Those aren't pictures from Brisbane.

In places where biking is well established as a way to get around, people think they don't need safety gear. But, when a city doesn't have a lot of bike infrastructure, cars are going to be constantly driving way too close to bikers.

This is an image that's actually from Brisbane:
