Sydney Cycleways - Article day after

I have always found it funny how some Politicians just cannot admit they are wrong. Following on from yesterdays article of how internal Government documents did say the cycleways were in the right locations, were doing what they were spose to be doing and were guided by the roads department (RTA) the Minister just can't admit he is wrong.

To top it all off there was also this very interesting editorial as well today.

I wonder if this is the reason why cycling policy has been removed from the Roads Minister and moved to the Transport Minister?
