Risk Warnings which warns of
-
(i) dangers of cycling on
public roads with motor cars
where approx 60
cyclists die on Australian roads each year from 2000 - see "Report
on Cyclists Deaths" - July 2006;
(ii) potholes and over bridges with vertical timber
planks with gaps; and
(iii) possibility of being sued for big bucks if your
negligence causes a 3rd party to be seriously injured,
so join
Bicycle NSW for
$20m PL insurance, so that all Muggs are better protected
