00:00I wear a helmet though. I think it's safer if you wear a helmet, you know, because you only need a slight knock to your head and, you know, but whether they should, you know, make you compulsory, I'm not sure.
00:15I actually cycle from time to time and I've got to be honest, it's very scary on the road. Most people, most drivers, I don't think, realise the rule is they should be at least a metre to a metre and a half away from a cyclist.
00:29Because they should be looking what's inside of them, you know. I know it's right hand driving it, you know, but it's just, you know, they should have adequate mirrors and all to be looking what's behind them and what's coming inside the cyclist.
00:43I think they should always wear helmets and they should wear IDAS clothing. You come out, you go driving, now when the sun is shining and then it hits a tree-lined avenue, for the better word, and they are there in their black, you can't see them.
