Bunnings trip? Lounge suite? A person? No problem. A politician has sparked a surprising online trend after questioning whether people could actually shop by bike.

    Imagine we had the infrastructure to let people get around at 45km/h on a cargo bike

      Personally I think 45 km/h is an excessive and potentially unsafe speed.

        Yes, as a motorcyclist I’m always aghast at the speed cyclists can attain in relation to the protective clothing they don’t wear. I can understand why it’s not practical to wear abrasion-resistant clothing and a full-face helmet, but still.
