While digging through old bikeqld mail I found the below mail, which I 
think never made it onto the list (due to the large attachment). The image

Apologies for this mail having slipped through the cracks until now.

Hi there



Just thought (hoped) it might be useful for anyone campaigning on inner
city traffic issues to have this photo on hand.



Whilst riding in the CBD yesterday my rear wheel was clipped by the
wheels of the trailer on a large construction site truck as it mounted
the footpath while taking the corner on Edward and Charlotte St's.



Fortunately for me my injuries were limited to bruising and abrasion.





Quotes from the Lord Mayor: "It's about people and it's about

> cycling",

> and "It's also about our vision for the Brisbane CBD to be pedestrian
and

> cycling friendly."



Keep up the good work,



Owen Foale
