Demanding Safer Cycling Conditions

700 cyclist were demanding safer cycling conditions in Melbourne today. A cyclist died there last month, when she was hit by a tour bus. Despite the 'National Ride to Work Day' hype, a lot of urban planning needs to be done on Australian cities and sub-urbia.
Safe, physically separated cycle and walking paths, before all the gadgets of helmets, fluorescent plastic clothing etc. Provide the infrastructure for safe mobility without the stink and life-threatening dangers. Target the mind-set of 'speeding'.
