"You used the words 'tore' and 'tendon' in the same sentence. That sounds painful and undesirable. Good luck with the recovery."

"Including rego & CTP, comprehensive insurance, RACQ ultra cover, services, fuel, and washing, I've managed to get the car costs down to $180/month for the last 12 months and 5000km - thanks ebike.  That still feels like a lot of money…"

"If cars can turn left on a red, then on a bicycle I can slow down and do the same or cross the entire intersection, yes? "

"It sounds like one of those BS "some people say" conjecture that you'd see in an interview for Today Tonight. Absolutely baseless but on some moronic level still plausible. Remember everyone - be alert but not alarmed!"

Places that can service a Sturmey Archer internal hub

Hello,Got a Sturmey Archer CS-RK3 that's got a bit of a shifter problem. Bought it from a place in the UK and had For The Riders install it when they also supplied the shifter and cabling. It's been working fine but on the weekend it locked up a bit. The cable tension feels a bit wrong and with great difficulty I can get it from gear 1 to 2 but then the tension is so great there's no chance of getting…See More

"I chose not to argue as I was a few km from home by bike but would have had to go around West End and Coro by car in peak hour traffic. Plus w/o a carrier it would have meant trying to catch a maxi taxi. By arguing I would have likely received a…"
