  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.

  The ACT has done a fantastic job in this field. If you’re a commuter you’ll rarely find yourself on a road, and if you do it will most likely have a permanent bike lane (no parked cars in sight)

  Sure, if you’re more of an adventurous cyclist like me and do more advanced rural cycling, you might end up on some roads (eg. when riding to Queanbeyan) but even that route has a bike lane.

  Shame that Adelaide, the “cycling capital” because of the Tour Down Under, has terrible bike infrastructure and timed bike lanes so people are allowed to park in them off-peak.

  Oh, plenty of buses could become train lines that run every 10 - 20 minutes.

  90 or 100km/h limit on towed boats. I think the limit is 90 (at least in south Australia). This way they won’t be handling dangerously, can be imposed with truck speed limits.

  Half of them are driving at 140km/h in a school zone anyway. Agreed, stop limiting them and teach responsibility so they can independently make good choices.
