The Tele will probably rally its readers to protest against cyclists..
Good luck Melbournians. We are with you in spirit. You may need to support us NSW people in the future too.

Good piece by Jan Garrard today. Essentially, spending on bike infrastructure makes sense. Cutting that spending is stupid. Meanwhile, back at the RACV lunch for subsidised car makers and road builders and Ministers ...

Good crowd given the weather; at least it blocked most of the intersection for a while. Good speech by HB, so let's hope it works. No cowbells though.
Do I look for a bloke with a wire cage around his lower face?
