"Sydney pedestrians are people that carry the "motorist" mentality while on foot."
The same could be said of many Sydney cyclists.
For those of us who are not psychopaths (and use all modes of transport), our priority…"
Jonathan replied to PeterT's discussion How long does it take you to get out of a rut ?"But the attitude remains. Motorists aren't really pissed off at cyclists, they're just pissed off in general. Cyclists are just easy targets for aggression.
Next time someone starts complaining about cyclists, see how easy it…"

Jonathan replied to Rob Berry's discussion Olympic cyclist victim of hit and run in Sydney"The assumption that a track cyclist only rides on the track is generally a false one.

robflyte said… Hello Jonathan, you mention in a post recently that you ride from Baulkham Hills to the CBD, I'm planning a similiar ride soon but only as an occassional ride as I work elsewhere.
So I live in Baulkham Hills near Jasper Road Public School, where is it you join the M4 and where through Parramatta do you ride? I'd like to go a way that has been tried and tested rather than pick my own way through the maze.
Thanks in Advance.
