When you yell out ‘STOPPING’ even though you are riding in a car. As a passenger. That one gets some funny looks in taxis.

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your comments, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Respect for drivers AND riders from everyone on the road, no matter how many wheels they have, will make for a better experience for all.

Woohoo! So fun to watch the tour. First overall win for an Aussie, right? At least, that’s what Wikipedia says.

Best of luck next year. Can’t wait for TDF 2012 to start.

This is a difficult topic. I don’t think it is correct for cyclists to have a right of way over all motorists, as the roads are intended for and funded by motorists.

I think a new tax for cyclists (a license or whatnot) should be brought in and used to fund improving roads for cyclists.

What a joke. Wake up to yourselves cyclists. If you think you can ride double breasted and take up the full cycling lane AND expect cars to shift over into the adjoining lane just to protect you, WAKE UP TO YOURSELVES!!!!!! So sick of hearing of this crap. Use your common sense, ride single file on busy roads and double file on not so busy roads (ie ride to the conditions). Respect other road users and you may get some respect back. Once had a local biking assn spokesman spruiking this crap and making a song and dance. Came across him at a roundabout and the d**kh**d couldn’t even be bothered to signal his intentions. That was it for me. RESPECT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT !!!!!!

One meter is not enough, I always give as much room as possible and if I can’t move past I wait till I can. Nothing is that important to risk another persons life.
People just have to stop and think what really is at risk

A metre’s gap is the basic minimum, yet all too critical right for all cyclists.
