Melb police on bikes!

As much as I like cycling, I wish cyclists would spend some time driving
in a car -- then they would realise how hard they are to see -- and when
they behave oddly, zigzagging across roads and going through red lights,
would understand why car drivers get upset.



Now that explains why on my recent bunch ride (75kms) that on 5 separate
ocassions cars approached the bunch blasting the horn and yelling abuse
out the window. Yep, those "P'" platers love to poke their ugly square
heads oiut those windows. I guess all these kind folk were just
celebrating the high degree of visibility of the bunch! Derhhh!

I reckon the 4WD who accelerated hard toward a couple of riders blasting
the horn was just trying to get close enough to confirm that yes they
really are cyclists. You gotta pull your head outta yer $%&* and have a
look at the number of cars without 2 functioning headlights, and the
number that run the red lights. If you spend some time in inner city
Melb you will see up to half a dozen run the red at a time!

Dear troll,

99% of cyclists I know are car drivers.

True.

Matter of fact, I can only think of one other individual in my age group
who is a committed cyclist & DOESN'T have a car, besides myself. And we
probably are both complete freaks. But I do have older siblings who
are petrol heads, makes up for the stats
