    where theres a completely seperate bike and pedastrian path

    So, those areas will be unaffected. It’s footpaths and shared paths (Queensland doesn’t actually have a legal legislative difference between the two) that will be affected. That includes everything shown in this video (except the road turned into right at the end). It also includes excellent, wide “bikeways” like the Gateway North Bikeway:

    Photo of a wide concrete pathway with no markings and no vehicles or pedestrians on it. A few metres to the right of the path, separated by a fence and a large ditch, is a motorway with cars.

    its a pretty good feeling when i get to the city faster than the bus by like 10-20 minutes

    I actually first started bike commuting for exactly this reason. I needed to get to the post office before it closed, and it closed earlier than I could get there by bus. Switching to my bike enabled me to pick up my package in time.
