Phillip Mercer replied to Big Steve's discussion In The News - June 2017"So there is an article on news.com.au titles "Why does everyone hate cyclists?" I don't want to click on it if its a genuine hate piece but am curious if it is tongue-in-cheek... Has anyone already clicked?"

Gavin B said… Steve,
I might take you up on your very kind offer to try and set my new clipless shoes up properly. Are you around on the weekend? I am happy to ride to your place, of course. Or, if you prefer, you can come to mine in Newmarket. Please let me know!

Anna Graham said… Hi Steve!
Just wanted to say thanks again for showing me the way this morning!
I've had another look at the map and it's all seeming a bit more familiar now.
Let me know what you find out about the lights.
Nice to meet you as well :) :) see you later in the week.

John Nightingale said… - Good onya, Big Steve. The CBDBUG is working hard on the difficulties of commuters from the inner north. If you're inner inner you might be one of the few lucky ones inside the chaos of the airport link construction etc. If you aren't on the BUG email list yet, send one off to convenors@CBDBUG.org.au
