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.

@Boenau That should be justifiable mirror removel at least

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

@misguidedjenni Nope, agreed, we need advocates like you these days to stay - well dry and safe

Legal age to drive various modes of transportation in Australia.

[Cycle @AusCycle]

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.

@parislord retweet it around as much as possible, maybe we will get a few journos to see it

**Dear News Media: Stop Labelling People as "Cyclists"**

We are not defined by one thing we do...

@mrbaptista @QuarioQ @AmericanFietser We found in research, people always talk of things like fridges etc, but never bring them home in their car anyway. It appears that large items are an excuse to why it can't happen, even though it doesn't to most car owners.
We have seen a huge growth in cargo e-bikes.

Interview number 2 is my take on this debate.

Caller number three was shocked with my admission.

@LotsHurts I keep saying this, and I'll say it again.

Our 3rd party insurance only works when people drive, so courts, government and police want you on the road no matter how bad you drive, and in a car.

Otherwise TAC and CTP would be bankrupted

[Cycle @AusCycle]

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:

@theheraldsun Great use of a photo that demonstrates the lack of intelligence of the Hun... You must leave the bike lane to turn right at the bottom of that hill - you dumb trolls.

Do a real story, how all the bike lanes allow for smooth traffic movement in the CBD

NEW: Can we stop the “arms race” of bigger & bigger vehicles in cities, & press pause on the huge growth of SUVs & pick-up trucks? My new PODCAST interview with @RadioNational @abcnews “Blueprint For Living,” Australia’s national broadcaster. Starts 17:45. https://t.co/66vzja4qHi

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

[9News Melbourne @9NewsMelb]

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

[Cycle @AusCycle]

@DavidJay_AU @9NewsMelb Failing at so many of your interests here, but first, pay attention to everyone. Cyclist left lane is correct, driver not in turning lane is wrong. Please go get a new license test.

[Cycle @AusCycle]

@ValueFocus @canetoad62 @RobBendigo @9NewsMelb @bicycle_network @VictoriaPolice @RACV_Official @amygillettfdn From my experience dealing with social media and bike crashes, we have found the driver or a friend of the driver. Pretty sure it would come out in court @canetoad62 has a connection.

Advocacy is not free, someone somewhere has to pay.

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