New Zealand's first (?) cycling magazine - The New Zealand Wheelman - launched in 1892. Its opening lines, complaining about the treatment of cyclists by drivers of horse & carts, asking them to 'concede a foot to the cycler', remain familiar today.

'Tuga i praznina': Prijatelji maturanta stradalog pod nadstrešnicom u Novom Sadu
Vukašin Crnčević bio je maturant kada je poginuo u padu nadstrešnice Železničke stanice u Novom Sadu. Njegovi prijatelji za RSE govore o tome kako se suočavaju sa činjenicom da njega više nema i podsećaju da, godinu dana kasnije, za to još uvek niko nije kažnjen.

Športni fenomen: leta 2012 prišel iz skokov v kolesarstvo, zdaj zre proti ekipam WorldTour
Za kolesarja Adrie Mobila Primoža Rogliča lahko rečemo, da je fenomen. Iz smučarskih skokov je presedlal na kolo in po vsega treh letih že zre proti ekipam, ki so del znamenitega Toura in Gira.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.
