Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.

There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."

"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

Crashes at Lavenders Bridge, North Bellingen

* Just a short time ago two women were killed and another seriously injured after a motorist 'lost control' near the notorious Lavender Bridge and smashed into two cars parked at the riverside swimming spot. >>

* Today there was another serious incident involving two e-bikes. An ambulance was seen at the crash zone. An injured person was seen lying on the ground. (The ambulance is visible on the Kombu Flood Camera at 2026-05-24 11.26 ) >>

* In the design of the new 'Lavenders Bridge Replacement' bikes and foot traffic do not seem to be a feature. A lot of bitumen was smeared over the river banks to facilitate the convenience for cars (parking).

The Invisible Shift

A street cleaner with a bin bag in one hand, framed between a STOP sign and a no-right-turn sign. You couldn’t stage it better. I shot this from Drawbridge Street, watching the lunchtime crowd flow past him like water around a rock. What struck me was the contrast: dozens of people mid-stride, shopping or wandering around, and this one figure doing the quiet work that keeps the city ticking over.

His orange hi-vis jacket is the loudest thing in the frame, but he’s mostly unnoticed by everyone. The young lad in the camo jacket is walking towards me, a woman in a black top is mid-step, and behind the railings there’s a whole parade of shoppers who have no idea they’re in a photograph. I like that the two road signs bookend him: STOP on one side, no-right-turn on the other as if the street itself is giving him contradictory instructions. It’s one of those shots where the composition just fell into place, and all I had to do was not fumble the shutter.

Energy worker Kane Minion was mauled to death by dogs while trying to read an electricity meter

"The inquest is expected to run until Thursday, with three more witnesses to give evidence. Energy Queensland would not pay its meter reading contractor when workers skipped properties due to safety concerns about dogs, an inquest has heard...After Mr Minion's death, the company began to be paid for meter reads that were skipped due to the presence of dogs, the court heard."

"A bandog bull-mastiff cross named Dozer and a bull-mastiff Rhodesian ridgeback cross named Scooby were euthanised following the attack."

A Reminder to Unclip and Anticipate Danger While Cycling

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In the last two days I have had dangerous situations in Geneva and Nyon when pedestrians, or cars, have failed to pay attention to the fact that they were crossing a cycling lane where cyclists have priority. The result is that in two cases I had to take emergency evasive action to avoid a collision.

For a long time I always unclipped when I thought people might cut me off. Recently I haven't. The result is that in Geneva, when girls cut me off while I was on a cycle lane with a green light I couldn't stop, but I didn't want to hit them. I emergency braked, passed behind them and continued on my way.

Last night it was a car driver that ignored that he was crossing a cycle lane. If I had continued going straight I would have hit his car. I diverted and I avoided the car. I think he was yelling abuse at me. He refused priority, not the other way around. He was crossing from a road, crossing a cycle path, and pavement, to get into a 20 zone. He had no priority in this context.

This isn't about blame, or priorities. This is about anticipating people's actions. I should have unclipped at least one foot, ready to stop in both situations. Recently I have been riding an enormous amount, by my standards, and I have become a little lax with anticipating dangers and risks.

If you're using flat pedals, and you're surprised, within milliseconds you can stop. With clipped in pedals it takes milliseconds to realise you need to unclip, unclip, and then put your foot down.

Pedestrians, and cars, when they see "road" cyclists should keep this in mind.

I wear brilliant colours when I cycle. In last night's incident I had a brilliant yellow top and a 1300 lumen white light on the front of my bike. I was clearly visible. The car refused my priority.

Invisible and Silent

When I was getting my scooter licence we had to learn that we were invisible to cars, and to anticipate danger. On a bicycle, not only are we invisible, but we're silent. We can sneak up on people with ease. That's why I always slow down, and say hello, on agricultural roads. I had a bell on my bike, but because I never used it I removed it. I find greeting people, after slowing down, is more convivial and friendly.

And Finally

Cycling infrastructure is designed for touring cyclists, and families, rather than road cyclists. This means that it's important to be ready to stop instantly, if the situation requires.

As a road cyclist I would love for cycling infrastructure to be built for speed like roads are, but they're not. They're designed for flâneurs to get from A to B after a short bike ride in urban clothes, without a helmet.

In future I will actively make sure I unclip in situations where mistakes by drivers, and pedestrians are possible.

Results of a recent lighting survey in Rome showed that "walking comfort was affected by mean luminance of whole scene, of sidewalk, of lateral wall and of human body; luminance also influenced the perception of street lighting intensity and uniformity and, to a lesser extent, the visibility of other people and of background."
