FREE: "Look Before Opening" Bicycle Safety Stickers (Delivered)

640

A great reminder to look out for bikes when opening car doors. Here's a screenshot of what they look like.

  • We don’t support stickers being put onto cars without drivers permission.
  • The stickers are designed to go on the inside window of the car not on any mirrors.
  • It takes a lot of time, effort and cost to send out the stickers, so kids who are ordering them please use them for your parents cars and not for sticking them on your school books, skateboards, decorating your room or anything else apart from a car window.
  • If you aren’t going to use 20 please order less.

    Just out of curiosity, what do you have to do to be allowed to legally ride a bicycle on Australian public roads?

    • Wear an approved cycle helmet and follow the road rules. Otherwise a police officer can write you a ticket.

      • Thanks, I was just curious whether there is any formal training and/or testing of road laws as I know what you have to go through to be ALLOWED to use motorised transportation on public roads!

        • Most adult cyclists already have driver's licences for when we are driving our cars and motorbikes. We have the same qualifications as the Drivers because….(drumroll)…we are drivers just like you. What you are really asking is whether we should be making our kids get licences to ride their bikes. Kids over 15 aren't allowed to ride on footpaths but they cant get a driver's licence until they are 18. Is it this 3 year gap you are talking about?

        • @2ndeffort:
          No, I'm talking of the 5 cyclists that I personally know that have never held a drivers or motorcycle license! And that's out here (50kms from the city), how many cyclists would there be much closer to, or in the city?

          And I find it amazing as to the safety/roadworthy components that a road regd motorcycle must have compared with that of a road going bicycle that in some circumstances would be travelling just as quick!

    For the 'pay your rego' readers:

    http://www.smh.com.au/executive-style/fitness/on-your-bike/w…

    The idea that cyclists should pay registration is a perennial one for bike-bashers, and seems to revolve around two pet theories.

    The first notion, that of “user pays”, falls down on a vast number of points, including:

    1. Road construction is paid for out of general taxation. We all fund the roads, even those who only ever walk. Besides, rego revenue falls far short of the amount spent on roads, and is swallowed up by administration fees and third party insurance.

    2. Local road repairs are paid for by councils – your rates are subsidising people who drive through your suburb (the bludgers!).

    3. Cars are charged by weight and the damage they do. In NSW, a 1.51-tonne car costs $459 to register and a 950-kilogram vehicle, $243; on that sliding scale, what might the owner of a 10-kilogram bicycle pay?

    The second theory regards registration plates being used for law enforcement: “I could report the number of a cyclist breaking the road rules, and they'd get a fine.”

    This idea fails in so many areas it's hard to know where to start. Have you ever noted the number of a car that breaks the law, and phoned it in to the police? They will sigh and tell you there's nothing they can do.

    Kids do NOT stick these on your parents windows without permission.
    A sticker stuck on window tint is not a nice thing.
