Really?On the plus side, the photo ID includes a phone picture of your ID.
In the end that's just a competing risk argument, it's not a fait a completi in and of itself.and while cycling with a helmet is most certainly a good idea, harsher penalties for those who choose not to will also discourage more people from getting on a bike
Like in the example above?Agreed. But also struggle to disagree with the "its a slippery slope" sentiment really being expressed here.
Sigh. Probably... I support mandatory helmet laws, but I also support a public health system that had at its core a recognition that a certain percentage of funds will be spent on idiots...Like the example above?
Thank you four that Brucey.While I get the sentiment and frustration (and in that I empathise), I think not.
A gross and ignorant overstep none the less, maybe read more, check out the facts before acceding to the cheap throw away lines. http://www.cambodiatribunal.org/history/cambodian-history/khmer-rouge-history/
No, no, seriously, I only raised one (alright maybe two) salient points.Thank you four that Brucey.
I've put that very question to the Minister. While I think all this is overkill, I'd be happy if I can get away with carrying a photo of my licence on my phone. I'll likely be carrying the licence or a phone.On the plus side, the photo ID includes a phone picture of your ID.
Adult cyclists have to carry ID. Your kids are fine.But does this mean my kids can be fined for not carrying photo ID when riding?? I'm teaching them to ride on the (quiet) roads now even though they're only 9 & 11.
Yep...last steel dirt jumper would set off red light cameras.Obviously you have never watched them install them - they just get the cutter out, cut out a few squares and a cable is out in, then mastic over - they are indeed an induction loop. If you want to test, go jump up and down on them a few times and see fi they set off . Then go put some cleats on, and lightly brush the cleat straight over a line cut in the road and voila! The lights will change for you.....
So the Khmer was against cycling? Or for cycling?While I get the sentiment and frustration (and in that I empathise), I think not.

Conversely, and unfortunately, on my regular commute, and again more so on the ocassional one into the city, I see many many cyclists who display a complete disregard for those around them, capitalising on the facility afforded them by being on a bike. As a pedestrian I have been knocked over by a cyclists running a red light (Collins and Exhibition sts) and one shooting through as I negotiated a hook turn on my motorbike at the same intersection. Is it the norm, by my observation no, but it there is a significant proportion who eschew the rules for personal gain. Being a minority group doesn't help, or justify any means to an end either.I've almost been knocked off my bike by pedestrians several times, who in all circumstances were in the wrong. Given that lovely example of the Melbourne businessmen dooring a cyclist then walking away before eventually giving a false name and address, it is only a matter of weeks before pedestrians will also be required to carry ID at all times. Right? Yeah, sorry, that's too logical.
Not an ice breaker, but, even if you could afford and stayed within your co-operative, still no group rides allowedSo the Khmer was against cycling? Or for cycling?

Not sure if this would be the case without helmet cam but:

None the less, at this point it remains a no sum gain argument. This thread clearly indicates indignation by cyclists, rightly so, but it also serves to highlight (one side of) the attitudes behind the ongoing gulf between problem and solution.
Maybe it's good and cathartic (for some) to revisit the blood letting. But really, how does it result in the desired change in outcome?

All the traffic lights I need to activate when riding have loops, alloy rims work fine, just ride along the cut line of the loop if you can see it. Sucks when I'm on my xc bike with the carbon rims though..Traffic lights are not set off by steel induction loop, they are set off by weight. So try bunny hopping on the square pad section.
Congratulations!Isn't it...
