(let me know if the link doesn't work - I'm technologically challenged today...:) Continue

Spent the morning riding `in` my new bike seat in complete safety by doing 100 kms on the veloway to Willunga and back plus detours on adjacent paths...wonderful but really ought to be able to be and feel as safe on daily road commutes... but that IS a stretch!

Clive Palfrey Ring my bell

I find it quite remarkable that so many on this group dismiss bells on bicycles. There may be occaisions when it is too dangerous to move your hand to ring the bell but perhaps the bell should be fitted in a place closer to your hand or perhaps you are not riding in a safe manner. We complain about motorists breaking the law who in turn justify their actions and decry all cyclists but cyclists seem to think it's perfectly understandable to break the law and disregard simple courtesies. Anytim

Andrew (Wombat) Wright Life post cars...

I just want to preface this blog by saying that we have not had a car since June last year when our last car was taken off the road.

From time to time on a day off I get to sit in bed and enjoy a cup of Jo with my wife. We sometimes read and sometimes surf the web and always chat about what we are into at the time. This morning Jewlz reminded me that we were supposed to be heading to Croydon Park (we live in Mitchell Park) for a friend's birthday party this afternoon and so I started th… Continue

Angus Kingston Project: Apollo bicycle build


I picked up an old fixed fork Apollo mountain bike over a year ago. It was in 'electric green'. I've stripped it down and resprayed it 'volcanic orange'. I don't know what the plan is from here. I could just put it back togeher, it could become a fixed gear or I might even turn it into an Xtracycle cargo bike... or just give it to Bikes for Refugees.Lessons learnt so far. Don't re

Jim Woods All good!?

The insurance company today agreed to replace the bike with a new one... subject to the policy holder meeting all their compliances whatever that means and whenever that happens.
Great news I think.

Jim Woods No news as yet of my bike replacement through insurance.

I called in to the bike shop yesterday to ask of any news of bike from insurance co. none yet.
What I have found disappointing is that there has been no inquiry as to the state of my injuries or recovery by the driver.
All the bike shop(who have been supportive) have heard so far is from the policy owner, who it appears is the father of the driver, making a claim as to the salvage of the wrecked bike, due to his extra and high premiums.

More examples of `human nature`
