Cut Speed To Let Our Cyclists Live - The Advertiser

[MYCEF3]

Anyone read 2days newspaper??? http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...87-2682,00.html

They are on about cyclists and Bicycle SA want all 50km/h residential roads to be 40km/h and all 60m/h high-capacity roads to be 50km/h, Because of the cyclists and car incidents. They even have their own thing going about where the worst places to ride a bike is due to 'dangerious' vehicles.

How many cyclists u see on the road and they are weiving all around the joint/ turning with out indication or even worse when there is a group of them, and they ride side by side! Where is our Black spot poll about the worst places to drive due to arrogant/d!ckhead cyclists.

From the artical

Senior Sergeant Paul Warren, officer in charge of the Traffic Training and Promotion Section agreed slower speeds gave drivers more time to stop, but he stopped short of supporting the lowered limits.

Sen-Sgt Warren said slowing down could be the difference between a pedestrian or cyclist being "bumped instead of stonkered".

I just find it stupid they want to slow the speed down even more, Soon walking will be faster (watch out they might put a speed limit on walking) Why dont they rego bikes or at least if they are goin to be on a main road they should do a drivers course so they know the rules of the road. Because i came arross this bloke never had his car license and he wonders why he keeps getting tapped or knocked off his bike (why dont they give way) How can THOSE ppl be allowed on the road, iv come arross LOTS of cyclists and they all share the road. Slowing down the speed is goin to sh!t all!

What have u got to say about this ppls

as a regular road cyclist and a fellow SAU, i personally think you shouldnt whip the bull to make him plough harder! Get a new plough! Mike Rann should really spend less money on travelling all over the world and shaking hands with Arnie and spend some money on more bicycle lanes!

its pretty arrogant

the roads were made for cars

car owners and other vehicles pay registration and other fees to keep the roads maintained

and when there ARE speed limits for cars, you see these lycra clad dickheads exceeding said speed limits. I've been overtaken by wankers when doing 50kph in a 50 zone. f**k cyclists, they should stick to linear park or piss off.

-D

[CRoNic...]

They wanted to turn the CBD roads in Adelaide down to 40 or something to copy Melbourne.

It's not bikes that should be banned. It should be scooters! These f**king scooters that do 60 in a 80 zone in the middle of the road are down-right dangerous! Ban those gay f**king scooters.

http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...18-2682,00.html

Thats what Im talkin about, build dedicated trails so they have no cause to whinge. I still see cyclists without helmets riding on roads. Morons... Linear park's bike trail is quite a good example of what could be good, however the cyclists still menace pedestrians. their mentality is that 'if i go off the trail ill get a puncture so I'll make the pedestrians take 1 little step sideways'

Dicks.

Exactly.... if your going to ride 10+ abreast like your in the tour down under on on anzaqs at rush hour. your going to get abused by drivers.. ride in a bike lane and pay attention , not a problem

Yep 4 times yesterday driving around the place.... mostly in packs of 4, 2 abreast but still cmon guys, the bike lane is single file... you are NOT lance armstrong and u never will be so just stick to single file and take advantage of reduced wind resistance

the velodrome was built on the pretense of getting some of these hoon cyclists off the road, but it just hasnt worked ;P

this is the sole reason i was a big f**k-off external gate...... make those lycra wearing poofta's fall off the bike thinking that a f11 fighter jet was about to hit em every time i pass

[DivHunter]

Yeah I saw this posted somewhere and actually took notice of the cyclists as I went home. Two of eight were riding legally the rest were running reds, wrong side of the road, not wearing helmets etc. The best was running a red without a helmet with 6 bags of shopping on one handle, pro.
