NSW records fewer cycling injuries in 2016

Well after the controversial introduction of new cycling laws (plus the minimum passing distance), the results of their effect is up and it appears that fewer people are being injured on bikes.

One tiny issue. It's because they've driven cyclists off the roads. Thank you Cadel Evans for noting that Sydney is the worst city for the treatment of cyclists (and comments on any of these articles certainly show it if its any indication), at least it's reassuring to know it doesn't get much worse.

After studying this issue extensively for a university assignment, I became accustomed to the anti-bike flavour for many of the comments on articles, though it is heartening to see almost all the articles posted sympathising with the cycling community.

I, for one, will not forget and will hold the NSW government accountable at the next election
