From teh Age: Cyclists honour 'Hell Ride' victim
PiledHigher Wrote: http://tinyurl.com/kg7xx Good balanced article. No egg throwing noted either. Can't help but recall Lotte's sighting of a car sticker: *"Is that true, or is your News Limited?"* I want one for the back of my helmet. Maybe it will frighten off the magpies too. -- cfsmtb |

http://www.theage.com.au/news/nation...817069723.html I liked it until this part We asked everyone to vote on a code of conduct, to respect other roads users and to be be ambassadors for this great sport," Ms Jacobsen told theage.com.au. This 'code of conduct' would be to obey the road rules? And this required a vote? Theo |

You know, voting to agree not to break those rules that they rationalise away. Yacking on the mobile and speeding - stuff that's done _all_ the time. I think cyclists who break the law are no different to motorists who break the law. Both groups break the laws that they can generally get away with. Speeding and talking on the phone are generally low risk (from the perspective of getting caught) laws to break as a motorist. As a cyclist, shooting reds it also "low risk". Motorists are not any more lawful than anyone else - they just have a higher risk of being caught. If they didn't have rego plates, I suspect you'd seem similar levels of law breaking to that of cyclists. -- ..dt |

I still have a sticker from the 90's: "Is that the truth or did you read it in the Herald Sun?" |

A cyclist who ignores reds is a motorist who ignores reds. Dave |
