Lord mayor Clover Moore’s pro-cycling City of Sydney has collaborated with the traditionally less cycle-enthusiastic New South Wales government to install six new temporary bike lanes. But herein lies the rub: now we have a new influx of cyclists on the streets who aren’t always obeying etiquette or common sense safety measures. On the lanes, phone-free, don’t cycle side by side so you can chat! The bike lanes are narrow and your chat can probably wait. The cyclist’s common sense will come like all common sense does – by making mistakes and learning.
