for the safety of the workers on the site. Blatant disregard shown

Does this sound familiar to the issues put forward by cyclists against

<br><font size=3>Hi Anthony, I am not certain of just what the Police were
there to do. They were just leaning on the fence looking at the bikeway
and talking to each other when I saw them. PeteW mentioned in an earlier
post that they had nabbed a cyclist for using a mobile while riding. Perhaps
it was just a 'hassle cyclists' initiative during bike week. If they are
engaged by BCC then BCC may be able to say why they have got them there,
they do that on many road jobs if it is deemed necessary. Perhaps one or
some of the traffic controllers have been hassled in some way, there was
an article in the paper recently about how the traffic controllers union
is not happy with some safety and employment issues. I think tho, that
the traffic controllers were partly to blame for some of the heated conflict
during the sewer pipe epic works there last time with their lack of understanding
of the rules and their own authority. I am not sure of how well the HSL
related controllers have been doing their job but I have not had any grief
with them. I have not been down that way for a few days but I am pretty
sure that there is no requirement to dismount yet and I don't think the
bypass section will have been opened yet as it seemed to have a lot of
building to be done when I last saw it last.<br>

So are they making cyclists walk then? I have been on standby and so I
have been driving the standby car and<br>
so haven't even rode on the Coro Drive pretend bikeway. How bad is it?<br>

I have idiots at work who reckon bicycle should have registration (again).
I will pay for my registration the<br>
day that they give us descent cycling facilities!</font>

I was talking today to the Central Traffic Branch of the QPS about the
lack of compliance with the 40kph zone through the HSL work site on Coro
Drv and I mentioned that I had seen two police officers and two police
cars parked on the footpath there and that they were paying attention to
the cyclists on the bikeway totally oblivious to the speeding car traffic
behind them. He said he thought the BCC was paying for those two officers
to police the bikeway.<br>
<br>
If that was/is the case, I think that is a bit of an overkill in light
of the car traffic problems there. Probably comes out of that massive cycle
budget too.<br>

standing there waving and frowning. The path there is no narrower than

control on the footpaths of George St? Pissants. Oh well, I'll just use
Highgate Hill from now on. <br>

Speaking of the 'blitz', I pulled over this morning to take a phone call.
As I did that, a rider went past, no hands, chatting away on his phone
and I thought, I could be quick like him! I finished my call and went around
the corner, and there he was, with cops writing out a ticket. My lucky
day, but not his :D<br>
