Val and Faith face a chilly morning in the studio while their planned guest waits in vain for a train on the Chelsea train station platform. We share our bike moments before taking a look at some recent news. In November changes come into effect that mandate reversing technologies for all new vehicles, including trucks, starting November 1, 2025, with a full mandate for all new models by November 1, 2027.

It is one of a suite of measures that include separating vulnerable road users and education campaigns. Is this something Australia should be considering? We finish with a reminder that the Critcal Mass Will Richter Memorial Ride is on this coming Friday, leaving from the State Library at 5:30pm and that the Bike Film Night is coming up on Tuesday.
