heather said… If you truly feel that strongly about seat heights, you could politely say something like, "Hi. Do you know that your seat is too low? I could fix it for you now." Afterwards hand the person a flyer for Adelaide Cyclists. Become an advocate to make cycling for enjoyable? However, think you are expressing a frustration.

Martin, looking at the packed bike on the post about cycling anywhere. Had thought I would never be able to pack lightly enough for an unsupported lone tour. Can you remember your gear to describe to me?

Hi Martin,
You say you ride mainly around The Hills. Do you ever cycle to the CBD. Would you like to join Adelaide BUG which I coordinate? In a fortnight having a lunchtime meet-up for coffee in the city.
Cheers, Heather

My discussion was closed, hence this comment here.
John Rau, Attorney-General, recently stated that there is nothing he can legally do about the Eugene McGee case. Nick Xenophon said otherwise.
On Wednesday 14-Dec-2011 I received a response from Nick Xenophon's office.
I have posted extract from LEGAL PRACTITIONERS ACT 1981 - SECT 82 at
http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/lookforcyclists/forum/topics/legislation-1
Please read (2) (a) A charge may be laid under this section by—the Attorney-General; or
8 (a), (b). (b) is satisfied that the person is guilty of unsatisfactory conduct,
Make your own decision as to if you will write to Rau or other politicians. Keep any letter cordial and factual.
