Questions For Cyclists
1. Why is it that so many cyclists (including so-called 'professionals')
refuse to wear fluoro clothing when cycling? There is available a huge range at very reasonable prices. This aspect of cycling, especially on roads, gives important consideration to other road users. More importantly, it is more about cyclist safety and not to sound overly dramatic, self-preservation.
2. Why is it that so many cyclists (including so-called 'professionals') insist on riding on the road when there is a perfectly adequate cycleway or cycle track alongside?
In these instances, it is not surprising that many motorists are anti-cyclists!
3. Why is it that so many cyclists refuse to have a bell fitted to their bike. These are small in size, small in cost and very effective.
Once again consideration for others especially when coming up behind other cyclists or pedestrians on shared pathways.
It is hard to accept that having such an item fitted results in appreciable wind resistance or any other lame excuse!
I have often witnessed cyclists on main highways wearing black or grey clothing which 'beggars belief' if they are at all concerned about their own safety!
Yes, I am a regular cyclist on cycleways whenever available.
Yes, I do wear fluoro clothing (of varying sorts) and yes, I do have a bell!
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
