Not really, when I rode pushies everywhere when I was a kid the speed limit was 35 mph and then later 60 kph. There were no dedicated bike lanes along main roads and there were no bike tracks along linear parks etc. either. Now they are everywhere and we have dedicated this and dedicated that for bikes. On suburban streets it is now 50 kph and in some places even 40 kph. Push bikers have never had it so good in this country imho. I still do not know for the life of me how I survived life in Australia before it all became a nanny state!!!
