If they pass these absurd laws I hope cyclists get out there and claim the lane as is their right, and remember that it is illegal in this state for a car to pass within 1.5m of a cyclist.

Qld e-bike users say commute time could 'roughly double' under new laws

E-bike advocates say new speed limits, set to come into effect from July 1, go against current guidelines and could create unsafe situations.

@Unixbigot I'd be okay with something like that if they also halved the speed limit on all roads 😂

The fact that this would never happen, juxtaposed with the fact that they seemingly think it makes sense to do this to cyclists makes it very clear that the authorities in queensland do not take cyclists seriously.

@renardboy The conservative government in this state is entirely the puppet of business donors.
