Changes to the Highway Code have created a hierarchy of road users, prioritising the most vulnerable.
Passing distance laws do change driver behaviour. But new research suggests not all the changes are positive.
Delivery riders are paying the ultimate price for the fact that our cities, their infrastructure and the rules governing them make cycling much more dangerous than it should be.
Drivers and cyclists develop distinct identities of themselves and others in ways that mirror the formation of ethnic identities. And on-road segregation runs the risk of reinforcing this process.
Bike helmet laws are meant to be about safety. But the hefty penalties and huge number of fines are causing resentment – made worse by some police abusing the law to stop, question and search riders.
Australia has had an 80% increase in cyclist deaths in 2017-18. With drivers at fault in most collisions, their attitude and behaviour should be the main targets for change.
If we’re going to intervene to stop the dumping of share bikes, we need to understand the bad behaviour in the first place, then design effective measures to change how bike users behave.

The parliamentary debate on cycling was a wake-up call to the government on cycling. The coalition government has been floundering, with a botched timeline for release of their Walking and Cycling Delivery…
