I was at the SCG last night (a nerve-wracking win by the Swans), and when I returned to my bike to head home I found a leaphlet had been dropped in my bottle cage (and attached to the other 20 or so…Continue

He was also very good!
I've got a 200 permanent this weekend, looks like we are in for a few wet days to round off the week unfortunately, fingers crossed for a bit of respite on Saturday."

Rob Berry replied to Mark Lambert's discussion An idea : Let L platers record safe-cycling courses or group rides in their log books."The Japanese also ride bikes a lot and I think there is a fairly direct correlation between countries with high rates of adult utility cycling and countries where drivers are attentive and respectful towards cyclists.

Rob Berry replied to Mark Lambert's discussion An idea : Let L platers record safe-cycling courses or group rides in their log books."Because our adult cycling rates are so low plenty of motorists will never have had the experience of cycling on the road., so I'd be inclined to say make it compulsory for an L-plater to do a safe cycling course. There isn't the capacity…"

Rob Berry replied to BIKESydney's discussion QLD approves use of segways on footpaths [and shared paths]"A segway isn't an electric bicycle. I can understand wanting to expand the legal restrictions on e-bikes, I just don't think segways have anything much to do with that goal."

Where are our bikes?
Posted on May 5, 2012 at 10:36am 11 Comments 0 Likes
I think this one is a bit tough, so I will give you a few clues:
1. These aren't technically our bikes. We had to leave ours at home and rent these for the day but they did the job well, nice light aluminum hybrids with Shimano Alfine 8 Speed hubs.
2. We were about to stop for lunch…

Fiona wants a new bike, and what she wants she tends to get!
Her Breezer Uptown is great for getting her around comfortably, but after my debut in Audax she has expressed the desire for something a little more suited to longer rides so we can do them together. Unfortunately, there isn't much money to spend at the moment, so we decided it would be fun to try to do it a little cheaper, building it up ourselves using second hand components where possible - it should be quite fun…

This morning I was happy to be riding on a steel frame.
Cruising straight down Enmore Rd at around 40km/h on my newish Fuji Touring, I saw ahead of me near the Enmore Theatre a car on the other side of the road, stationary, indicating to turn right. When I was about 20m from the…

I got yelled at this morning because apparently I "should be in the left lane".
I was a bit surprised to be yelled at because at the time:
a. I was on Enmore Rd near the intersection with King St, so there are multiple lanes (and there wasn't another car for 50m in front of the person in the lane to my left who was yelling).
b. I was going around 30 km/h and maintaining a 5-10m gap between me and the car in front of me.
c. I was about to turn…

- Yep, but Mr O's post is less ambiguous and is clearly referring to a post which has been deleted and it is rather insightful into that poster's motives.

Except as I have just noted, he is invoking your name. Oh well, we just have to get him to delete his post as well.
Or, here's a good idea, Damian could do it!!
