00:05This is kind of our last chance for everyone to show their public opposition.
00:09More than 100 e-bike riders and cyclists braving the Story Bridge in Thursday peak hour traffic
00:16to denounce sweeping proposed e-mobility reforms.

00:3210km an hour speed limit on all footpaths.
00:36It's proposed that should apply only to higher pedestrian zones.

01:35Last year we saw over 6,300 injuries come through the emergency departments.
01:40Transport Minister Brent Mikkelberg says the government will consider the recommendations around what it says are nation-leading reforms.
01:50Parliament returns next week when it's expected the legislation will be debated.
01:54The fight is not over once the committee report is released.
01:57The fight is not over once the committee report is released.
01:58The fight is free.
01:58It behaves like each other.
01:59It can also be argued if someone questions.
01:59The conditions do not exist anymore.
