Talkback one eyed lunatics.
I do not know If any one has heard 2UE afternoon talkback, think his
name is Justin smith,on the subject of bicycle rider registration, he seems manic on the subject and howls down anyone who has an opposite view to his, he seems to have the opinion that it is a foregone conclusion that we will have rider registration by the end of the year. He seems to have Duncan Gay (roads minister)on his side. He also has the opinion that bicycle ordinations should not be allowed representation at the soon to be,round table group on the subject with Duncan Gay because "they are going to say no to everything". His idea is registration of rider not bicycle with mandated fluoro jackets with number on the back. We would then be the only place in the world with it. It would almost mean the death knell for cycle riding. He has a bee in his bonnet about insurance associated with license,which would in my opinion eventually make the license fee expensive which is the case of all mandated insurance since the beginning of time. He would be better served to get government paid cover for the minute cases of third party claims against bicycles.(every so often a bicycle knocks some one down injuring and even killing where the victim has no cover and can not identify the culprit) It is not worth registration just for revenge against the rider,it is better to cover the third party through special govt.paid insurance and would be much cheaper than an other licensing monolith. It would mean that I would never ride again as it is rare that I do and would not be worth it (I sometimes take train with bicycle to the city or places like Gosford for use at the other end) |

Long long lonnnnnnnngg overdue! He seems to have Duncan Gay (roads minister)on his side.

His idea is registration of rider not bicycle with mandated fluoro jackets with number on the back. Good idea. Ot tattooed on the back of the neck. We would then be the only place in the world with it. Onwards and upwards, brave Oz! It would almost mean the death knell for cycle riding. We poor suffering motorists live in hope!!!!! He has a bee in his bonnet about insurance associated with license,which would in my opinion eventually make the license fee expensive which is the case of all mandated insurance since the beginning of time. Anyone who uses the roads must pay insurance. Why not the pestiferous cyclists.? He would be better served to get government paid cover for the minute cases of third party claims against bicycles. (every so often a bicycle knocks some one down injuring and even killing where the victim has no cover and can not identify the culprit) Ah, the good-old age of entitlement, It is not worth registration just for revenge against the rider,it is better to cover the third party through special govt.paid insurance and would be much cheaper than an other licensing monolith. It would mean that I would never ride again as it is rare that I do and would not be worth it (I sometimes take train with bicycle to the city or places like Gosford for use at the other end) We ratepayers wonder who's paying for the bicycle strips with the pretty green anti-slip coatings. And why the endless road narrowings to accomodate these traffic pests, and the bike tracks, and all the attendant maintenance. Yes the cyclists should pay plenty for their licences just as dog and cat owners do. Further, ban them form streets between 6.00am & 12.55pm. The roads are safer then too. |

None of ours have anything like that. There are a few dedicated concrete bike tracks. And why the endless road narrowings to accomodate these traffic pests, We don't have any of those. and the bike tracks, and all the attendant maintenance. There is no maintenance of the bike tracks. Yes the cyclists should pay plenty for their licences just as dog and cat owners do. Cat owners don't. Further, ban them form streets between 6.00am & 12.55pm. The roads are safer then too. |

A while back one cold winter a friend of mine was getting petrol for his motorcycle. He fronted up to the counter and the person there demanded he take his fullface helmet off, pointing to the sign that said he must do so. He shrugged and took it off. Revealing the full balaclava underneath.... Zebee |

Snub out their "entitlement" to subsidised roads. Make em really pay for the true cost of their roads. |

To add insult to injury some of them, indeed most of them, wear tight obscene lycra tights with which they moon we stressed-out overly-patient motorists. I always pray for rain and sleet. And a strong head wind. |
