisbane. Drivers actively hated me for existing and I was really happy when the job ended because I genuinely feared for my life and was almost driven over during my last week. I was seemingly the only one peddling my bike just for transportation.
That said: I'm not surprised car is king in Brisbane.
