Good story Si. Let me share mine.
On a bike tour in Turkey last month, one morning outside a hotel whilst getting tready to depart (with my buddy) I left a (her) $700 camera in its bag on the back of a motorbike parked next to the bike. We rode abou…
I did not get the address from Adrian so am not going.
The whole discussion is fascinating. Good on you Mark for backing down to the extent you did. And a great cartoon Kylie.
I have yelled at people on the SHB for having no lights. Perhaps I should not on the basis that I am far from perfect myself. O…
I am reminded of some towns in Switzerland where kids are not allowed to cycle to school if they live under one K as there are only a few hundred bike parking spots.
Here shock jocks have the pollies frightened. Pollies are cautious to suggest prog…
I used to use the bush trail. But I only wanted to go towards Hunters Hill and not Gladesville.
But I was in a big hurry one day and just stayed on the roadway. Since then I just ride on the road. It is far from satisfactory and not advisable.

For the last few years, as a protest at this pathetic offering from the RTA, I have been riding on the main roadway on the bridge. It is actually ok but eventually the risk will mount up. It is fast and the RTA offering takes forever.
To answer you…
Peds are our allies even though some self appointed spokespeople try to present it as not being the case. We do not want to take space or safety away from peds.
As much as people like this troll piss me off, it is what we get with a free press. Along with shock jocks. But I don't see them having an impact. Bike use continues to increase. Also, Australians are not so stupid as to read and accept his comments…

- About Me:
- Another guy on a bike. I have been very fortunate to have had viable cycling opportunities over quite a long period. I rode to primary school from a farm outside of town and cycled a lot during high school. I went to SU in the early '70s and had a bike there. By the mid 70s I had discovered touring and spent a few years around Australia plus did a 6 month trip overseas. In the 80's I cycled a lot. But in the 90's I was looking after teenagers and the mortgage so did not do much. From 2000 I have been back into it and loving it. Always looking for touring companions for 14-18 day trips.

I am currently developing an idea for Nth Sydney from Milsons Pt around Clark Rd and along Kurraba Rd as far as Wycombe.
Have you discussed this with our North Sydney people? Several from that group have been trying to get that route on the bike plan for some time.

♫ Kylie said… - haha yes! I just looked at your pic on your profile instead of the usual thumbnail and realised. Did you recognise me at the time or are you just a smiley cyclist type? I was stoked to get such a friendly grin just for being on a bike.

ratetheplate.com.au is definitely the site and it was definitely working last Saturday. Probably just a technical issue, although it's still out now.

Krishnakumar Venkataraman said… - Wow, that is awesome! Well, I used to bike back in India, but that was more to commute than as a hobby :-). How come you have an indian connection?
