Channel 9 beat up Cyclist Vs Motorists
Did anyone see that rubbish?
They were trying to show the typical shots of cyclists behaving badly. Of course, they show the bike couriers - duh!!! Then they tried to show how cyclists are going down one way streets the wrong way. click here to see http://members.iinet.net.au/~sratcl...distortionb.JPG then I thought I noticed something I replayed the scene. the first couple of frames (a half a sec) reveals the ACA has no concern for the truth of it. http://members.iinet.net.au/~sratcl...adistortion.JPG Notice the configuration. It is a bus lane which he is entitled to ride in (on Market Street, Sydney by the look of it) and the cyclist is travelling the correct way. Scotty |

That's a keen eye you have there Scotty - that is, in fact, Market Street heading east. There is a single bus lane that terminates at York St (the next traffic lights straight ahead) as buses turn right into the QVB bus station. Those sneaky tv people. That's it. I refuse to believe their Miracle Water stories from now on! Ritch |

Good pick up. Must be Sydney? Why don't they show the white van couriers behaving badly (which of course plenty of them do)? Not to mention all those nobs driving around with Courier stickers on their cars. -- Nick |

Re: Channel 9 beat up Cyclist Vs Motorists
Man... that's shite. I recommend you send this info to MediaWatch on the
ABC. They love this sort of stuff. What a pack of pricks they are to do that... I'm disgusted!!

just had a chance to watch this article, managed to get a divx version it... was not a bad article.... who the hell is Jenny Ward anyway, was a pretty balanced article I must admit though, showing both sides at fault, very interesting. I just love how they show Bike couriers.... but also the groups, recognized, Beach Rd, Esplanade, Mordicallic (i think the guy doing the u-turn) and also I think hawthorn road was in there as well wasn't it ?? near glenferrie.... oh well at least the issues are getting raised I suppose, maybe people will become a bit more aware.

Re: Channel 9 beat up Cyclist Vs Motorists
I'm sure this had been said a bazillion times before, but our biggest problem is Critical Mass; they generate much more antagonism than the fluff pieces on telly.

And if it wasn't for CM, the meedya would surely go & find some other minority group to pick on. Like roadies scaring tax-paying 4WD drivers, hyperactive MTB kiddies scaring the bushwalkers blahblahblah. Anyway CM is a symptom of a much greater problem, not a cause. |
