timothy.clifford replied to Michael O'Reilly's discussion Hand signals"Same. Saved me from getting hit at least once."
timothy.clifford replied to Andrew K's discussion Sydney Southern commuter information"Fixed. Kind of. Someone has filled the gap with some very dark asphalt. It's hard to see in the dark and still a bit rough. Nothing new for that bit of cyclelane.

When I can't use hand signals, I'll still try and use other body language to signal - like nodding my head to the right/left, nodding at buses who are…"

Reading the recent threads around riding the Royal National Park and compact cranks had me determined to test my legs in the RNP. Rain and wind, there was no stopping me. So armed with my compact cranks, I started unusually early. Straight away the legs felt heavy and the bike sluggish,…
