I am overseas... so good excuse but my desire to ride with Tony is not particularly high. (Don’t make me talk about politics).
Not a cheap shot, maybe cheeky... but action is always tough. I have been actively involved in different ways, even critical mass in Sydney many years ago. Knowing what action is effective is hard because some doesn’t pay off.
A few years back I joined a hundred others in Dee Why for a council meeting on cycling and following up a few times after, the responsible staff member was no longer with the council and all cycling activity and progress was being aborted. The good news was that a neighbouring council who I met a few times kept up the energy and the staff are trying hard and have actioned a few problems that were raised.

So I see the AGF are having a public crack at the Bicycle Network's statement on MHL. And the Australian Cycling Alliance is hitting the AGF over their responses.
