Life's safer on a bike
Received a email today from "46" It's a new campaign from the TAC , it involves a composite of TAC's previous ad campaigns to the tune of Powerfingers "These Days". I don't like Powderfinger, but anyway... From the site: It's 46 too many Don't become a statistic etc etcThen there's: What can I do about the hidden toll? But there's no information directly pertaining to cyclists - except for the injury calculator on the right; Ok, I'll type in Female, Bicyclist, 30-39..
28 people, just like you are injured on Victorian roads every year
Ok then, Female, Pedestrian, 30-39...
65 people, just like you are injured on Victorian roads every year
Then type in: Female, Passenger, 30-39....
251 people, just like you are injured on Victorian roads every year
Now, Female, Driver, 30-39.....
923 people, just like you are injured on Victorian roads every year
Yes, I certainly prefer to be out & about on the bike. Discussion on a.b

Stoopid me! My initial thoughts when reading 'Victorian roads' were 'That's a bit old fashioned' and 'I didn't know they kept statistics of such things (or had anything which counted as a car) back then' and then I realised what it was in reference to. Il Stoopido!

P.S. Sparks are the greatest band in the entire universe. Fact.

I have to say I've not heard any of Sparks later albums. I'm a sucker (but not one to be 'whomped', I hope) for their more guitar oriented work. That written, I like No.1 In Heaven. Maybe I've just not given their recent stuff a go and would like it if I did. They're definitely one of my favourites but there would be other bands I prefer a little.
