Ken the Dane replied to stephen's discussion Sir Richard Branson rides a bicycle in adelaide."Yep I do just like I put a helmet on when I go for longer rides. Because there are no inconveniences associated with it. It is there, I don't have to remember it, it doesn't flatten my hair, makes me sweaty, wonder where I am going to do…"
Ken the Dane replied to stephen's discussion Sir Richard Branson rides a bicycle in adelaide."Common sense is what individuals apply when they go riding fast/downhill/longer dstances and put on a helmet by free will. Common sense is also that cars look out for vulnerable road users (moreso than the other way around) and individuals can…"
Ken the Dane replied to Michael Roelink's discussion What's this Zebra crossing thing?"All good observations. And yes it is not realistic to put raised/segreated on all streets from Elizabeth to Noarlunga (buffer zones - grassed areas - is the answer here), but we have to (read should) put them in where large numbers of of people…"
Ken the Dane replied to Michael Roelink's discussion What's this Zebra crossing thing?"Hi Dahondude,
I wish I had money enough to buy you and all other sceptics a ticket to Copenhagen, Amsterdam etc. so you could try it out for yourself. It is hard to explain and is best done by actually trying, and yes it does require some…"
Ken the Dane replied to Michael Roelink's discussion What's this Zebra crossing thing?"Not sure whether to laugh or cry…

Now, if the bike…"

The only way to stop getting injured in traffic is to drive a bigger SUV than your opponent"
Ken the Dane replied to Mark Parnell MLC's discussion Bike Helmets in State Parliament"Thanks Mark, I hope Stephen Yarwood and Michael O’Brien listens carefully why bicycle friendly countries abstain from introducing MHL, when they attend the Velo-City conference in Vienna next month otherwise they can watchthis…"
Ken the Dane replied to stephen's discussion Sir Richard Branson rides a bicycle in adelaide."Yeah I always wear a helmet when I ride around in a fire engine basket suspended 20 metres over the road. Always, but thank god we have MHL so others don't forget"
Ken the Dane replied to Matt Brennan's discussion Sprung!"Yep 'carefree' is when you keep enforcing MHL rather than building proper bicycle infrastructure, educating drivers and legislate against dangerous driving. That's 'carefree' alright"
Ken the Dane replied to Tim's discussion Not Guilty."Couldn't have said it better myself. 'Share the road' DOES NOT WORK. Better bicycle infrastructure, driver education and legislation does. 1 metre distance is just trying to cure symptoms not addressing the root causes.

Notice in your photo that you have young children, plus a cargo bike. There is an AC group for parents with children, also cargo and utility cycling. Cheers, Heather
