Apple are moving to automatically detect if you are driving, and effectively block messages to stop distraction. It's an opt in service, but it's a good start. IMHO if road safety authorities had any…Continue

I wish you luck with the cyclist complaint line..
My experience is it very much depends on the police officer you get. If you have a diligent officer assigned it will be sorted without fuss.

Your last point about Australia lagging behind.. I was discussing this with Stephen W yesterday. We tend to say things like more people are riding, and riding conditions are getting better. The problem is that we need…"
Big Steve replied to StephenW's discussion How was your commute - September 2017"Yes... front and rear... classic case of motorist chooses to overtake in the lane.. not that there was anyone coming the other way.. just because.

Big Steve replied to Fab from Tropicalm's discussion Who gets the "fume tunnel" treatment out there?"Yes.. petrol engines generate lots of emissions when they are working.. but they tend to be more smog/atmospheric pollution inducing.
Diesel on the other hand generates smoke rich in cancer causing particulates which tends to be strongly linked to…"
Big Steve replied to Fab from Tropicalm's discussion Who gets the "fume tunnel" treatment out there?"I don't think anyone can deliberately do it in a petrol vehicle.
However I own a diesel 4x4 manual. If I were to take off and change into a gear that's too high, and put a lot of throttle on the thing will pour smoke out. It's…"

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!

Julie Pesch said… Thanks, Super Steve :) Had a quick ride this morning - last for a week unless I can work a miracle! It was dark-ish when I left and my new sunglasses performed nicely as it got lighter. Love having good gear!

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
