When is the last time you actually went on the e&n bike path? It's parallel to the railway line, the tracks are still there. Additionally, Victoria has the highest proportion of commuting bike riders in the country thanks to our mild weather a decent bike infrastructure. Every one of those bikes on the path is a car not on the road.

Edit: autocorrect fudged some words.
