Awesome. I bet they don't cover my specific strain that combines monkey aids and Hep A with ebola for a result worse than death.

Is that the strain you have? -
Yes, I've been dead for 5 days now.

"Mr Edwards said he isn’t anti-cyclist, and that one of his sons is one."One of his sons is an anti-cyclist? What a cnut!
"It’s only going to take one pedal to clip another pedal before somebody gets seriously hurt.”"
So he isn't seriously hurt? Carry on.
“I think they should pay something"
Like car rego? I do. Like car insurance? I do. Bike license? Yep, two of them, which costs more than my car rego. Bike insurance? Pay for that too. Now what does this guy think I should pay for again?
“I just think pedestrians should have a greater say because they have no say at all.”
Says a man who's got a full article saying things.

It's a shame there is no commenting on that article. The guy is a [censored]. -

Great untold histories of cycling part eleventy seven.
Good story. I reckon that's one of the first things I picked up on when I started racing veterans: assume that anyone could've been someone, no matter what they look like.
😄Imagine if this chubby guy rocked up to a local smash-fest. Someone would probably say: "get to the back, fatty, and don't run into anyone" :p

Nah, it was all dad's fault - he basically ignored the rectal bleeding for several years.....
Ah, fark!! 🙁
A friend of a friend let his [censored] bleeding go for only a few weeks before he went to the doctor (or so he says), yet the cancer had still managed to almost get into one of his vital organs (I can't remember the exact details). He's only in his mid 40s. It looks like he's gunna be fine, coz it didn't spread beyond the bowel.
I'd be the opposite, but I'm a bit loopy.
In fact, I had one of those "beetroot poo panic" moments a few months ago, because I knew I hadn't eaten any for ages. I farkin freaked!
I was dialing the GP's surgery when I saw the empty beetroot juice bottles in my mini recycling bin near the back door. I forgot that I'd had a stack of it before the previous evening's ride. -
Beardy man's beard is more impressive than I remembered. He may even have won a prize for it

Yep get it checked, cancer grows fast. One of my mates had a melanoma chopped off 25 years ago. He found a pea sized lump in his armpit just before last Christmas, and five weeks later it was the size of a golf ball and has since had a bunch of lymph nodes whipped out. Pathology suggests it was a derivative of his original melanoma. Lucky for him it was all contained in one lymph node.

Doesn't necessarily mean the rider is [censored] though. A crusty old cnut with a near chest length beard was in the same finish bunch as me on Saturday riding a bike with enough steerer extender to have the drops level with the saddle. Startled me when he came past me near the top of the last climb seeing bars that high out of the corner of my eye
Yeah, don't get me started. 😄 It must be at least 6 months since I've posted a pic like this.
Kiddies, ya don't (or ya shouldn't) need low bars to get aero. -

Hmmm. To state the obvious...again.... the purpose of vehicle registration is NOT primarily to aid the public with identifying potential lawbreakers. By that logic, many 'types' of people should display registration, such as kids on skateboards, teenagers walking late at night with hoodies on, city 'beggers', etc, etc
-
^ having said that, it really [censored] me when I see hardcore cycling commuters ploughing through people on the beach bike paths, just because they DARED to wander in front of them. "get out of the way! This is a bike path".
We have fark-all really hot nights when stacks of people are wandering all over the beach, yet, despite only having a handful of nights like this a year, some of these peanuts doing the Commuter Olympics still wanna hammer through crowds of people near the St Kilda foreshore at 40km/h

Hot. Is the rest of it in the same good condition? You should post it on here and watch all the Yanks spoof over itbikeforums.net947801 new improved hotrnot thread 77.htmlOpen ↗
Pretty much. A couple of parking nicks in the paint here and there but pretty mint for a 15yo frame. The paint is surprisingly tough. I was doing drunken circlework holding onto a street sign the other night waiting for the pedestrian mates to catch up and eventually went too fast and slammed the downtube against the pole. I was half expecting a dent but not even a scratch.
And it was a mates place. We were making furniture. He'd reupholstered that piece earlier. Shame you can't really see the curves. It's hot. [ATTACH]342.IPB[/ATTACH] -
I could clean it I guess, but it's a wet summer. What's the point?

The cop they interviewed shot it down. 'sporadic' incidents. Not endemic.
Still, the bloke who plowed into the old coot is a cnut for not stopping if the old coot is telling the full truth about what happened, which I doubt
