I was a guest on the 3AW sports today programme where they discussed proposals for the corridor strategy through the bayside Council area on beach Road. I think it is a well thought out segment. Please feel free to have a listen it is at the beginniorder viagra super activeng of the 3AW Sports Today Podcast, Wednesday August 10. The segment appears at the beginning of the program. Enjoy, Mike.

Following the death of John Cornish whilst riding his bike within 200 m of the site of my accident SBS ran a news story on bike safety. The circumstances of his death are frighteningly similar to the cause of my accident. John was an advocate for safe cycling, and it is important that we all take up the mantle to continue his work. It is time for the cycling community to show other road users that they are serious about road safety. In order to gain more rights and respect on the road we must show motorists that we are serious about minimising serious injury and fatalities whilst cycling. The Amy Gillett Foundation has a Road Users Code which is worth a read. It gives a good overview of how…

I was interviewed for a story that Channel 9 news was running with some statistics revealing that cyclists break Road rules. With any segment of the community there will be lawbreakers but nothing changes the consequences of when a cyclist is hit viagra in the ukby a motorist whether they are breaking the laws or not. Obviously motorists break the rules as well but the consequences are not as great when a cyclist hits a motorist!

I appeared in an article on Stateline (ABC television) in Victoria in March 2011. Purchase cialis online The same interview but in an extended format was also featured on a program called Contact Sport. You can view it at the following link: ABC TV Contact Sport . The episode was shown on Friday, 22 April and my feature starts 18 min and 10 seconds into the program.

After years of hard work from a number of people some action has been taken by the Bayside City Council to trial a No Stopping Zone on Beach Road here in Melbourne between 6 AM and 10 AM on Saturday and Sunday mornings. This trial will hopefully show to work at home how that it provides a safer environment for all on weekends as well as better traffic flow, decreased noise and with little impact on local businesses who rely on parking along this route during these times. It is up to everyone in the cycling community to treat this trial as a privilege and show that cyclist behaviour warrants this ruling reflecting how the road is used at this time. If you are a cyclist please ensure that your…

As you would be aware, City of Port Philip and Kingston have already commenced the 12 month trial of 'No Stopping' zones along Beach Rd as a measure to increase cyclist safety. Bayside council is having a meeting tomorrow night at which there is a proposal that they too join these other councils and approve a trial for a 'No Stopping' zone along Route 33 (Beach Rd). There is a group of residents who are highly organised, highly vocal and highly against this 'No Stopping' zone so we need to get a large number of supporters of the 'No Stopping' zone to attend and speak in favour of the proposal. You can speak for 3 minutes but something as simple as "I support the recommendation and urge council to proceed with…

For those who are interested, the segment that was originally to be shown tonight (Monday, 2 August) at 7 PM on Channel 10 will now be shown tomorrow night (Tuesday, 3 August). You will have to look out for it again, sorry! I have now placed a link to the article that was aired on You Tube. You can find this link on the Cycle Safety page of this website. Cheers, Mike.

A lot has happened since my last post including a trip to Japan with some photos I will post shortly, a trip to Sydney and the Hunter Valley for a cousin's wedding, and a trip to Brisbane to visit my brother where everyone but Monica, Ashley and mBuying Cialis Online Without Prescriptionyself got violently sick! We have bought a new house, some progress has been made on the No Stopping Zone in the Bayside Council area, and we have a female Prime Minister (for now at least)! It has been a good six weeks to try and do things with this body that does not work. The trip to Japan was with friends who are fabulously helpful and at times I was even an asset to have around. Needless to…

The newspaper article related to the petition that we prepared and submitted appears in the Bayside Leader and other Leader newspapers today. Please feel free to have your say on this issue by following this link: http://bayside-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/clearway-petition-push-on/. There are sure to be many inflamed comments from the other side of the fence on this issue so it is important to represent what the majority has clearly shown with the 2300 signatures that we collected. Cheers, Mike.

A big thankyou to the volunteers and everyone who helped gather signatures. The petition was submitted on Wednesday containing just under 2300 signatures, over 500 from residents of Bayside. This is apparently a record petition to Bayside council so well done. If you still have a page of signatures out there, please still send them in as they can be submitted subsequent to the petition being lodged. This petition is being put to council at their meeting this Tuesday (25th May). It should give great leverage with council as we move towards achieving a safer Beach Rd. Let's hope that common sense and democracy prevail. I will keep you posted as to the results of this effort. From here we hopefully get to speak at an upcoming council meeting where it…
