Comment on ‘Tragic and unnecessary’: Truck driver didn’t see cyclist hit and killed

Until Australia considers cycling as a legitimate mode of transport, you’ll never see any changes. The average person just sees a person on a bike as a casual cyclist at best and a Lycra wearing wanker at worst; not as a person legitimately using the road to get somewhere.
We’ve actually spent tax dollars sending council members over to Holland to check out the safe bicycle infrastructure there to bring the knowledge back here. Wonder what came out of that trip…

Forget Holland, the most amazing bicycle infrastructure I’ve seen are in Chinese cities. Because bicycles were a dominant form of transport for most of the 20th century their cities were built to cater for this demand and had to have it work.

Obviously weren’t paying much attention and took it as a free holiday. Much like the attention they pay on the roads in their big SUVs.
