"forced" to, eh? Is that that the same as cars being "forced" to overtake
unsafely because they're being held up by the nasty slow cyclist?

No, this is because the law allows us to pass but the RTA gives us no space.

Cars are specifically not allowed to.

Why is it so difficult for people to understand a simple, simple law?

"People ain't no good. They never do what I think they should. So people ain't no good..."

To think all those years ago, The Cramps had already sussed that one out.

In computery type usage, it makes sense -- you can't say "rooter".

Easy. The other pronunciation sounded rude.

Isn't it spelt "pronounce" for the verb and "pronunciation" for the noun?

The context was where you ride, though. And yes, I've heard them called
"rooters" -- by an American no less.

I can't fscking believe you guys are still discussing this. FFS, does
anyone remember the "What does Share The Road mean????" thread??????

Listen to Abby - he know everything:

1. If you have a shoulder to ride on, then fscking ride in it. Don't be
a d!ck. Even if its fun to p!ss off the crazy ute driver. Even if its
only a short distance.

2. If you don't have a shoulder, then claim the fscking lane. The
fsckers in the root-ute and the 'oh my god my d!ck is so small, what
can I do" Prado can wait behind you. Let them toot their big fscking
horns if they want, who gives a flying fsck.

End of story. I really should be Prime Minister. Anyone want to start a
party??

Cheers,
Abby (fsck I love Claratyne - give me some more....)

abby got his nuts back .. ...abby got his nuts back

An advantage of the ipod. I can hear traffic and useful sound cues,
idiots yelling are mostly drowned out or otherwise incomprehensible.

Not that I've paid attention to them anyway, life's too short to care
about strangers with issues.

Zebee

do you really ride in traffic listening to an ipod?

Abby, your doctor seems to have given you Floyd's Claratyne. Was it the
Balmoral team doctor?

Well Tim, as far as I'm concerned (and as far as commonsense dictates
amongst most cyclists), a shoulder as yuo describe (ie. strewn with
glass & ****, or a 'pseudo-shoulder' that is unmaintained dirt) = no
shoulder at all. So go back and read point 2.

Cheers,
Abby (ps. Hope the move has gone smoothly mate!!)

Well, I have developed this annoying urge to dump full bidons of water
over my head as I walk around the house. My wife is getting really
p!ssed off....
