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. Signed Bicyclists

Did the car collide with the rider or rider with the car? If the rider collided why did the driver leave the scene? HL "Police hunting driver after cyclist allegedly hit by car in Sydney's west" Article "The 35-year-old man allegedly collided with a car.." https://t.co/y2sHkpS02p

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. https://t.co/17FRyRszjc

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: https://t.co/VZozPIbHAH

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? @AusCycle @amygillettfdn @BetterSts4AUS @bicycle_network @30kmhEU @20splentyforus

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
The College St cycleway is back – this time for good! Before it was removed eight years ago, College St was one of the city’s most popular bike routes, with over 2,000 cyclists riding it daily. It was devastating to see it torn up, but its return is a sign of how far we've come.

When a motoring appoligist tries to use words to make someone angry in an attempt to derail them in an arguement. Please note, this is not normal, and Alan has lost it.
@AusCycle @_JamesSteward_ Ridiculous. She's not advocating any such thing. She's attacking drivers, not cyclists. Your sort of take is what Trumpsters do!

So, the child reporter opinion writer for @TheAge, @Emily95749407, has just deleted her twitter account in a rage. Just now, about 3 minutes ago She learnt nothing, will play the victum and genuinely be forgotten Not all of us, some will remember her attack on vulnerable people

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.
