last Sunday, 4:30 pm or so, I got nearly collected by a car's passenger side mirror..... Mr Honda
Civic just had to change lanes right in front of me...... Every time I ride there is at least one
moron driver ready to take my life and/or limb...... and I am getting quite sick of it....... I am
sure many of you have experienced these types of events (or worse).
So I am thinking of riding in the mornings on Saturday's and Sundays only...... looking for a safe
riding time window......
Question to all:
do you consider riding between ~8am and ~9:30am on Saturdays and Sundays to be much safer (from
cars) than riding at other times during the weekend? I am trying to find a car-safe-riding-window
for all seasons down here in Melbourne and quite often it is still dark-ish in June-July-Aug at ~7-
7:30 am..... By 8am in the middle of winter it is normally light outside......
And another question: how safe is Beach Road, from ~Black Rock to ~St Kilda/Middle Park on the
weekends during 8am and 9:30 am? I generally only ride on my own, not in group (a personal
preference)
thanks in advance for any tips! Safe riding to all, watch out for 4-wheel animals out there....
