He's back!!!
If your riding up the Great Western Highway near Linden NSW, there is a
crazy magpie just near the watertank which is about 1 km west of the fruit stall. He chased all the way from just before the water tank to Linden railway station and contacted 5 times. Watch out for him. Ken |

Ken I keep a near full bidon and squirt them as they fly in for the attack, one or two squirts are all that is needed to discourage them. |

In the absence of a magpikely.com, here's a heads up for any Sydney riders
travelling south on Anzac Parade Maroubra. The magpie is in the trees by the road after Beauchamp St, just south of St Spyridon College. It attacked me repeatedly, hit me hard twice on top of the helmet. I haven't got much hair, and would have been badly gashed but for the helmet. Just one more reason to wear a helmet I reckon. -- beerwolf |

Apparently he has a well deserved reputation as an anticyclist. Maybe he's practising for a "journo" job in the tabloids! First time I've actually been pecked was along there last week (chased me from the station past the water tank), and I saw a haplesss rider getting done over on Saturday. Bloody thing would hover just above him and repeatedly dive into his back. Made me glad I had been wearing a backpack! Funny thing, I've only ever been attacked on road, never when I'm out in the bush. Suburbia must drive birds mental as well... Tony F www.thefathippy.com |

A rabid, testosterone-crazed magpie has far too much intelligence, integrity and common humanity to be a tabloid journalist. -- beerwolf |

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea: First time I've actually been pecked was along there last week (chased me from the station past the water tank), and I saw a haplesss rider getting done over on Saturday.

Doesn't get much more rural. Probably drives them bats too. -- TimC Stapp's (of Murphy's law fame) Law: the universal aptitude for ineptitude makes any human accomplishment an incredible miracle. |
