What anti-motorcycle things has he done in the past 4 years? and what
anti-motorcycling things does he have planned for the next 4?

Isn't this the guy who is strongly anti footpath parking, and has a stated
policy of removing or at least strongly reducing the numbers of second hand
bikes on display out the front of the shops in Elizabeth street?

strongly reducing the numbers of second hand

That'd be awesome. I can never get a park there coz of all the bloody
bikes!

 

Would that be a bad idea? I don't associate footpath parking with the
motorcycles on display outside the bike shops. I think removing all/some of
them would be a good idea too. It's a bloody pedestrian nightmare trying to
walk past the bike shops when it's busy, especially when half the pedestrians
are carrying helmets and stuff also. Oh and they take up all the available
footpath space so their customers to park elsewhere

sure its motorcycle parking hes on about, or shop owners extending past
their limits, ie if a fruit shop decided to place tables on the foot path
would be the same thing?

 

Nah... I just ride onto the footpath anyway
