Almost unbelievable someone would do this. They are punishing him firmly for it.See More
Martin Geliot replied to noelbike's discussion Ranking different parts of the country for cycling."I find driver behaviour in Melbourne to be even worse than in Sydney.
These days I rate riding off road (principally country) as a real pleasure, but also rate riding on-road in urban/suburban as not much fun at all due to ill behaviour."

- 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.

- Unfortunately we don't get to do a lot of riding together these days, wot wiv kids'n'all, though occasionally we have managed a tour interstate (Tas, NZ -- not quite interstate, but you know...) or closer to home. Quite a few BikeNorth rides go right past our house so we sort of feel included!
