Interesting, I was watching this video just last night. There is quite a bit of chatter about motorized bicycles. One of the older chaps up here (an ex-pro rider in fact) is even getting one since he just can't match the pace of other riders up the hills.
Even a bit of background Land Rover action to keep the non-cyclists interested...

New laws being pushed now for all cars to be parked on the footpath and nature strip as they are in cyclists way. :twisted:
Cyclist dead after hitting parked ute
78 year old rider, no signs of trauma, was cycling uphill when he collided with the car. Sounds more like a heart attack and the collision was just consequential.Quote:

Interesting concept.Quote:

I'd love to see that law brought in.
While I have more patience than most when it comes to cyclists, if they run into any stationary object, then, well, tough **** for them...
who owns the carpark?Quote:
