I cycle in Sydney. It is not easy. I avoid all main roads. I found suburban streets OK, although the bright yellow shirt & the rear-view mirror are still very important.

That's exactly my thoughts too - how the hell could anyone leave a injured person? The excuse given in a lot of cases is that the other party involved more often than not is in a state of shock and not thinking coherently. Hmmm, yeah, right.

On sale at Aldi this week: Oregon Scientific ATC2K
Finally got around to buying two, one for moi & another for a friend. I just haven't had the time to sit down and fiddle w/ it yet, or indeed, find a spare SD card. From the specs it mentions 32mb internal memory that's expandable up to 2gb. Is there any capacity to expand on that or not worth attempting?

- Chris,
I will be there on Friday probably attend after work. Tossing up whether to ride from Abbotsford or not. Do I need to book with you, it could get quite crowded in the cafe.
Looking forward to Friday.
Jack.

- Hi Chris,
is this the same Melbourne Bicycle Film Festival you were promoting for the Human Powered Cafe or is it a different one.
Cheers, Jack.

Wondering where is the best place on the site to look for a group to go road-cycling with around Laverton/Point Cook area.

Thanks heaps for the welcome.I get down to Melbourne a bit (not enough really) Last time i was down i took a heap of photos of various cycles and their owners and did a spread in Bicycle Network.Your town was made for cycling!! We will be coming down in two months (Jail for our puss again !!) to tour as many bike shops/cycling cafes to promote and post up posters for the Canberra Vintage/Classic ride. The human powered Cafe looks like a good start. Possible to catch up for a chat when down ?? I can also post down some posters to you if interested?
Cheers
Trevor
