terrible news last week of yet another cyclist being killed on perth roads. the greens are trying to fast track legislation through that will give cyclists a little more room on the road. the feedback i have read on some news websites makes it seem like the car drivers are the victims here as they might actually have to slow down and take care. these laws are currently being trialled in queensland and the world hasn’t stopped turning over there. a little consideration from both sides should mean a safer place for all of us on the road. think about your actions as cyclists as there are lots of examples in both camps of people doing stupid things. stay safe.
