So what is it with some cyclists overtaking others on the inside?

Annoying -- and dangerous -- is what it is ... twice today! The second one nearly clipped me because I was fading left to get out of the way at the lights ... Is it OK to (politely) say something to these guys (they're always guys)?

Linking up the bike paths

Opinion piece in The Age today about linking the Darebin Creek trail to the Yarra Trail.

Nasty crash on the Boulevard

I saw a guy on the Boulevard this morning who had come off on one of those tight bends ... ambulance attending. Does anyone know him? Is he OK?

Are you still working on the Clearways palavar? Was wondering what are your thoughts on the Eddington guff as stuff is really starting to get going in the inner north.

Apropos the Scwhinn - have a look at older steel set ups - the forks curve forwards to a greater extent and I reckon, provide a sweeter 'ping' on bumps and jumps.
