Guess. My cartoon in today's @theageaustralia.bsky.social

Picked up 2 e-bike conversion kits and batteries. CYC Photon Gen 2. I guess my weekend is sorted 😎 #carryshitolympics

This surprises me. I am Gen X and had a look at the One Nation policies. There is nothing in there that would benefit me. It mostly reads like a climate change denier manifesto. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

'Welttag des Fahrrads' #FotoVorschlag

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding bikes, yet 66% of people did so while driving. And perhaps even more importantly, if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid.com

I wish journalists would bother to visit a manufacturing plant and understand the difference between “in” and “every”: “In China, BYD has a manufacturing line … that is capable of building a vehicle in 52 seconds.” 😂 www.theage.com.au/environment/...

Where is the outcry for more regulation in the name of safety like we had for e-bikes? #motonormativity www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

After all the killing and destruction, this is what causes moral outrage? Humanity is doomed. 🤦‍♂️ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Car drivers get a plea, e-bike riders get regulation and licencing. Where is the call for more regulation for cars in the name of safety? #motonormativity michaelwest.com.au/plea-for-pat...

Do I have to say it again? That is not an e-bike but a motorcycle that happens to be electric. Yes, the rider did not look but the footage looks like the driver was speeding in the service lane and had the reaction time of a sloth. 7news.com.au/news/police-...

What a complete mess. 10km/h speed limit on shared paths. Is that for e-bikes only? Can I ride 25km/h+ on my non-e bike? Are shared paths optional then and I can use the road instead to ride 25km/h? Queensland just killed the e-bike. Nobody ever questions car use 🤦‍♂️ michaelwest.com.au/e-bike-crack...

Nice detail on the painted on speed limit just in front of a coffee shop with a narrow sidewalk in a lane in Melbourne CBD.

“The debate over the capital gains tax discount comes down to a very simple question: who do you think should pay more income tax?” writes Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist at The Australia Institute. Read the full piece on The Point: https://theaus.in/3OHEXVa

Good take on the on illegal e-motorbike issue in Australia. I agree theconversation.com/that-e-bike-...

If the cap fits. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

A heavily redacted cartoon. My @smh cartoon.

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills

In which I have a look at AUKUS and tbh lose my shit at how dumb it is. @thepointau.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

I'm no expert... But surely these groups should be aligned. Unless one of these groups is mislabeled.

Looks like an interesting Tuesday, low of 17°C and high of 45°C. Batten down at home with the A/C, I guess. Let’s hope the bushfire situation does not get too catastrophic 🤞

I think I need to repost this after today’s Liberal/National shenanigans. Called it correctly last time. My guess is that the Liberals will have a new leader, though. Ssorry, Sussan, you will never have Paris. 😂 Or is the new coalition Liberal/One Nation after the rest of the Nationals defect? 🤔

Why are so many still sticking with Twitter? | Fiona Katauskas

Grass roots. My @smh cartoon.

The international rules of law have just been made obsolete and so has the UN. We may as well dissolve it. It is quite telling how dismissive countries like the UK, France, Germany and Australia are about this. Good night and good luck. news.un.org/en/story/202...

The unreachable bike parking. Melbourne bike infrastructure at its best.😂

🔟 In Sydney, Lord Mayor Clover Moore has focused on design, innovation and sustainability to shape a beautiful and liveable city for the twenty-first century. On her watch, cycling rates have increased by 163%—and the number of women biking by 15%—with over 40,000 residents riding in a typical week.

This is odd. We put in the desalination plant in the last drought to not have to worry about water restrictions anymore. With the excess solar power during the day we should have no problem running it. 🤷‍♂️ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

I cycled the new Veloway today that was built as part of the Westgate Tunnel project. It separates the bike lane from the dangerous road below, which provides access to the port of Melbourne for thousands of trucks everyday. bigbuild.vic.gov.au/projects/wes...

How does Black Friday show your true colours? | Fiona Katauskas

Again an article that mixes the danger of illegal e-motorbikes (no pedals) and modified e-bikes with the danger of riding e-bikes in general. Enforce the existing laws on illegal e-bikes and stop them from being imported. Compliant e-bikes are not dangerous. theconversation.com/young-people...

That chart is well worth studying. Share of daily transactions taking place in cash around the world. As an Australian, I’m very much used to cashless everything by now. I’m still totally against going fully cashless.

At the Red Hot Summer Tour Crowded House concert at Rochford Winery in the Yarra Valley. Great venue, Crowded House was excellent. It was the biggest gathering of camping chairs I have ever seen 😁
