I love riding my bike to work - I avoid traffic jams, get excercise and feel I'm doing something for the environment as well. We need bike traffic lanes for the safety of both cyclists and drivers - not shared footpaths where cyclists have to give way to cars or be pushed into the gutter or off the bike onto to road. We promote Australia an active country - in fact cyclists are ashamed of the lack of cycleways / paths here in Australia especially compared to countries I've cycled in Europe.

We cyclists pay our taxes and deserve to have a say about wanting them spent on cycling. We are mostly also car owner/drivers and pay all those fees as well - our voice should be heard in equal measure to those advocating road infrastructure improvements. Please be in touch with who your clientele is and take note of the blow which would be struck by a mass exodus from NRMA.

Allan Evans. Ask the government how much is spent on roads and where that money comes from. My taxes and rates I believe pay for over 90% of the road infrastructure. So I am entitled to use the road and encourage drivers to learn their responsibilities to cyclists and their safety. Plus more of my local bushland is taken as a pay back. Have you got kids.....?

NRMA management have made some extraordinarily ignorant comments against cyclists. Perhaps this is seen as a Hansonite-type opportunity to appeal to the ignorance of members? If so, you underestimate the intelligence of your membership.
I have ridden the 18km to and from work as my only transport for more than one year. I do so for the joy of riding. I choose quiet roads and bicycle paths where possible. I pollute less, reduce road congestion, and work more effectively as a result. Why hate me?

as either a pedestrian / cyclist or public transport user it is easy to see why everyone wants to stay on the road, its because the NRMA has done such a good job getting roads built to the detriment of everything else, and it has only made the transport problems and obesity worse in this country, do as Europe and get poloticians with the fortitude to do the right thing which may not be the popular thing but a start is needed, any start is better than nothing, enjoy the challenge.

Please spend more money on cycling infrastructure. The number one reason people refuse to cycle is the perceived danger out there on the roads. Increased spending on infrastructure providing safer cycle ways will help ease this perceived danger and increase the number of cyclists out on the road. Which can only benefit everyone.

I was considering joining NRMA Road Service again later this year when my complimentary Roadside Assist service (with new vehicle purchase) expires. I am familiar with that Epping Road debacle where the NRMA were the loudest opponent to the construction of a cycling lane. The only reason why the NRMA dislikes cyclists is that riders do not contribute to their profits nor do they require the aid of a serviceman. There are other options to NRMA Road Service and I am looking.

I think that NRMA "representing motorists" is acting irresponsibly in taking this position in respect of cycling infrastructure.
