One cyclist on the road, ANY road, is one less land barge, reducing congestion, pollution, accidents and everything else. Any statement to the contrary is so much bulls--- from cretins, usually with a vested interest to boot. -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au |

Scully proves he's an idiot......
"Stomper" wrote in message ... http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politi...1111-i7wf.html I have read that article several times trying to understand Scully's POV. One assertion that Scully makes is that he rejects the notion that cyclist have a "right to be on the road". From my reading, it appears that such a rejection is, in large, based on safety issues related to cycling. I do not see how this is different from safety issues related to horse-drawn carriages, motorbikes, cars, trucks, etc. A safey issue is a safety issue and needs to be addressed, not only at the micro level, but also within the totality of the "big picture". It seems that one of Scully's attempts to address some of cycling safety issues within the "big picture" was to provide the infrastructure required for cyclists and belated though it maybe, kudos to him for having done so. (There you go, Carl me mate - a pat on the back finally ) As pointed out, albeit obliquely some some of the comments, if one was to take the Scully approach, than similar infrastructure should be individually provided for horse drawn carriages, motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks, etc. Even a half-baked, wanna-be Transport Minister like me can see that this is sheer folly and simply unworkable. Perhaps, Scully's own words provide the answer - "Government with its regulatory powers is the only way a safe playing field can be set for all who wish to use our roads." Thus, if we all obey the road rules - she'll be apples, mate |

If you need more evidence, the Evans and Peck site has a white paper
around further extension to Sydney motorways. So not only does the company have a financial interest in keeping bicycles off roads (it makes the motorway cheaper to build) but they have no concept of social good. For example it says that the ability to control vehicle speeds on motorways is described as a negative for motorists. They just don't get it.
