get lost. I ride a bike daily and have every right to just like cars and moto's. As long as we follow the law like everyone else there should be no whining. But hey it's human nature to carry on.
What makes u think u have just as much right to use the rd as a car or moto?Hawksam wrote:

LOL i understand where you are coming from BUT pedrestians / every other style of means of point to point style of people DON"T act like pushbike riders,they on an average and a very high one at that "try to make problems" riding two/three abroad and using the whole road to show there orthority of what they "think" they can do.When it comes to the crunch everyone knows ,using theoretic's in my world doesn't work!Jonno wrote:You get the nationwide petition happening and I will sign it....MAXUMIS wrote:Thats why they need to be registerd PS sorry im with Blurr on this.
But where do we draw the line at?
Horses, kids on pushies/skateboards/scooters , prams, electric disability scooters (in qld they are regoed free) shopping trolleys, drunks crossing freeways at 4 am.
I know, instead of microchipping everyone how about we all share the road with the courtesy we expect from others
I like an arguement no one can win

But, those who abide by the rules and are then harassed by car drivers because it caused them to have to slow down for 30 seconds is also part of the issue. I will admit to many mirrors and dents occurring over the years both on pushies and motorbikes. Some people just don't care, some just don't look and then again others flaunt the law due to anonymity. There are issues on both sides, but I think an identifying plate would solve a lot of them.

Heading down Parramatta Rd in peak hour traffic on my old KDX200. This guy in an F100 sees me coming up between the cars, doing around 30km/h, so he moves over to block me. Instead my barkbusters take the mirror clean off and I keep going like nothing has happened. IMHO, it serves him right. He actively tried to screw me over, and instead it bit him in the ass. I wouldnt do it these days on that stretch of road, but some people have it coming.
