"My girls ride their bikes around the streets quite a lot: down to the park and to daycare (2km). I've been getting them to practice since they're about 3 so they've had a lot of riding. (And before that scooting.) Like you the biggest…"

KT commented on DamianM's group Commuting"Good on you Boom shankar. Now, I wonder whether the gruff dismissive bloke has time to read these forums ....
With cheap freight and the www the LBS without customer service isn't going to last long."
KT replied to sydneyCommuter's discussion Cycling faster than driving?"I never see the same car again riding to work in the morning through the inner west, it's likes a slow moving car park for the drivers only they're not looking for a park. Even though school's back again, there's definitely more…"

Family Cycling
Cycling with young 'uns.Talking about babyseats, trailers, cargo bikes, or anything vaguely related to cycling with children.
KT commented on DamianM's group Inner West"I swerved past a fairly large bunch of keys in the middle of the intersection of Railway Terrace and West St at Petersham. It looks like it fell out of someone's pocket as they were travelling east along Railway Terrace. I was past this…"
Grub replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"believe it or not, there was a motorcycle cop booking people there a couple of years back. I stopped and thanked him. Haven't seen anything since.
I live 200 yards from there and must be the only idiot that takes the long way around to get…"
Bob Moore replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"That Cowper St/Glebe St connection is interesting- it says No Entry so bikes are theoretically banned, but the paved area is a shared footpath. I think there was once a Bicycles Excepted sign there- it is on a bike route to/from the City. Another…"
Bob Moore replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"Dont give me any lip! Only a small thing, but big lips on driveways and ramps etc are bloody annoying.
Over to BikeSydney I think. Or put it on the CoS complaints form."
Duncan replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"If anyone does speak to the council they could also ask them to smooth the 'driveways' at either end of this section. Even on a mountain bike they give the body and and bike a pretty good shake at anything more than 5 km/h; on a road bike…"
Bob Moore replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"Similar to the bollards on the Bay Run at Haberfield- a real pain, and dangerous, with eroded edges on the footpath and a bumpy drainage grate. The ones above wouldn't stop kamikazi cyclists anyway, they could just go around the side it…"
Lauren replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"Same at the connection between Glebe Street and Cowper Street. I usually stop and stay back while hapless driver decides whether they want to drive over or not.

Bob Moore replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"Another way to approach this would be to approach the council about making it a 10 K shared zone ( or 20 K if this becomes possible) and usable in both directions. This would benefit local residents, particularly cyclists and walkers. If it is a…"
KT commented on DamianM's group Inner West"Magpie alert for Kensignton Rd, Summer Hill down Dover street end."
KT replied to Chris's discussion Bikes on the train in the group Commuting"I know someone who regularly takes a bike on the morning westbound, western line train and then cycles the second half of the commute (where there's no trains but a new cycleway!). This person boards the train in the innerwest and gets off…"
Dasher replied to KT's discussion rat-run drivers - what should I do? in the group Inner West"I'd speak to the council. You shouldn't have to dob in individuals, the council should investigate.

- Tell us about your bikes
- my "horsey": Diamondback Topanga. The "family bike" for carting a 2.5yo and towing a 4yo when she's totally out of juice.
my "pony": Giant NRS2. Dying to see some knarly singletrack, is made for so much more than kerbside jumps and dodging bins.
zippi: Brompton S3. The ideal commute between daycare and the office.
- About Me:
- Ducking and weaving past garbage bins and parked cars isn't *quite* single track riding. But it's the closest thing I'm gonna get - so long as I'm on a bike.

So you ran into Dave Campbell.
I hear he has moved but is still in Ashfield. I haven't seen him and Lisa for a while.
