Bendigo cyclists have deemed any such move unwarranted as well which is positive.

This type of law change would draw a flood of criticism against the cycling fraternity and those behind the decision.

It would also make a mockery of the VicRoads and state government survey designed to collect important community feedback on present cycling road laws.

This survey is a good step - let's see what the people think about cycling laws and make commonsense decisions based on those views.

Allowing cyclists to run red lights isn't a commonsense move. Nor is some of the other things raised at the weekend such as allowing cyclists of any age to ride on foothpaths or trying to enforce motorists to remain one metre away from any rider.

We should also hope that one of the main things to come out of this review is a clear picture of the need for further education aimed at reducing the gulf between motorists and cyclists.

You only have to look through comments against any story on cycling to see there is plenty of work that needs doing to fix this relationship.

The road is for both sets of users and until we get harmony the safety of both groups will remain a concern.

It's clear a good dose of tolerance from all involved is the main ingredient to fixing this relationship.
