My Bike, MY BIKE! A Dingo has MY BIKE!
My tightarse single speed was stolen a while ago. It was actually my favourite bike. It was stolen from the front of my local boozery on busy Fitzroy Street in St Kilda. I was bloody angry at the time.
Last Friday about 1215 or so, I was sitting in a truck, in heavy traffic in Chrurch Street Richmond near the Swan Street intersection when a ghost appeared.

Bring on Spring!
Spring is in the air - let's hope the weather holds up - Commuting in Spring, for me, is the best part apart riding.

You cant judge a Brooks by it's cover!
Well, I'll be buttered on both sides! After a few years of listening to others extolling the virtues of Brooks saddles, I have only just worked it out.
Now, out of the box, I didn't mind the feel of the Brooks. The ride was firm but fair. It's taken me about 500km of tweaking of the bik… Continue

Mmmmm.. Melbourne Bitter - I could do with one now !
Hmm, nice flip flop hub too.
Don't often see them with a freewheel or sproket on the other side though.
Clean and shiny!
Good luck with the sale, Stav.
She does admit at 4.37 that she has PMT though.
I still don't understand why the Melbourne buses don't use this system.

John Lake said… - Anne,....no that isn't me in that pic. It's the guy who won that race. He was the oldest competitor & blitzed the opposition. Fit as a Mallee Bull.

Bicycle Polo is a fun came, sort of a cross between horse polo and hockey, most importantly involving bikes :) If you want to read more about it, the first place to start would be wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_Cycle_Polo or our flickgroup http://www.flickr.com/groups/melbournebikepolo/pool/
However, reading about it is nothing to playing a game. We play every sunday, 2-6pm Carlton Gardens on the car park next to the royal exhibition building. EVERYBODY is welcome, no matter what experience level you have in cycling.
Bikes people ride are anything between fixies to old mountain bikes, the main recommendation is to ride a bike you don't commute on everyday and doesn't cost too much as a few bicycle injuries sadly occur.
There are normally a few minor stacks, but bad injuries are rare, the exception so far has been "TheCaptian" who accidentally put his mallet in his front wheel while just riding around, before we started a game. Generally it is a safe game, people play to their level confidence.
Hope to see you there sometime soon, it is a highly addictive game and bunches of fun :)
