A media scrum. What's going on? Must be someone important.
Who is that little guy?

Listening to Paris Deputy Mayor @C_Najdovski explain how they’ve put in 50kms of COVID-19 wide, continuous, protected bike lanes so far. The result: 130% to 150% increase in bikes, 70% fall in public transport use, car use the same - we need this in Aust before we go back to work

A striking 80% of Dutch youth (age 12-17) cycle to places (school, park, shop, friend’s) at least three days per week.
This does not differ between males and females; each of whom spend an average of 150 minutes cycling per week.

.@DrBenBeck is talking about bike crashes. 40 per cent of crashes are single bicycle only (didn't crash into another vehicle). However, 20 per cent of these still involved a vehicle, perhaps dodging a car door or unpredictable driving.

Adelaide is flat.
Great weather, nearly always mild & dry.
3/4 of 4 million daily trips < 6km long.
Cycling mode share?
1% and falling.
Why?
Nearly all roads & streets are prioritised for 50k+ motoring.
Even a repeal of &%#! helmet law would probably only double the cycling rate.

Sydney Muslim Cyclists - raised more than $50,000 for our farmers in today’s Drought Relief Ride. 3 groups of riders cycled to Brighton-Le-Sands from Belmore Sports Ground and return.
Sadly, you won’t see great stories like this on mainstream media. Chapeau legends!

One in 25 Adelaide drivers uses a mobile phone when driving. (scroll down for figures for other capitals) xitter.gq/DarrenDavis10/status/1…
1 in 30 motorists caught using cell phones (where there is very little enforcement) while driving on a 100km/h stretch of #Auckland’s Southern Motorway at E Tāmaki Rd (yet the moral panic is more often about ‘distracted’ pedestrians at <6km/h). nzh.tw/12068078

Great idea from @AGFchairman & co: Recognise hours spent riding bikes in road environment toward learner's 120 log book hrs (up to 20hrs)... xitter.gq/MichaelOReilly_/status…
