"It's lucky he was looking. If he'd been on his phone or something, it could have been a tragic accident, because without the street lights you just can't see anything." stuff.co.nz/national/11999… How about slowing the heck down then? 2/2
Amazing lack of self responsibility and blame-apportioning on the vulnerable road user. "Karori resident Ellie Bauer said she nearly hit a pedestrian on Tuesday evening because they were wearing dark clothing." 1/2
Latest blog: How I train my sprint: cyclewire.wordpress.com/2018/06/23/how… … #racing #cycling #track #sprinting
@NZTAWgtn Is it also COMPLETELY blocking the footpath/ sorry excuse for a bike lane? Is that worth a mention perhaps?
Some truly dumb comments on this article, even by stuff’s standards. ‘Doctors, what do they know?!’ i.stuff.co.nz/national/healt…
Yet again a hopeless sentence for a driver who killed a cyclist. Why was the charge not death caused by careless driving? Defence had gall to argue carelessness was at "lower end of the scale" - someone DIED FFS! stuff.co.nz/timaru-herald/…
Truckie decides driving in a tornado isn't dangerous enough, so takes hand off wheel and films with mobile phone: nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl… @nzherald #distracteddriving
Latest 'How I..' blog for cycling fans. Ironic post really since I stuffed up the last couple of these I raced: cyclewire.wordpress.com/2018/03/16/how… #trackcycling #velodrome
@NZStuff given your usual protocol for reporting vehicle and cyclist crashes, shouldn't this be 'pedestrian collides with bicycle'? i.stuff.co.nz/national/10053…
@markhobson For everyone's safety, buildings should be removed from the sides of roads.
It is truly amazing how many motorists manage to crash into buildings: stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/…
Why, @DomPost , is it ALWAYS a cyclist who collides with a car and not the other way round? Do you see how that phrasing seems to assign blame? stuff.co.nz/national/10010…
"Cyclists don't follow the road rules and blah de blah.." They don't do this though do they? stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/…
@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay So are commas apparently. But anyway, build people decent alternatives and they will use and like that too, which will do more for congestion than new signal sequences (which I agree, are very often shite). x.com/electricbazza/…
We're going to need a bigger bike path soon #friding ift.tt/2AMsu7p
@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Lol, people don't melt in the rain, and there's also PT which should be a priority for development. Or are you saying everything is 'just fine', and congestion isn't an issue?
@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Ebikes and jackets. There's just not enough room in Wellington for everyone to be travelling around in mobile versions of their living room for every journey.
@mccaffreydanie1 @IBCycleWay Yes you're right. We need to get heaps more people onto bikes, because as you say, there are thousands of people in cars, which is a massively inefficient use of road space.

So popular, evidence indeed that people will cycle if they feel safe.
