Most riders appreciate it and give a raised hand as they pass.
As an ex motorcyclist I always do the same; One of my daughters is Blood bike volunteer rider and as such is an advanced driver and blue light trained by the police. She regularly complains about car drivers not only being inconsiderate but outright dangerous at times. She is reluctant to use her blue lights as she reckons so many motorists do not know how to react as they can cause unexpected reactions

Re: Cereal
Yes Victoria we have them here, I did hear that they were used in EU at one time but removed as they are so dangerous.
Smile if from Tassie, of course we will make exceptions for you coming from there LOL.
But here in Victoria we allow push bike to ride on the side walk and they have special lanes on roads.
We must give them a one meter clearance on roads at 60 KPH and 1.5 on faster ones,
They cause more problems than emough.


Happy daze John in Oz.
