You could become a pro rider. But then you'd have to complain about having to ride in the wind and rain all the time

well yep, that's true, I could complain about the cold this morning.... but by 10am it was fine. 20 degree days is good, 3 degrees in the AM is a bit much.

You should come down to the Fitzroy/BP ride tonight!!
This weather means that the numbers should be right down, so I'll have the guts to get up the front and mess it up with the bike shop boys

Must be the Spanish pronunciation. B's and V's sound berry much alike in Spanish.

Set up on the cycle path taking cyclist speed readings , be intersting to see what happens , its a speedy piece of path with pedestrian use.
Over here a bike isn't considerd a viechle , though iv got to say they are selective,no helmet, riding accross a cross walk,running a red light,no lights or bell on the bike,no singnaling ect will attract attension from the police, all common sence scenerios, phones should be banned also.

So are they taking readings, or photos? 9 months at the Infringement Processing Bureau, and I can't name the equipment they used in NSW.

If it was NSW, I'd just chalk it up to the government's eternal quest for more revenue. Since it wasn't a camera, maybe they were just just bored?

I'm only doing a couple of FNWTR races later this year just to get primed for the summer season, so won't need a bike just yet.

I bought a track bike when I was racing juniors. Rode it for a sum total of 600m on the road and then sold it to buy Campag SR dereilleur set instead!.
