Good speech, cheerful crowd considering the weather. I was there on foot due to a puncture earlier and in my office wear, but a least I was wearing my yellow spray jacket
Edit: Some pics - I was there pretty early, so the crowd hadn't built up yet..

Rule 5'd. Worth it.
Great turnout in the conditions, best HB speech ever... I'll see if any of the phone pics came out later, I'm off to bed.

...whatever the road rules, self-preservation is the absolute priority for a cyclist when mixing it with motorised traffic.

Rode in with the GLW and the folk from Darebin BUG. Good turnout under the circumstances

WHAT A PITY THE GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES AND LEADERS HAVE NOT GOT THE GUTS TO FACE THE FAMILIES OF INJURED OR DECEASED CYCLISTS AND TELL THEM TO THEIR FACE THAT THEY DO NOT INTEND TO SUPPLY FUNDING TO MAKE THE ROADS SAFER FOR USERS OTHER THAN MOTOR CARS. IF THIS IS THE RESPECT SHOWN TO CYCLISTS BY THIS GOVERNMENT THEN I SINCERELY HOPE THAT THEY ARE UNEMPLOYED AT THE NEXT ELECTION.jules21 wrote:Zero-bike budget rally, Victorian Parliament steps, 7.30-8.30am, Thursday 21 June.
Thousands of Victorian bike riders will jam the steps of Parliament later this month to condemn the Baillieu Government’s decision to cut funding for bike infrastructure to zero.
