Looking in the (truck) mirror<\/a>: Val and Faith face a chilly morning in the studio while their planned guest waits in vain for a train on the Chelsea train station platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We share our bike moments before taking a look at some recent news. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November changes come into effect that mandate reversing technologies for all new vehicles, including trucks, starting November 1, 2025, with a full mandate for all new models by November 1, 2027. Together with new rules from 2023, that allow more camera and mirror systems to be fitted to heavy vehicles, these could mean an improvement in safety for vulnerable road users. But will they, if it isn’t mandated for Australia’s older truck fleets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We take a look at what happened in the Netherlands when retro fitting of blind spot mirrors to trucks<\/a> saw deaths of people on bikes after crashes with trucks drop significantly. It is one of a suite of measures that include separating vulnerable road users and education campaigns. Is this something Australia should be considering? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finish with a reminder that the Critcal Mass Will Richter Memorial Ride<\/a> is on this coming Friday, leaving from the State Library at 5:30pm and that the Bike Film Night <\/a>is coming up on Tuesday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
