This riding thing is fun when you do it enough to manage the hard
bits.

As the Italian motorcycle has Japanese Electrics Problems, I am
bicycle mounted only.

I'm learning a lot more about the Burwood/Strathfield area, because if
I want something then it has to be cycled to.

I definitely notice the 'bent being heavier than the Brom, and I also
noticed I haven't been riding it as much as the Brom - my 'bent legs
were a bit underpowered! But I gradually remembered how to relax and
use the bum more and all was well.

Biggest hassle on the 'bent is coming up to intersections or
roundabouts and bloody drivers who should have passed in time for me
to keep my momentum up have to slow right down for a stickybeak!
Meaning I have to stop. *******s.

Discovered a weird underpass today. Under the railway line right
near the old Bulldogs stadium. Weird because I have no idea why it
exists. It is wide enough for cars, but isn't usable by them,
bollards and kerbing in the way one side and a mucking great stadium
on the other. I suppose it might have been in use before someone
dumped a football pitch in the way.

It's also alas not that much use. Yeah I can get under that line, but
it's just after the freight and passenger lines split so to get to my
place I still ahve to do the steep (and pinched so cars have to wait
or pass unsafely) trip over the Albert St overpass. BUt continue on
past the underpass and you end up with quite a nice easy run over the
Loch St overpass before the line branch so all was well.

Getting to know your local area is a good thing. Especially in this
bit of Sydney which does rather a lot of the up and down thing. Down
I like, but alas what goes down has to go up eventually....

So has anyone been doing any discovery lately? Anyone even riding
their bloody bikes?
