Long way to ride

So we're to get "new bike paths across the New England". That's a generous bit of infrastructure but will $500,000 be enough for at least 500 km of bike paths? Or do they mean bike paths in the New England?


From the ABC:


Funds pave way for New England bike paths


The Federal Government has announced $500,000 for new bike paths across the New England area as part of its economic stimulus package.

Inverell Shire will get $200,000, Liverpool Plains will get $186,000 and Tamworth Regional Council will get $135,000.

New England independent MP Tony Windsor says the funding comes as a response to requests from local government and community groups.

He says the new bike paths will be useful for the local community.
