Declaring War on Cyclists: That’s what Daniel Meers from the Gold Coast Bulletin’s been doing.
He recently wrote an article calling for a police crack down on bad bike behaviour and suggested bicycles be registered.
But he also labelled cyclists as arrogant road hogs who are a law unto themselves.
Daniel’s comments prompted a heated exchange on social media.
Sara Carrigan is an Olympic road cycling gold medallist and operator of a learn to ride cycling school on the Gold Coast.
She spoke to Tom Forbes who asked her if Daniel’s comments were warranted?

Tom also asked Daniel if he was surprised by the response to his article?
