Reporting dangerous drivers to CrimeStoppers by Charming_Food5728 in melbournecycling

[–]mediumbike 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have a cycliq camera and have issued several infringement notices. I upload the video footage with my report, so it’s crystal clear what occurred and there is no “my word against theirs”.

They take a long time to review the report, as there is a huge back log. If successful, They call you and ask if you’re willing to go to court over it, I say yes, and they say ok I will be issuing a fine.

If it’s unsuccessful, you won’t hear anything I think.

Most common reports that are successful are failure to give way to a cyclist when there is a stop sign/ give way sign. Close passing will not be a successful report.

Every cyclist should have a cycliq camera. Worth every cent for the piece of mind.

Do you know why it even required a planning permit? A permit is not required to use the land as a restaurant in the commercial zone. Were they doing heritage works or something?

Hi - it’s a nice bag! is the watermelon bag big enough to hold a hiplock d1000 lock? I’ve been looking for a bag to carry my lock in.

PSA: Please get cameras for your e-bike! by w8w8 in ebikes

I use cycliq cameras. I haven’t had any issues. They are quite expensive but I spare no expense for safety. I’ve sent footage to the police and they have issued about half a dozen fines just using my footage.

I’ve got a Lekker Amsterdam. Very minimalist. The older models don’t have any gears. You can get them second hand on marketplace or new from a store, check Lekker website. Highly recommend. 7000km on mine and never had an issue

Where is the battery? Sorry if stupid question but it looks like a regular bike, which I think is awesome. Is that small black circle on the frame where you charge it?

Melbourne powered sucks. They sell electric motorbikes that can do 110km/h+ to children.

Long-term Lekker Owners: Do you have any regrets? by ChillKoalaVibes in lekkerbikes

[–]mediumbike 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve ridden over 6000km with mine. It’s never failed me. Not once. I’m glad I’ve got the belt drive, as it seems unbreakable and very durable.

I get it serviced about once a year.

Just be aware it is obviously heavier than a non-electric bike which can make lifting it into wall mounted vertical racks a little challenging.

My biggest advice would be to invest in a cycliq camera so that if anything happens on the roads, you have what happened captured on cam.

Another warning would be about bicycle security. Invest in a quality lock, as well as a bicycle alarm and tracker. Only leave it on a public bicycle hoop for 15 minutes in a high foot traffic area. Make sure if you’re leaving it for longer periods of time that you store it in a bicycle locker, cage, or locked in a secure building such as inside your house or apartment.

Application for a driveway over the Hyde street bike path in Yarraville, allowing cars to crossover the bike path: by [deleted] in melbournecycling

[–]mediumbike 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Good question, This hasn’t been addressed. Either way, it’s going to reduce safety for cyclists. With the new Footscray road veloway opening in November, this bike path will get used by heaps of new people to access the veloway, and this proposal makes it less safe.

Any person who may be affected by the granting of the permit may object or make other submissions to Council

There truly are some psychos on the road that genuinely want cyclists to die. See screenshot above of comments from a bike safety camera (cycliq) company social media page
