Because they (Australia) have been a sovereign self governing state for over 120 years. King Charles has no real executive power over them or any of their domestic policies.

They are banned on underground trains due to fire risk .. the amount that try it and we have to hold the service for them to be removed
Thing is bikes you could understand when they were bikes people wouldn't fancy the long ride , but these are doing the work

I have a cyclist friend who's insured, and always wears adequate safety gear, who gets very angry about people who criticise cyclists. He gets even more angry at the cyclists who give them understandable cause.

If he sees the latter why is he angry at the former?

If he's like me he gets sick of the lazy generalisation. I said to someone on a ride yesterday that I've basically become one of the most hated members of society - a dog-owning cyclist!

Surely it's the right time and place to get the publicity she was looking for.

I really dislike drivers who don't use slip roads correctly. IE get up to speed and merge. Don't get up to say 30 mph on a 50 mph road and then attempt to join.

Had that on the way to work. We were in lane 1 with no room to our right to move across and a car comes flying up the slip road hell bent on diving straight on despite the hash lines and nearly took the back of the car out as he simply came on and then beeped and flashed as though we had stayed there deliberately. No one pays attention to the lines or slow down to merge sensibly

So you both admit that cyclists are a problem but other road users are not allowed to mention it?
I drive in London everyday and I can tell you cyclists reputation as the least law abiding group on the roads is well earned.

I disagree only on the point of "least law abiding".
Thousand and thousands of motorists exceeding the maximum permitted speed every day. I think motorists win that accolade.

Can you get cream for that?My learned colleague is extrapolating badly.
