RRR is obviously full of wankers, which is why this stage of the path has been finished for ever. keep an eye out for next stages! FYI a delegation from across country are here next month to hold conference on this issue, b/c tsv is leading in q with this initative. can't do much about bad drivers, xcept scrape their paintowrk with your full metal pedals. as a dutiful pub servant I must inform you that council has been continuing to seek funding and bit by bit upgrading bike pathways across tsv, so that there ARE safe places to cycle.

People don't care about anyone else - it's depressing. I mean, if the cyclist that they're getting cross with (for doing nothing wrong) was their son/daughter/father/etc... they wouldn't be acting so foolishly would they?

To some extent I agree cycling is safe. I often Take a lane of traffic when the bike lane dissapears. This means that the motorist have to tke account of you they cannot ignore you entirely. You only have to put up with people honkig an yelling at you. I think that one of the biggest dangers is the parked car that opens a door about a meter infront of you. Nice to see your alright Tom.
