Donald Campbell replied to Maree's discussion Veloway - V1"I have watch less then 5 minutes of it but spot on!
The bit I watched involve an aligator that he claimed was 3meters long but when he held it up it was shorter then him!"
"Caveat: I've never watched the show but I assume this is the sort of thing he does."
"As long as it involved Mr Grylls grabbing a local bogan by the neck, reefing him out of his VN Commodore and showing him to the camera "he may have a few teeth missing, but don't be fooled, this little bugga can be DANGEROUS!""
Maree replied to Maree's discussion Veloway - V1"Oh my god, that's hilarious! If only it was Bear Grylls, and not the Courier Mail, the story would have been so much better."
Chris Cox replied to Maree's discussion Veloway - V1"I'm devastated there's not a Bear Grylls special where he discovers it... he could probably drink the urine of a lizard along the way, as a survival technique while trying to find where it connects to civilisation."
Maree replied to Maree's discussion Veloway - V1"It sounds so adventurous and romantic, doesn't it? The Lost Cycleway. Pristine pathway hidden by overgrown, waiting for an intrepid cyclist to discover its magic...
I'll have to check out mX today."
Doc Embrey replied to Maree's discussion Veloway - V1"... And part 2 of "The Lost Cycleway" in mX today ... a riveting tale of adventure and lost opportunity!"
Maree replied to Shaun Moran's discussion New Website for Everyday Cycling"Happy to be a buddy or case study, as a female who would prefer to arrive at destinations looking respectable. I'm also located on the Southside, which seems to lack a proportionate number of cyclists compared to the West.
Love the new site.…"

Maree commented on Raymond's blog post Footpathing Salisbury"I'm familiar with this area and agree that the footpath aren't half bad for cycling. But you're touching on the very issue that's really at the core - public and individual perceptions. They have so many too - it's too hot…"
Maree replied to Chris Cox's discussion Random observations"Is the map with the magpie hotspots going to be started up again this year?
I have to admit, I'm avoiding cycling to work because of it... less-experienced cyclist + bird phobia = no cycling

Oh, now I know why MHL drive you crazy...

Now I know why you all dislike the mandatory helmet laws... Today, I needed to get from the Valley to West End, meet friends, and then do the return trip. Money is very tight at the moment and a bus trip costs$2.24 each way (off-peak).
Then I had a bright idea - subscribe to CityCycle (costs $2 for a day) and make sure each trip comes under half hour so it's free. All up, costing me $2, as opposed to $4.48.
Well, reality set in when I realised that I didn't have my helmet…
My first aggressive driver

Well, I did the commute again this morning, boy it was definitely cold this time!!
And I have a first - I was aggressively honked at by an arrogant driver, in an SUV, of course. Seriously, why is it always the SUV drivers? Quite upsetting, really. It occurred just after a notoriously dangerous left turn from Turbot St onto Barry Parade. In fact, pedestrians have been hit by idiots coming around that corner too fast. I was pedaling hard trying to safely get over to the left side of the…

This morning was the first time in a long while that I cycled into work. The trip takes over an hour so the behind is rather sorry:-( The ride home will certainly be even less comfortable...
