But the country’s second youngest political entity is still determined to make waves at the March 28 NSW Election.

The Party’s president and founder, Omar Khalifa, admits it’s surprising a candidate for Goulburn hasn’t been unearthed given the region’s passion for cycling.

Mr Khalifa said the Cyclists’ Party would issue one final candidates’ call before committing resources elsewhere.

The Party officially registered with the Australian Electoral Commission in August and earmarked seats held by prominent government figures as targets.

That included the electorate of Goulburn, held by Planning Minster Pru Goward.

The Cyclists’ Party’s core vision is to promote a healthy lifestyle, rally governments for improved infrastructure and raise awareness among motor vehicle drivers.

All three aims are possible regardless of candidates, Mr Khalifa maintains.

“It’s really surprising [we haven’t got a candidate], because Goulburn is such a cycling friendly place,” he said.

“There was a lot of promise and interest early on, but that hasn’t resulted in anything so far. If we don’t get a candidate, we’ll run someone in another seat.

“Cycling is seen as metropolitan issue, but it’s a big deal elsewhere.

I live in a regional area and I know our cycling facilities are awful.

“Regional cities often have as many challenges as metropolitan areas.”

In the 2009/10 financial year, 1300 cyclists were struck by motor vehicles. In 2013, 50 cyclists died on NSW roads.

“Often times the roads aren’t well maintained and there aren’t areas to stay off the road. When that happens, cyclists don’t get the room they deserve,” Mr Khalifa, himself a riding enthusiast, said.

“I think a lot of drivers have no idea what it would feel like to be on a bicycle being passed by them.

“We’ve done nothing really to educate drivers about their responsibilities. Waiting a few seconds behind a cyclist seems like a long time, but the alternative is that’s someone’s life.

“Many drivers don’t realise they are allowed to overtake a cyclist on double lines, when it’s safe to do so. They’re driving a lethal weapon.”
