Default Speed Hump @ Centennial Park - Update

On 2006-03-22, Kimon (aka Bruce)
was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:
Could they have made it any higher? For f*ck's sake.

It's not going to take long for somebody to break their neck when they
fly off it at 80km/h.


That would be dumb of them then, wouldn't it?

Speed humps are designed to encourage you to slow down before hitting
them. Thank your lucky stars they aren't bollards, which seem to be
designed to stop your bike instantly (and catastrophically) when you
commit the smallest of mistakes.
