"I was considering the Oaks myself actually. Well, Oaks up, Ingar, Ando's then Oaks down.
7:30am might be a bit of an early start for me this weekend though. I'll see how tomorrow night is shaping up though. If I can get there, I'm the…"

Chris Boardman weighs in on cycle lanes in the UK

Worth a watch - the "lane" in the vid is representative of my experience of many cycle lanes in the UK. Not surprisingly, I'd often decline the lane and use the road.…Continue

Not only will hunters in the national parks be firing off weaponry. They'll be firing off weaponry while rat-arsed drunk, a leaked government report has stated.…Continue
Thank you for not jumping the lights

For the second time in the last few months, I've had to have a "robust debate" with a cyclist who jumped red lights in a bike lane. I felt my hand was forced, since the light jump was accompanied by…Continue

Jason Brown commented on Colin's group Helmetless riders"I refrained from even touching that one. It's yet another browbeating with statistics of what happens AFTER you've had a crash.
No-one disputes that if you're actually going to have a crash, it's generally better to have a helmet…"

Jason Brown replied to Bernie's discussion You are invisible to (at least) every fifth car."I always say "ride big" in traffic.

Jason Brown replied to Bob Moore's discussion Battle of Booth St in the group Bike Leichhardt"By "bendy poles" do they mean the tiny little reflector things that everyone just rolls right over, or something taller and more substantial?

Jason Brown replied to Pat The Rat's discussion Spit Bridge Cycle Lane 'Too Narrow'"Everywhere on "the beaches" is a hot spot for drink drivers.

Jason Brown replied to Pat The Rat's discussion Spit Bridge Cycle Lane 'Too Narrow'"it's a bit uphill going North, as I remember - not entirely unlike Concord Bridge, which I ride more often - but you've got a clear runup.
I couldn't find a Strava segment for just the bridge, though, so I can't verify so far.…"

Jason Brown replied to Pat The Rat's discussion Spit Bridge Cycle Lane 'Too Narrow'""up to 32km/h"A very specific number, that. Sounds to me like Scruby still thinks in miles, and has converted 20mph for his magical press release. Which may provide some insight into the man.
In actual fact, 32km/h is not that fast, for…"

After looking at your website above (and link trawling from there)... I do believe we've crossed paths in the past.

Amazing how many people from that place I still am in touch with, and how many ended up getting into cycling!
