Heh heh, yesterday was Melbourne's annual Around the bay in a day ride. More than 10,000 registered riders were there, and then some unregistered ones. So plenty witnesses. There were the inevitable horizontal trackstands performed, with after making sure the fallen comrade was OK, everybody would break into taunts.

And then there was the guy who on the ferry jetty leaned his bike against a pole, only to have the bike fall almost into the briny! His helmet went over the side, he had to go barefoot to rescue it. Gazillion of humorous taunts, of course. Aussies are particularly cutting in those situations.
