Because so many Australian drivers are actively hostile to cyclists.

You misspelled “murderous Psychopaths”

I know several people who believe that might-is-right on our roads and consider cyclists to be a “burden on society since they don’t pay fuel tax.”

The tragic irony is that some of them ride motorbikes and don’t see the hypocrisy of their opinions.

For me it's because almost nothing is within an hour's ride. My drive to work isn't far, but it'd be a 90 minute round trip on a bike.
