Frustrated urbanist and active transport advocate in Brisbane, Australia.
Weird how the camera never picked up their approach, but fortunately, my eyes aren't fixed angle - so I saw the car coming, saw the driver's eyes never looked in my direction, but rather behind where I was coming from anticipating a car. Wasn't surprised when she pulled out in front of me.
Does my ambition exceed my ability? Let's find out. #carryshitolympics #notanebike
This good boy isn't taking any chances, ensuring he is wearing a bicycle helmet so his human doesn't get a $518 fine for a passenger not wearing a helmet.
Off to the pub to see my twice best man who's visiting. I would normally ride, but Queensland has now passed strict drink riding rules with the same 0.05 limit as drivers. First week so cops love being seen to enforce dumb shit. So I'm riding a bus.
Queensland's finest were out ready to harass radical ebike riders on day 1 of the new draconian emobility laws. They didn't ask me for a chat... but I was dressed for the occasion. @tomflood.bsky.social
So much for on location filming to camera... Mental note: check radar better, and don't wear a white t-shirt if it's going to rain...
Queensland Government has announced its Gold Coast transport plan featuring - a fake tram style bus to the airport. On general traffic roads. I decided to make their artist's impression a little more realistic.
Got one of these little fellas camping in my ensuite at the moment. Cheeky fella decided to hide behind the toilet roll. We both got a good old fight when I had to do my business, pulled the roll and he majestically galloped up the wall at eye level.
Timeline cleanse in case your feedback is dominated by the fake ranga moron.
Safe streets advocates who think you can make change by asking nicely vs safe street advocates who have actually made change happen.
Hahaha, think i upset the LNP. I got a letter from the Clerk of parliament demanding i delete my most recent YouTube video (this one). I've done so. But I'll edit it to remove the bad bits and reupload 🤣
In my 26 minute video I made one sarcastic comment about bicycle helmets - "you should wear one to avoid a fine, $510 is too much". Australian helmet hysteria can't resist it.
Accompanied by Mitch and Belinda from @space4cyclingbne.bsky.social watching Queensland's Moron for Transport and Chair of Incompetence explain why they're banning anyone without a drivers licence riding an electric bicycle. The smiles are muscle memory...we were effectively lobotomised.
Happy World Bicycle Day! Listen to the Queensland Transport Minister explain what the law changes will mean for Brisbane's busiest cycleway - the Bicentennial Bikeway. Clear as mud?
Happy World Bicycle Day, where Queensland will today make it the most restrictive place in the world to ride an electric bicycle.
Broncos with their traditional 30-26 loss to the Dragons.... back to back titles are overrated anyway #nrlbroncosdragons
Legend has it he's still beside the road gesturing angrily at passing drivers.
Did a little experiment. Posted the same video twice, one with an inflammatory title, one with just a positive title. The positive one got half the exposure and no comments. The inflammatory one angried up the blood. No wonder YouTube channels often go full cooker.
