A rainbow coalition of cyclists swept down College Street on Saturday afternoon to deliver a message to NSW Premier Mike Baird – Sydney is failing to keep pace with the rest of the world.
The action group were riding to defence cyclist’s rights, protesting against Transport for NSW’s Go Together campaign which introduces a raft of new rules and fines for cyclists.
They particularly object to new requirements for cyclists to carry photo ID and at increases in fines – from $71 to $319 for not wearing a helmet, $71 to $425 for running a red light, and from $71 to $319 for holding up a moving vehicle.
