Fitzroy St bike track repaint - south side

3 Lanes too far!



After the monstrous, Street destroying, car munching, 2 lane bike track was installed on the south side of Fitzroy Street, the bike lane on the north side was left to fade, like most other disused roadworks, as if to disappear...or so we thought!
