Interesting UK police blog on road safety
After many close calls and recently being hit by a car while riding I have been reading what I can do to limit the risk.

I didn't read it in detail but the moaning evident in the Telegraph this morning along the lines of of "4 Moore years of Clover!" was just too funny. I'll admit to a big dose of schadenfruede
and it looks like that getting the College St cycleway is high on her priority list.
LMAO, bad luck for the State Government and good news for Sydney cyclists.
