[QUOTE="BT"] I've been here for 5 weeks now, with a 20km daily cycle commute. Since you're a captive audience (and I've only had 1 brief and unhappy motorcycle ride in that time), I thought I'd bore you with some observations on cycling in Melbourne.[/QUOTE] Next you'll be joining the ranks of Critical Mess^H^H^H^H Mass. Was doing my usual peak-hour King Street lane marginalising yesterday and gah! Mr Plod was all over the Burnely Tunnel like a rash. Turns out those passive, non-conforming, tree hugging, vegetable-eating, sweaty, bike-lane clogging, two-wheeled, latte-sipping freedom fighters were holding a "reclaim the streets" ride[1]. Mr Plod was there to divert them away from the tunnel to the nearest soy ice-cream vendor, and not to issue me an infringement. - sanbar [1] For all of those who are offended by not being offended in this crass stereotype, I apologise unreservedly.
