THis is about looking for motorcycles at junctions, but could apply to
pushbikes too.

Now, why can't Oz governments come up with radio ads like this?

"Don't take it in"

That, and that TV ad that made the rounds a few weeks ago can be found

Speaking of what governments do and don't do, check out Transport SA's share
the road/Team O'Grady ad.

You're in the mirror of the car that opens the door?

Good Ads, esp the print one where it says it is legal to ride 2
abreast.

Zebee

There was an ad that ran in the UK when I was a kid with Colin Jackson. It was nothing flash, just him saying this is a car, with the camera level with the table and his clenched fist moving across the table, see how easy it is to see? But a bike's much narrower, moving hs hand, held as a knife edge across the table.

A bit of illustrative car pulling out in front of a bike 'cause the bike was obscured by a tree.

Think once, think twice, think BIKE! (knife edge hand karate chops the table).

It was quite effective I think.

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

Trés cool!

"Why can't Vic governments come up with radio ads like this?"

Those ads are entirely too sensible. One more addition, that I would
have liked to see alongside the "give cyclists room", is "wait the few
seconds you may need to safely pass a cyclist with adequate clearance"
-- it'll hint to drivers that we really aren't delaying them by all
that much, and they might think about it next time they pass.

*Bzzzzt* wrong. I'm the monstrous one in the black shorts and white
t-shirt, they put me at the back so I wouldn't block the sun.
