heather replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"Michael, that was my dry sense of humour. I have had driver friends congratulate me on being visible at night. I do believe that the visibility aids have helped, eg when at the last moment a driver stopped from turning left across my path. Of course…"

Lycra probably pushes a few buttons, too, but at least it doesn't scream "I…"
heather replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"Richard, at times I have wondered if my many "be seen visibility aids" actually helps the drivers target me."
Michael Warner replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"I bet Shane regrets standing up for common decency now."
Richard replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"No no no mate. You miss the point. Adelaide motorists are so bad that they keep missing us. Bikelanes provide the drivers with a known victim stream so that they don't have to waste any precious thinking power looking for us."
Richard replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"Only if the wheels are bright blue and it's fixed gear!"
Rob (Chewbacca) replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"I dont understand anything about the crazy white lines in and around Adelaide....the times I travel on a bike never seems to coincide with the times posted on bike lane signs....what the hell does it all mean except that I better look out for that…"
Shane Sody replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"When Afghans, Iraqis and Pakistanis (not to mention Australian servicemen) are being killed and injured daily by improvised explosive devices, including car bombs, I think jokes about explosives and cars are in very poor taste. "
Michael Warner replied to Wayne Cook's discussion BIke Lanes Enforcable Again"Unfortunately still not enforceable by citizens with explosives, I suppose."
