As a cyclist I feel quite strongly about this but if you have any member of your family who rides a bike then it's something you should also be passionate about.
If you'd like to make our roads safer for all cyclists, please print out the petition in the link below, sign it and send it to the following address:
Andrew Nikolic MP, Federal Member for Bass
100 St John Street
Launceston Tas 7250
You can send it in with just one signature or get the support of friends & family... one metre matters

Here's a formatted letter which can be emailed to your local MP calling for their support
Here's a bit more light reading :)
