Go here if you are interested in signing a petition about the NRMA's comments on cyclists.

And pass it on to your cycling friends.

I thought this letter in today's Herald summed things up well:

The NRMA's failure to condemn unequivocally Thursday's road-rage incident is extremely disappointing ("Games hopeful hurt in bike-pack smash," May 9).

Instead of taking the opportunity to stand up for law-abiding road users it offered a ready-made excuse for the next driver who chooses to take out his resentment on cyclists. No cyclist enjoys training on busy roads, but in a city of disconnected cycle routes - routes whose construction the NRMA itself, in the case of the Epping Road cycleway, has criticised - riding in an early morning bunch is often the safest option. The NRMA should lead efforts to reduce congestion and the tendency to use cars as weapons.

I cancelled my NRMA home & contents insurance yesterday and moved it to Suncorp - saved over $150 a year too! When asked why I was cancelling I told them in no uncertain terms it was due to their attitude to cyclists.

Apparently you can get your motoring assistance thru RAVC who have an agreement with NRMA to service RAVC customers within NSW.

Adrian, I've reposted the petition on bicycles.net.au

That's right Mike - I also cancelled our NRMA membership and moved it to the RACV

What was the cost differential? What are the differences in benefits?
