Got shouted at again by a warden on Pyrmont Bridge (MUP). As I approached him, he yelled 'slow down, slow down'.

Now, there is a problem on that bridge with cyclists hooning over too fast. I'm supportive of measures to get them to slow down. And that's why I take it nice and steady. There was no one in the vicinity, and I was probably doing about 10km/h.

He then called out '5km/h speed limit'. (That's about 3mph). Now, this is odd, because (aside from the fact it is actually quite hard to ride that slow) the area is clearly marked with 10km/h speed signs.

So I stopped, and queried the warden about it. He was adamant that it as 5km/h. I asked him about the sign, but after at first refusing to believe me he told me that 'it was wrong'.

I was a bit annoyed about the whole thing, to be honest. It's quite clear that the wardens are shouting at all cyclists, regardless of whether they are riding irresponsibly or not. If you are on a bike, as far as they are concerned you are going to fast. Period. And the fact that they clearly don't know what the speed limit actually is (he looked very confused when I told him about the signs) hardly inspires confidence.

That kind of spoiled an otherwise nice ride. Oh well.
