Cycling into the Upper House - but is the Daily Tele on board?
The rights of cyclists and the relevance of the NSW Upper House became entwined in a Daily Telegraph blog last week.
The rights of cyclists and the relevance of the NSW Upper House became entwined in a Daily Telegraph blog last week.
The
connection between these two apparently unrelated topics came when I
entered the debate. Telegraph writer Paul Pottinger took exception to
some of my comments and resorted to that ever-reliable form of argument
- change the topic. Rather than addressing my comments on the
comparable cost to society of bikes versus cars, Mr Pottinger chose to
have a go at the low number of sitting days per year in the Upper House.
My comments on the rights of cyclists got a run.
My
response to Mr Pottiner's Upper House comments did not so they are
reproduced below. To be fair to the Daily Telegraph, my response may
not have been accepted as it was posted today (Monday) and the blog may
have closed yesterday.
