New to the group (live in Petersham)....wondering if there are any organised recreational rides in the near future?? Used to commute every day but over last three years have only done a couple of longer rides (Syd to Gong etc)....hence fitness level…

    Postcard from Brisbane

    Well this is long overdue....

    Hi everyone, and Merry Christmas, I hope everyone has been having a good one!

    The two months I've had since moving out of Sydney at the beginning of November has been probably the busiest time of my life. Between my main work project, a couple of others that didn't get finished up before I left sydney, recruiting, house hunting, moving, Christmas and running the website for a little boat race I've barely… Continue

    Totally offtopic musings on customer service and reputation

    Some recent events have led me to consider issues around reputation, and more specifically online reputation.


    I believe most successful proprieters of service based industries realise that some people do have bad experiences, for whatever reason, and it's how we deal with this that shapes our reputation.

    I believe that every negative can be viewed as an opportunity.

    I believe that most disatisfied customers can be turned into a loyal advocate with something as simple as an apology or an offe… Continue

    My big news - moving on

    I hinted at this with my status message the other day - I have some big-ish news.





    We (Sammy and the kids and I) have decided to leave Sydney and move to Brisbane.....yep, shocking. I wouldn't have predicted it myself a few months ago.

    I've got an opportunity to tra… Continue

    So proud of my little boy

    So on Sunday we headed to Cenennial Park for a BBQ with some friends. Miles (who has just turned four) was going a bit stir crazy having been inside for a few days so we decided to take his new bike, and I rode mine over.
    So, despite the wind, which was savage, Miles has now ridden his first lap of Centennial park! and is very proud of riding four kilometers when he is four.

    Creak

    Don't you hate it when your bike develops a creak ?

    Mine did this week, somewhere on the left hand side of the handlebars. It stopped if I took my hand off the brake hoods, so I figured it was there. Nothing serious, I thought I'd spend a few minutes this weekend to check it out.

    So Thursday night I was riding home from work....creak....creak... getting pretty annoying but whatever. I hit Enmore road, and as I accelerated up the hill past a car I felt the bars move a bit.

    "Ahhh, the stem need… Continue

    Hah, what if it was, would you feel bad for laughing?? :-P That was my imaginative alteration to the cut n paste to preserve what little anonymity I have left.

    Hello! Just thought I'd drop in to wish you the compliments of the season and all that. How's life treating you all up in Brisbane?

    Hello - saw you back on the bike on Wed! Glad to see you are better.

    You must have been coming back from Centennial - I was quite jealous. I didn't manage to get out all week, you picked the only decent morning:)

    Hey Damian
    Sorry for my rants on that thread. I'm never so hostile to fellow cyclists. IMO they are just a lobby group and they don't belong here. Anyway, thanks for closing that thread. Good idea...

    G'day Damian,
    Thank you, but no honour involved. I breathe and perspire like everyone else. A few people I know are part of this and have been pushing me for a while so I thought I would take a first hand look.
