"Cool, but I wont be getting one until they are completely mirror glass and have a cylon scanner. "

"Same. Katmandu gloves on special  (dont pay full price as the place is a bit of a rip off). Mine are quite thin but, even so, they usually end up in my pocket after 15 minutes. Good for taking the bite out of the cold until you warm up. I have…"

"Sarah, sorry to hear about the hard time you had. Not a great experience at all ...   however, I checked out Yakkay helmets and they are really cool !! ... so I'm glad you posted. I am going to see if I can get one too as I agree -…"

"I live in Winston hills (not that far away) and have never heard of the place. I (occasionally) MTB a few of the local tracks and around Lake Parramatta, but never realised there were tracks around Castle Hill. Maybe I should check them out before…"

"Sounds a lot more reasonable"

"$1.7 Billion ... hmmmm. Coincidently, the same amount BOF removed from the state's education budget. If governments have a few billion just lying around, I know what I'd rather see it spent on. Personally, I couldn't care less about…"

"I always say "ride big" in traffic. Stand up in the pedals often, splay your arms out, don't be afraid to take the entire lane. Make big, obvious hand signals. Wear something loud, and preferably reflective. Make eye contact with…"

"I'd rather ride in places where it doesn't make one iota of difference what the hell I'm wearing... just like when I go for a walk at night. When I'm riding or driving, I seem to be able to spot dark-clothing wearing unlit…"

"No, not the 'good' ones... just the 'bad' ones... ;)"

"The number quoted is an average across the population of cyclists, and not the odds faced by various individual cyclists.   ie a recent night test indicated a cyclist with a good light set, reflective hivis, and reflective elements on the…"

"You could just try leasing them out. There was a demand expressed on SC some time back for rent-a-kids. Nice idea. I'd like to call them The Unsullied. But watching them, just now, demolish the contents of our refrigerator, then leave…"
