all those women riding about, no lycra, daggy bikes. Not cyclists, no way! Never happen in Oz. Can't have people riding daggy bicycles just for transport. Zebee |

Can't have people riding daggy bicycles just for transport. Just down to the shop? In normal shoes and everything? Nah, real cyclists only ride in bunches, on Sundays. Not good publicity in Perth ATM, a ped got hit a week or so ago on the South Perth foreshore shared path, subsequently died. Theo |

A tourist who was standing on the bike path with a group of tourists who then scattered as the cyclist tried to go around them? Anyway, it has generated the usual calls in the letters to the editor for registration of cyclists so they can be identified (although in this case I believe the cyclist did not attempt to flee or hide his identity) SteveA -- SteveA |

Apparently the tourists scattered at the sight of a mad cyclist bearing down on them and one jumped the wrong way. Theo |

FYI, I'm inching closer [1] toward importing and selling cargo bikes in the style of the Dutch "bakfiets" (as featured in PeteSig's postcard from Amsterdam). http://www.townbikes.com Very daggy bicycles for unreal cyclists to use just for transport. Unashamedly built somewhere other than the Netherlands, so I can sell them for a whole lot less than a genuine Dutch Bakfiets (eg http://shop.cheekytransport.com.au/s...?idProduct=32). Also considering the option of old-school upright "city-bikes"... single-speed with coaster brake, or hub-geared with drums. Chain guards, mud guards, kick stands. Not compatible with lycra. Again, priced to suit their target usage, as basic local transport. Hopefully I'll be able to finalise prices and start taking orders within a couple of weeks, for the cargo bikes at least. tim [1] at glacial pace |

hi
err ... re your site ... you've got some dud html in there mate and mailto: is not really "robot safe", try using this instead script type="text/javascript"document.write('a href="mailto:' + String. fromCharCode(101,110,113,117,105,114,105,101,115,6 4,116,111,119,110,98,105,107, 101,115,46,99,111,109) + '"enquiries /a');/script of course that'll need scripts enabled on the client end In article , tim wrote: On Nov 22, 5:16 pm, "PeteSig" wrote: Can't have people riding daggy bicycles just for transport.

I guess those br / tags are a bit unauthodox, but they've rendered okay the handful of times I've looked at the page. Tell you what, I'll fix them. If it makes you happier for knowing, I'll be using a CMS when I get my sh!t together and set one up. and mailto: is not really "robot safe", try using this instead Meh. It's a disposable address, and my t-bird is pretty good at picking the v1/\g3ra spam from real mail on the other dozen or so addresses it sorts through. Thanks for your concern, though. I'll let you know when I have some bikes to sell. tim |

Can't have people riding daggy bicycles just for transport. Zebee I wheeled my Giant Cypress City (with rack, panniers, lights, kick-stand etc etc) commuter bike out the door of work today into a sea of lycra. The local cycling club meet and leave from the lights near work. I was in a work T-Shirt and black jeans (it was cold today... normally that'd be shorts). Many many 'looks' (presumably because I didn't fit the lycra demographic) LOL G-S |
