Oh I'm mortally wounded
BTW I didn't cross this to aus.cars
Hope you had fun disrupting peak hour traffic for a protest you guys
didn't even know what it was about.
your idiot spokesman couldn't even give a straight answer in a radio interview.

If they think it's a better way, pay like the rest of us or get out of the
fscking way.
Should've run over them all as far as this stupid ill-informed protest goes.

if 72 is as fast as you've ever been on a push bike, you need to ride a bit
more often, or stop relying on gravity....

Yeah, you're right... They're not a "regular" organisation... they're a
bloody terrorist organisation....

Did you keep your fridge magnet? Perhaps it's time you started
ranting to the phone operators on the terrorism hotline.. :-)

I bet you are the twit who was interviewed on 3aw and would/could not
give one straight answer.
It shows by the intelligence of your posts that you are of the one mindset.
Face it you will not get any respect by your deeds regardless of what
you think or what others tell you.

Nope, though one of the TV stations did ask me if I wanted to be
interviewed that night, but I declined..

perhaps if they followed the road rules... ? is the incidence of
red-colour-blindness esepcially prevalent among cyclists? is there some
obscure piece of legislation that requires pedestrians to give way to
cyclists on pedestrian crossings?

There are plenty of situations where cyclists and pedestrians can
legally mix, shared paths, underage cyclists, adults escorting
underage cyclists..

OK, so where should cyclists be if not on the road or on the paths?

That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about cyclists' almost
complete indifference to the road rules, including red lights. They seem to
think the rules don't apply to them.

What an utterly mindless post.. I ride a pushbike, and I obey the
road rules.. What's your problem with "cyclists'"?
Meanwhile, I see car drivers every minute on the road not indicating,
ignoring lane markings, ignoring bike lanes and driving down them,
speeding, running orange lights and the occasional red light, stopping
on tram tracks, failing to give way to trams or tram passengers,
failing to give way to buses pulling out of bus stops, improper use of
their safety devices (horns), all of which are illegal, and are
probably cumulatively more prevalent than the usual offences you see
committed by cyclists.. Of course, they're committed in cars, so
other car drivers are blind to them, whereas they're certainly not
blind to offences committed by vehicles other than cars..
How many car drivers here can say they have never illegally used their
horn as a stress relief device, or failed to give way to a bus pulling
out of a bus stop, both of which are fineable offences?

How many cyclists have completely disregarded red lights? How many have
failed to stop for pedestrians on crossings? How many cyclists fail to
signal an intention to turn?
If the roads are there for all, so are the road rules.
