Just so happens that this is one of the roads on the GC that he feels cyclists should be banned from cycling on.

I have also tweeted the reporter involved. With bugger all followers there is no way in Hell she could have missed a direct message and tweet, but as yet she's kept her mouth shut. A handy talent for a journo but her timing was off.

No a registered bike would have to be a regcycle, a bycycle is a bike that has gone past you, as opposed to a stolen bike which then becomes a byecycle or a byebyecycle.The 2nd Womble wrote:It's a registered bike.
Anyway in reality there will be no registered bicycles only registered helmets, as that is where the registration plate is to be affixed.
This will also allow a higher fine for not wearing a helmet as this will then constitute unregistered riding. This will also make it damn dangerous to lend your helmet to another rider as this could mean you will cop any fines and demerit points for their law breaking, and it will be difficult to prove you were not wearing it at the time.
It will also make it much more difficult to dodge demerit points by giving some old age pensioner a few dollars for signing a stat dec saying they were wearing the helmet at the time of the offence, particularly if it involves a speeding fine for doing 60 km per hour in a 40 zone.

And we need to stop these people who go around flaunting the law. I flaunted the law today by stopping at red lights and proclaimed it to everyone ostentatiously.kb wrote:I want to know where we can get "breeches of these laws". Sounds natty.

Dear Sir
This photo from your website's page on bicycle riders and proposed changes to Qld road
rules shows a cyclist riding in a bike lane. I think perhaps you are suggesting the
cyclist has no helmet, but it is very difficult to tell as the photo is so tiny.
https://sites.google.com/site/independe ... edirects=0
Regardless of the behaviour of the cyclist, this photo stands as evidence of the
photographer's own unsafe and illegal driving, by using a mobile phone to take photos
whilst driving. Not a good look.
There is much more I could say about your proposed road safety improvements, but I
don't have the time. Suffice to say that for the 1500 or so Australians that are killed
on the roads every year, the most dangerous vehicle is the motor car.
I am thankful your organisation is in Qld. Stay there.

The sad thing is, he's probably not. He's just displaying publicly some of the more base responses that many people have to an 'out group' when that out group bothers them, is seen as inconveniencing them, or is perceived as getting undeserved treatment.nitramluap wrote:This guy's a nutter.
Mabo was screened last night. Some of the responses towards aborigines in Qld (and other parts of Australia) in the 60s-80s were not too different to Mr Nightingale's attitudes to cyclists.

HECKLER
THEY'RE a menace on the road. I think you know who I'm talking about.
Anyone would think they own the road the way they carry on!
All they do is hold up traffic. Have you ever been stuck behind one of them?
They simply ignore the road rules. ''Oh no, they don't apply to us. Red lights, what are they?'' There's a crossing made just for them over there, but nah, they don't care, and anyway it's up to drivers to stay out of their way.
What would happen if you hit one of them? It'd be your fault, even though it's them flouting the law. And you'd have to pay to fix the damage to your car, because they're not insured, you know......

Should forget this plate BS anyway, too easy to fake or borrow.
I suggest Mr Birdbrain recommend this path...
Of course, shaved heads and a ban on wearing helmets would be needed to make it enforceable.

One possible suggestion I have for the chap is to place drop boxes full of numbers at a distance of 100m from either side of his property. Cyclist swould be required to take from and sign for a number when at the 1st box, and then drop the number back at the 2nd box and signing out again. Whilst riding in between boxes they could be required - in accordance with new GC City Council regs - to continuously shout out "23, 23, 23!" for example, while holding the number above their heads.
Similar to Woolworths Deli but with a guest book and alot louder.
