I wish I could find the article on Australia and its reputation as a seriously cycling unfriendly nation , in part to attitudes of motorist and helmet laws. Interesting to see in Japan not one instance of animosity , or the fact that many rode with a child on the front and back , all without helmets. I certainly felt safer on the streets of Tokyo than here in my own suburb .
As a bus driver, all I can say is thank God for the CCTV cameras that are mounted both inside and outside of the modern bus. They have supported my side of the argument with motorists on two occasions, when false accusations where made against me. If ever there is a major incident, company management "pull" the hard drive to review what has happened.
I certainly agree with you about the cycling laws. Way to many of them.Quote:

I wish road trains had a 1m rule for Defenders[wink11]
I have nothing but respect for those moving the nation
I wonder how many kids ride to school these days , or the number of bikes gathering dust ? I miss the ability to just hop on , trundle to the shops or just to have a look around , without the need for body and head armour , lights ,rego ,insurances and all the things getting out of the car should be.
Interesting how things are somewhat free and easy in Byron bay re helmets ?
I just had a bit of a scare. I was just about to picture you in Lycra, mate, but thought better of it [biggrin]Quote:
