theage 'safety' tips for RTWD
Have a look at the related video: "Do you ride safely?" http://tinyurl.com/jb9qe I wasn't impressed - I can imagine some people reconsidering riding tomorrow after watching that, with the long list of 'hazards' they mention (including carbon monoxide!), and then followed with lots of chastising and reprimanding of cyclists in general... Hardly a huge encouragement, even if it is to try and get people cycling responsibly, blah blah... -- eddiec |

Hope they have a disclaimer to save them from liability for that last one. -- jazmo |
