  1. An early start to the season, great. They normally mate in late winter
    and usually lay eggs soon after ie late august and this is when the
    attacks start.

    I nearly got killed when I got nailed a few years ago on a training ride
    out near Lismore and this bird hit me with such force that it skewed my
    helmet right off the left side of my headand reefed my sunniesso that
    they were hanging precariously off my nose and I had to grab them before
    they hit the deck.

    Anyway, was intently watching this vicious suckers every move when I
    turned around and see that I've drifted onto the wrong side of the road
    with a ford falcon boring down at me at about 100. Never take your eyes
    off the road when under magpie attack. They could cost you your life so
    just keep pedalling and hack it.

    If only I still had a quick release for my D lock, some magpies need a
    bit of a clobbering to bring them a bit of perspective..
