Hello Adelaide BUG

The last few I Ride ADL t-shirts are now on sale to sell. Just $15 and Adelaide Cyclists logo tees now $13.

T-shirts

I Bike ADL t-shirts $15 (red and black) - wear them around town even after Mad March when we still bike ADL.

Ou est mon Domestique (where is my domestique) - just $13 (men's large and XL)

Adelaide Cyclists logo tees $13- nothing says Adelaide better than Adelaide printed across your chest

Belgian Up! Eddy Merckx- only $10, last three in large

Also frame stickers for $3 and Cyclist Aware Driver stickers.

I theory the stock numbers are up to date but get in fast and please help me get rid of the boxes under my desk.

Moving this stuff out makes some room for winter kit which I'm investigating. Thanks for your support.

I received the following from an ACC staff member.

Adelaide City Council also has an app that lets you reports on incidents & hazards within Adelaide City Council’s jurisdiction. This can be used to report any issues cyclists are having too.

I've just posted a detailed message on the Bike Black Spot App discussion with news that the App is now live for South Australia.  Yes, there are other reporting Apps, but none with a publicly accessible interactive map.  Reports using this App go to State Transport Minister Conlon and Federal Transport Minister Albanese as well as to Greens Senator Scott Ludlam and to me.  We want to build a case for better cycle funding.  Check it out: www.bikeblackspot.org but if you read my post first, it will all make more sense.

Thanks Gus. I do not have a smart phone so email instead.

Only for the Adelaide city and North Adelaide though - yes, I know that covers enough sins to keep any engineering section busy until retirement, but is there one that does down south here?

I do recall a similar app being reported a while back, but you needed to have your email account set up to use it which I wasn't interested in doing.

Did anyone else know there was a smartphone app (iPhone, Android) for reporting hazards and issues in the city? It's called Report It and it's a worldwide app adaptable for any city that wants to use it.

My letter published in Indaily of 15-Jun-2012 on page 10
What about cyclist safety?
[ANCAP and vehicle safety rating]

On June 12, Indaily published a story titled “Top safety rating for three vehicles”. On the ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) website, I easily found these three vehicles under “crash test results for all vehicles”, with star ratings based on the safety of vehicle occupants. But where are the star ratings for when vehicles hit pedestrians or other vulnerable road users such as cyclists? Concerned car buyers are unable to make an informed decision because the data is not readily found. It’s also a missed opportunity to educate drives to consider the safety of vulnerable road users.
In 2010, I attended a road safety seminar where a Centre for Automotive Safety Research professor said new cars sold in Australia tended to have high star ratings for vehicle occupants, but low star ratings for vulnerable road users. [That] Governments could improve this by purchasing fleet vehicles with high star ratings for pedestrian safety. This would encourage the market to offer such vehicles for sale in Australia. Later, these safer vehicles would flow on to the public through second-hand car sales.
[Members of ANCAP include motoring organisations and governments, listed at http://www.ancap.com.au/members.]
Why haven’t these authorities addressed this oversight of pedestrian and cyclist safety?
