Though I've bounced off a few cars over the last 25+years of riding,
I've only ever damaged myself landing on the road.

I know of several folks who have been seriously injured while riding on
bicycle tracks, including a fatality.

I don't think bike paths are as safe as you believe.

They don't put unpainted bollards in the middle of roads, thank ****.

Just mucking great potholes.

And concrete slabs sticking up a couple of inches.

And sunken pipe trenches on roundabouts so as to concentrate
signalling,braking (with one hand because signalling),one or more
pinch flats and dented rims, and damn near being run over because it
is night and the entire area is unlit so said signals are hard for
drivers entering roundabout to see.


Yes Burwood Council I am very definitely looking at you.
