Live near Kensington/Flemmington?

Hey Jason, Welcome back! (Hi Hielke, Cory and Nick) We could do a ride on Sunday morning (or arvo), with breakfast/brunch/coffee. The weather forecast at this stage is for a dry day. If you like Nick…

Poor form?

Most of us older riders have had a fixie when we were kids. Remember the old dragsters? Ah, the memories! As for taking off at the lights when you're in a bunch, as a courtesy to my fellow cyclists,…

Live near Kensington/Flemmington?

How wonderful! Already we have a small group in the vicinity. I concur with Cory about the speed. It's not about going fast or slow. The main thing is getting with like-minded people and enjoying the…

Live near Kensington/Flemmington?

Hi Jason, welcome to the land downunder! As it happens, I live in Flemington, ride around 30-40k at a time, and only ride on the road (I'm well and truly over the bike paths / going off-road). I'd be…

Wishing you a speeeeedy recovery, Trundelbug. There is too much hate in the world, and much of that towards us poor maligned cyclists, and so I cannot accept your hatred as a "normal" condition, particularly when your judgement is obviously impaired…

Sounds like a nice ride Accordion. Is this open to all or just "bad mothers"?.

Pete Roadie replied to Steve Jay's discussion 'Favourite Bike Shop?'

Pete Roadie replied to Steve Jay's discussion 'Favourite Bike Shop?'

Pete Roadie replied to Steve Jay's discussion 'Favourite Bike Shop?'
My experiences with bike shops have been varied. Generally, most bike shops (carrying the varying brands) have provided good service. One has been by far exceptional, another completely appalling. I live in the inner metro and so go out of my way t…

Alex, chill out dude. You sound like you're working yourself up into a lather. I'd like to think that we are all on the same side here. Nowhere did I say to "not comply" with any directions from the respective vendors or centre management. In fact,…

Pete Roadie commented on Leanne Cole's blog post 'Crappy cafe'
Hi folks, when confronted by vendors or centre management not friendly to bike riders or giving poor customer service in general, the best thing is to move elsewhere. Voting with your feet (and making your experience public knowledge) is the most p…
