Dear Aggressive Drivers,
Unless you hold a badge, you're not the police
Unless you wear a robe, you're not a judge
Unless you are in a dock, you're not a jury
So stop punishing riders, most of the time you are in the wrong.
Remember that rider is a person.

Did the car collide with the rider or rider with the car?
If the rider collided why did the driver leave the scene?

So many footpaths are nearly completely unused in Outer Suburbs across Sydney and Melbourne.
Imagine if you could ride a bike to get your loaf of bread and milk. Or duck down to grab a coffee instead of driving.

**Dear News Media: Stop Labelling People as "Cyclists"**
We are not defined by one thing we do...

Interview number 2 is my take on this debate.
Caller number three was shocked with my admission.

In 2014 I worked for a NFP where we were told over and over again how one brand of car would be safer for cyclists than any other vehicle. Self driving would save us all.
Still hasn't happened, but here is something Musk would hate everyone to see:

Currently cars and trucks in Australia can drive at 50 km/h around schools and kids walking to school.
Watch this video, then re-consider 30 km/h zones around schools and kids.
Who’s with me?

This is why we stopped using Twitter to communicate. @9NewsMelb is using this tweet to trash the cyclist in the court of public opinion, so even if this gets to court - everyone already will have an opinion
Twitter needs to die, not cyclists, not people - we are better than this
A motorist's dash cam has captured the moment a cyclist was flung off his bike after being hit by a BMW on the Princess Highway.
The incident occurred last December in Springvale, with the BMW driver eventually stopping and returning to check on the 20-year-old cyclist. #9News

All I can think is how far Melbourne has fallen behind Sydney in its pursuit for safer cycling. @sallycapp @DanielAndrewsMP – at Victoria, Australia

Police have charged a female driver following a collision which claimed the life of a cyclist in Lilliput yesterday.

Anyone that was travelling along Rutherglen-Springhurst Road around 8am on 27 January is urged to contact Crime Stoppers.
Add to that all forms of personal transport like skateboards and scooters and we have a transport mix.
Fuel over $2/l it is time for the government to support electronic mobility and human-powered transport and abandon oil.
The E-bike is a game changer. Over 50% of car trips are less than 5kms. Let’s change this by making e-bikes more accessible to help the reduction of short car trips. instagram.com/p/Ckl_R2Ar_v_/…
