RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthama
The well known freeway bike ride in Perth, the Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma, which was previously known as the HBF Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma has a new naming rights sponsor in 2012, the RAC. With the 2012 RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma taking place on March 18, 2012 not only does the RAC Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma get a new naming rights sponsor, it gets new start and finish points. This means no more finishing in Joondalup for the freeway bike ride.

Road Safety Council Responds to Submission on Cyclist Safety
In December 2011 I made a submission to the Western Australian Road Safety Council outlining a number of concerns that I had in respect to cyclist safety on Western Australian roads. I included with my submission a CD with a number of videos illustrating what I experience on the road and also the type of incidents that the Western Australian Police consider as not being an offence. I also sent a copy of my submission to the Minister of Road Safety, the Honourable Rob Johnston and to the vulnerable road users representative on the Road Safety Council, Mr Matt Brown, Head of Member Advocacy at the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (RAC).
Slow Down and Enjoy the Ride Road Safety Campaign
I have received a response from Minister of Road Safety, Mr Rob Johnson and from Professor Holman, Independent Chair of the Road Safety Council. I have not had a response, not even an acknowledgement, from Mr Brown or the RAC. I do wonder if I am expecting to much from a motoring organisation whom is meant to represent vulnerable road users? No; manners are manners. Please click through for the responses and leave your thoughts
