This morning (10 January), an open letter written by 11 former Adelaide Festival leaders who support the reinstatement of Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah to the Adelaide Writers Week program, was sent...

To the leaders, builders, advocates, and riders who shape our industry: I’m writing because I care deeply about where bicycles — and electric bicycles — are headed. We are at a crossroads. The decisions we make about language, power limits, and definitions will determine whether Class 1 e-bikes remain accepted as bicycles — or get...
