That would be lovely, Gav. In a recent post you made mention of what a lovely place Mario and Heather live in. I live not far from them, in Sassafras. Pop up here on the weekend, observe the behaviour, and report back. I really want to hear from you. Spend a weekend. I'll put you up. Then you can talk about "sharing". You may be surprised.Quote:

I meant sharing from both sides of the coin - there is no 'right' side on this debate. There's selfish drivers and riders, simple. My post was directed at both sides. 😊 I'll happily pop up there though, I like the area - I'll bring my bike... 😁 (it's got 1000cc motor on it, don't worry)Quote:

I don't get why we can't make it work here when so many other countries can. Why are Australians just dead set arseholes to each other all the time? I don't get it.

Not all Australians Dude , just the arseholes that cant get their own way all the time , this type :2up: !! .
Clearly the lead cyclist is not keeping to the side as far as is practical and the and the second one is. If both were keeping right the car would have had no problem keeping a requisite distance.Quote:

Also a little while back the laws were changed to allow them to ride across pedestrian crossings - the issue is they often approach the crossings at speed and drivers can not see them when they check but they are there when crossing the the pedestrian crossing.
