But, when I'm riding on the open road I keep up my end of the deal by staying as far the fuck out of the way as I can. Whatever the motorist do is up to them, many show me equivalent courtesy.<br /><br />Riding a bike with sensible tyres helps me do my bit to share the road. Most "road bikes" I see out there are set up as what is better described as "road racing bikes" and judging by the way they are ridden are unfit to share many of the roads out there, their pilots unwilling to risk a puncture or be subjected to the rougher ride over on the side. It would be like driving a Formula One car on public roads and having to drive all over the place to avoid every little bump and hollow and think this is ok. <br /><br />If you can't ride within a couple inches of the painted line when traffic is passing, or better yet, move off onto the verge if it is just the occasional car, it's probably because you have succumbed to the fantasy that you are riding in some grand race that everyone around you cares about, or should care about, and that the people in the cars lining up behind you should feel privileged to witness the spectacle. <br /><br />Fuck the Sleepy Hollow club, and their honorary members around the world.cehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506942063484875229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-29384378857391603052014-05-11T22:10:37.489-04:002014-05-11T22:10:37.489-04:00babel-

So many drivers don't give us enough clearance, and I refuse to scrunch up on the very edge of the road just so they can speed along on their merry way.<br /><br />babble onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895102832912891306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-40702083370768366042014-05-11T09:50:30.162-04:002014-05-11T09:50:30.162-04:00I thoroughly enjoyed metal detector guy's vide...I thoroughly enjoyed metal detector guy's video, but I reckon if they gave him a TV show they'd ruin it by trying to make it more TV friendly.<br /><br />I rode some epic new gravel today, a beautiful old winding rural road named "Ridgelands Rd". Unfortunately I was riding in my Land Cruiser work ute, not on a bicycle. <br /><br />Well, maybe it's a good thing I was on 33 inch mud terrain tyres and steel ladder chassis, as apparently 26 inch wheels and aluminium frame on epic gravel would most likely have resulted in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, of the scranus.<br /><br />I did pass a cyclist earlier while still on the tar. I slowed right down and was all courteous and shit. Dickhead was riding down the middle of the lane and wouldn't move over. No wonder people hate us.
