Hitchy Gold....at the big roundabout in Diamond Creek, I've let rip with a huge grot at a car that was passing after riding my ass all the way down the single lane descent from Greensborough. Shouldn't have left the passenger window open, champ..... |

Hitchy I've gotta admit, when I'm riding in bunches, some farkin cyclists P1SS me off just as much as drivers. The classic is that section of Beach Rd. near Charman Rd., and most of Station St., where there's a "reasonable" bike lane and only one lane for the cars. I figure if it's a smallish bunch that's only riding 2 abreast, then they can fukn stay in the bike lane and let the cars pass -- especially when they're only hacking along at 30kmh. :mad: :) |

Geez..the stories I could tell about that bloke. Not for an open forum, of course. :D |
........actually, the thing that annoys me the most is the ignorance of most drivers of the actual law......we are allowed to ride 2 abreast except when theres an unbroken white line!......the amount that give you a serve when you're actually obeying the law is unbelievable...they are all gutless though...I always motion for them to come back & we can 'discuss' their problem...they never do. I love it when they get caught at the lights though..........they ***** themselves

If you click your mouse 10 times really quickly, view the thread, then return to the "road cycling" page, you'll notice the views will have increased by 10. So, if everybody double clicks to view a thread, then double the views are being registered I have no life :) |
.....it's scary that you know this stuff!...must be something to do with hanging around with a cervello that smells like the fish markets!

124 bucks US for an Arione. Now my arse hurts more.

I get second hand Turbos for $10 at Bicycle Recycle.
John Kennedy sometimes lets people try out some of the low to moderately priced seats. |
You Aussies have been silent today! Are you all trying to catch up on your month's work before the end of the month :D Plenty of time for that, you're barely half way through!
I look forward to a daily dose of Hitchy! Something is missing, and my afternoon ride in 20 minutes just won't seem the same :( Never mind, the sun is out, and I'll be out in the country in 40 minutes, so I think I'll find something to enjoy about being out on two wheels today. |

Did you find out what sort of handle bars that guy busted when he hit the man-hole? I've had a couple of crashes that were caused by equipment failure (ever tried breaking a crank!!), so I'm pretty paranoid about that kind of stuff. |
