I don't want to link to it because of the names differences.
The GPS comes with some windoze software on a cd, not…"
Da Munch replied to PeterT's discussion Cateye enters the strava fray""can you tell me more about their anti-slacking mechanism ?"
No, never used it.
And Chris be careful unplugging the USB cable, it's easy to rip off the yellow silicon cap thingy at the same time"
Da Munch replied to PeterT's discussion Cateye enters the strava fray"Yep, work fine. Some points to consider;
- I use this on linux to download the gpx files for upload to strava
- the screen tends to get a bit misty from the inside in weather like this, so not water proof
- can't get another mount for mine…"
Da Munch replied to Ben's discussion Motorist hit and run on cyclists then boasts about it on Twitter"Went through this last year, didn't claim bike damage but claimed personal. Firstly I'd go with getting legal advice as suggested above but if you don't for the personal side of…"

Da Munch replied to Kylie's discussion City of Sydney proposal for Wigram Rd, Ross St intersection, Forest Lodge"There was a video posted on here a while ago asking who the bike infrastructure was for, was from the UK. It showed the some very bad bike infrastructure for getting around a round about, what they are proposing reminded me of it.
I'll send an…"
Da Munch replied to Martin Geliot's discussion 1.5 metre minimum safe passing distance"As JP has said Safe Cycling Oz has an e-petition going for Queensland and there has been mention of Victoria having one as well. I'm not overly sure what an e-petition is but what I do know is it's a particular site, has to be sponsored by…"
Da Munch replied to Kylie's discussion City of Sydney proposal for Wigram Rd, Ross St intersection, Forest Lodge"FWIW the differences I* can see/read are to save others sifting;
- CoS median has no paths through the median for cyclists to cross Wigram
- BS has cut bicycle lanes through the median on CoS plans so that Wigram can be crossed as per CoS DCP
- SC…"
Da Munch replied to Bruce Robertson's discussion James Craig Road intersection with City West Link in the group Inner West"There was a police vehicle parked (blocking the path) on the west side of JCR near the intersection this morning. A cruise liner was in at white bay as well, not sure what they were doing there but looked like they were setup for observing the…"
Da Munch replied to PeterT's discussion Rollers!"Given that the Tour de France/Ashes/Lions Tour are all going to be on around the same time and the later and probably the one before that are best enjoyed with beer, I'm thinking that if I have any win fall gains I'd be best to get a…"
Da Munch replied to PeterT's discussion Rollers!"I think PM has already mentioned most of this but out of interest why would you use one of these compared to a normal trainer?"
Da Munch replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"Your right about the bike logos, I'd only noticed the arrows, which aren't that confusing from my point of view as I never go the other way and neither do cars.
The shared zone sign with 10 shouldn't be that confusing to anyone though…"
Da Munch replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"It's a one way with a contraflow bike lane. The contraflow bike lane is used by peds going both directions, I would think mostly due to how badly the shared zone has been designed and drivers like exhibit a.
The whole road should be paved to…"

Da Munch replied to Andrew's discussion A blog: Why are those who assault cyclists not usually prosecuted?"Wondering if there are grounds in Queensland for a class action by cyclists against the state? Due to them not providing facilities and laws where others who have been found to be driving safely can kill you."

Samsung, I am not spending money on your equipment and since I'm the guy at work who upgrades all our machines that's a fair whack.

Bob Moore said… - Looks like the plan will go to council on Tuesday night , as part of the traffic committee recommendations. If we get a few along to show Councillors there is concern then they may refer the plan back for more study etc. 7 pm the meeting starts, they can bring forward items so shouldn't have to wait too long.
