Sad to see today that a cyclist has been killed after being knocked out of the cycle lane by another cyclist on the Sydney Wollongong motorway into the path of a car. This is what I was refering to in terms of such small traffic separations in a country where traffic is moving at speed. People get killed just being in a broken down car in a motorway breakdown lane. It is no place for a cycleway.
This was no aggressive or stupid motorist involved. It was the stupidity of putting a cycleway centimetres from the carriageway of a 110kph road (or even an 80 kph road for that matter).
