Each weekend upto 10,000 cyclists ride along beach road in Melbourne. One particular group called the Hell ride attracts crazy road racers riding at upto 60km/hr - running red lights. One rider in the group ran a red light and hit an old man crossing the road. The cyclist was unhurt and the man died.

This is an example of a few cowboys messing things up for the rest of us.
A reminder to everyone - obey the rules. There are now calls for cyclists to be licenced and reckless riding charges increased.
