Default 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)

Good idea. Ot tattooed on the back of the neck.

Onwards and upwards, brave Oz!

We poor suffering motorists live in hope!!!!!

Anyone who uses the roads must pay insurance. Why not the pestiferous
cyclists.?

Ah, the good-old age of entitlement,

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.

Nope, not the ones that walk on them.

Why not the pestiferous cyclists.?


Because they don't injure people enough to matter.

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.

Cat owners don't.

Further, ban them form streets between 6.00am
& 12.55pm. The roads are safer then too.

See! If cats have to have licence plates, why not cyclists?

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....

Yep, about time the entitled pontificating pricks paid their way on our
roads.

I would probably have more empathy for cyclists if it wasn't for their
compentuous, superior and holier than thou attitude towards other road
users.

**** 'em.

Yes, roll in user pays. no more priviledge for cagers.

Yep, make the cagers scream. 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.
