I think Michael was joking. Good analogy about the domestic tho. While we are being frivolous, an amusing anecdote from an ambo buddy in Canada... 'Victim' under arrest for outstanding warrants feigned unconsciousness in an attempt to avoid jail.…

Thanks John. The pair I got on there now are Rocket Ron Schwalbe. Your right, I can't be bothered changing wheels and tyres. It's better to have a small fleet of bikes for different purposes and I suppose more interesting. I am a notorious spendthri…

If you are unsure about the content or context of a submission, have a look at previous one's posted on the Staysafe Website. many are simply one page comments. Some say very little & the submissions you expect to have some substance have little con…

That sounds much cheaper that 'sit ubu sits' finding for $7 per day! $20 per month is a really good deal. Sounds so good you would be inclined to buy 5 years worth and then sell when the rent go up keeping one for yourself. Are you sure you don't me…

"Hmm.. I don't really think not having enough people to book everyone is the same as relaxing MHLs. Most people that drink drive get where they are going without getting booked the vast majority of the time. That doesn't mean drink driving rules are…

Have to agree with Paul. Would be like the Police turning up to a domestic assault & telling the victim "I'm not going to help you today because the Police told you to leave the offender last week" and to Michael O, if the Ambos breath tested you, I…

Great story Alexander, I hope the rooster has croaked & doesn't keep crowing to wake you. I have hit a pre retirement break from work & really do miss my commute. I am a lazy sod & although I miss the 4.35 am run from Northmead to Granville to catch…

Yes, I ride up Bourke St to work and the first day the cycleway was accessible to me there was a tree lopper/mulcher parked in the middle, the second day there was the usual charming white van parked diagonally, the third day there was a vehicle unl…

This is available now in Parramatta for $20-00 per month. Unfortunately, you have to prepay & set up an account, but for that you get swipe card access, a locker, access to hot showers & a toilet. Separate ones for each gender, ( only 2, male & fe…

Yeah, that's a good thing about cycling. It's pretty much affordable for the average joe blow to have 4 or 5 bicycles all for different purposes. Or all for the same purpose? 4-5 motor vehicles are not affordable. Above average MTD, ROAD, Whatever…

Ironically, our new building in Nth Sydney has 4 Bicycle Lockers directly opposite our entrance. They are painted a drab beige colour and appear to be operated by Nth Sydney Council. I didn't notice these lockers until about the 3rd week I was in t…

Been there. I read up a lot about tyres: Schwalbe this and Schwalbe that. And eventually just went with whatever the LBS had on the shelf—although some good LBSes may have Schwalbe on the shelf. I didn’t get new wheels though, just tyres. I never g…

My suburban cycling commutes into the unknown...

It’s 0500 and my alarm just woke me. It’s raining outside and I can hear a rooster croaking nearby. I start thinking to myself that it was just over a week ago that I would wake up at 0620 usually when commuting by car. I would drive in my car, banana in one hand, iphone in the other using Shazam to advise me of the songs names on the radio so I can download later off Limewire. It’s qui

The long road to Brisvegas 4

Well after much work and trying like mad to not go out and eat to my heart's content with friends at every opportunity I've managed to lose 5kgs in 3 weeks and getting the cycling miles up a lot with the help of Audax :)

Two weeks ago I did a 150km ride from Hornsby out through Kurrajong, Sackville, Pitt Town and back over 6hrs. Tomorrow I'm doing a similar route hopefully in a slightly better time.
