push bike rules and laws

[johnlou]

as you might know here in QLD , the powers to be are trying a new law " cars to be @ least 1 mtr away from a push bike .some bikers feel that they are above the law .

There's no logic in bike riders argument whatsoever & you just banging your head against a wall trying to understand why it's acceptable to do the things they do.
I ride a bike everyday so I'm not just a motorist slagging off the cyclists.
It keeps me fit, saves me money but I choose to use the cycle paths-dont wear spandex or shave my legs & get to where I'm going without getting runover because I was hogging a whole lane doing half the speed limit on a one lane road.

If you can't travel at the average speed of the car traffic on the road and you can't/refuse to obey the rules of the road, then get back on the bike path.

As for "undertaking" cars stopped at traffic lights and then taking off and blocking the lane, you deserve every bit of abuse we can think of. Don't forget, "bikers", we pay our road taxes. You don't. They are OUR roads, not yours. Our road taxes also pay to lay your cycle paths. Use them.
