Running your clea down his door is hardly going to make him more bicycle friendly though My standard response to "sorry I didn't see you" is along the lines o "that's right, you didn't see me, think about why not or next tim you'll be explaining it to the Coroner" -- ProfTournesol |

Torgo ...[h]e copped a mouthfull of abbuse and a jolly bush oyster Torgo on his windscreen. Oh wonderful. And what exactly did that achieve? Think he's going to be any more vigilant for cyclists in the future? After what you did he'll probably /aim/ for them. Torgo ...so i decided to tell him that masterbations is not exercse Torgo enough for his fat arse and ran a cleat down the side of his Torgo door. A master stroke. So now this motorist reckons that cyclists are vandals. Well done indeed. Torgo I know its over the top but having many a motorcycle accident Torgo this way it ****es me of to no extent that the majority of Torgo drivers dont see or dont care about anything on 2 wheels, Torgo hell even if i was wearing a chrismas tree all flashisng and Torgo **** they would still say "oh sorry mate didnt even see you" Damned right it's over the top. Your actions are also criminal. Look to your own actions before you dare to criticize others. Behave irresponsibly and you generally get irresponsible treatment meted out to you. Grow a little bit of tolerance, road awareness and get thee down to an anger management course for good measure. Maybe I'm just lucky. Maybe I cycle 250 odd km a week with nary a problem because I'm blessed. Or maybe because I look out for myself and co-operate with motorists instead of treating them like the enemy. -- Cheers Euan |

There are sooo many Chapel Streets in Sydney. Regards DJ |

There are sooo many Chapel Streets in Sydney. The Chapel St in question is one of the busiest shopping strips in Melbourne, especially the section between Windsor and Sth Yarra. I live in the general area and ride down Chapel St a lot. The sheer volume of traffic means there's bound to be some morons. Every so often I notice one on two wheels. -- A: Top-posters.

DJ ...is as bad as Torgo says it is, surely there could either be DJ an alternative route or he just has to be a little more aware of DJ his surroundings......it's well within his best interests DJ really!! Precisely. I generally only cycle down Chapel Street when I'm going to the market or some such. Between Highett and the City there are far more pleasant and safer routes. When I do cycle down Chapel Street though, I cycle at a reduced speed and watch out for everything. Sure the law may say that I can barrel along at up to 50 km/h but the road conditions don't allow for it so I don't. Just as there are motorists who think it's their god given right to travel at the speed limit regardless of the conditions of the road, there are cyclists who think the same. If these motorists and cyclists slowed down and paid more attention, they'd not only live longer, they'd be under a lot less stress to boot. -- Cheers Euan |
