Default Speed Hump @ Centennial Park - Update

Um, the speed hump is on the bottom of a steep hill.


It's fairly easy to hit 50 down there. It's also illegal, and potentially
dangerous for other people. If your brakes aren't good enough to control
your speed down there, you've got absolutely no ****ing business riding
down it, because there's no way in hell you'll be able to stop in time if
someone does run out in front of you.

Doing it in a pack at speed is worse. We've all seen what happens when the
front riders panic brake. I can't see a problem with a speed hump in a
30km/h zone.
