  1. It's that time again when santa does a quick trip around the state
    asking all the good little children what they would like for christmas
    for the next three years.

    Don't be shy. Go and tell santa that you'd like a new bikeway ... and
    maybe some showers at work ... and an easier way to cross that highway
    .... and

    I'm sure you can just ring the head office of whatever political party
    you support and ask for the candidate's phone number. Better still phone
    all the candidates in your area.

    I understand that some people are keen to see more money poured into
    cycling facilities. If that's something that gets up it may be of
    benefit to you personally if your local elected MP can quickly nominate
    a project or two in your area. So let them know specifically what you
    want.

    So this is a core or non-core promise?

    Was speaking to Mike Reynolds MP Labor member for Townsville outside his office for 5 minutes yesterday on cycling issues . He is very aware of the local issues as I keep on reminding him. He understands the different needs of path/road cyclists so we are a long way in front there.

    As you say Peter we need to ask. LOTS of people are asking about Health (which is miles better than most states) and water. Its the old saying about squeaky wheels.

    I am seeing more inexperienced older riders on beat up bikes now as fuel and repair costs start to bite. More kids riding bikes to "things" instead of mums taxi.

    Lots of education and infrastructure needed.

    Cheers
    Hugh

  6. suggestion. if pitching specific projects concentrate on the marginal seats where the incumbent is a Beattie-boy/goirl.
    Pork barrelling only works in 'your own pen' 😄
