On the Sydney Manhattan Bridge, there's security guards wearing hi-viz vests ( only two last night, one at either end) and survellience cameras, like, every ten metres (or seven/sixteenths of a fathom American).<br /><br />So many riders salmon on the Sydney Manhattan Bridge, salmoning has become the norm here! The path is narrower and in a greater state of disrepair. The approaches to the Sydney Manhattan Bridge make the photographed crossing in NY look like Tokyo's Shibuya Station intersection. Here, there's a couple of short sharp steep and awkward ramps at one end and stairs at the other.<br /><br />As I automatically avert my gaze when confronted with a topless rider, I can't report with any accuracy on the prevalence or otherwise of semi-nude cycling on the Sydney Manhattan Bridge, but I can relay the sad news half the commuters here wear spandex and are fully Freded up. <br /><br />The preponderance of voluntary wearing of the helment on the NY Manhattan Bridge simply beggars belief! Australia is one of the very few places on earth where the law demands one wears a helment while riding a push bike and to have our civil rights campaign to have this discriminatory and racist law overturned derailed by fey New Yorkers is very disappointing.<br /><br />In solidarity with the oppressed cyclists of Australia and New Zealand (they're our Canada), I suggest whenever you see a cyclist wearing a helment in America you hit them forcefully so as to precipitate a fall, thus proving the number of resulting head injuries that would have been prevented or lessened by the wearing of a helment would be so low as to discredit the bigoted mandatory helment wearing law ethos. <br /><br />Thank You.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-91287022111790357522014-05-21T18:44:48.169-04:002014-05-21T18:44:48.169-04:00holy freaking crap that video of the guy being run...holy freaking crap that video of the guy being run the heck over is terrifying. <br /><br />good god what are you people doing up there? <br /><br />hope they create some very clever torture/death scenario for the driver once he/she is convicted.
