What has made you Angry Today???????

I have to let a bit of steam off, every time crApple releases another piece of shyte. My blood boils seeing new iPhones and iPads in headlines and newspapers etc... only then followed by other "less important news" like today, breaking news, new iPhone out, and then after that in other news man killed on the freeway. Media at their best.
When are people going to wake up and realize it's the same shyte but different smell. And theres morrons line up at the store camping like sheep waiting to get their hands on it... Seriously!

Touche !!!!!!!!!!

They are legally entitled to ride two abreast and take up a whole lane.

And every car on the road is one less cock head on a bike I have to worry about!

Yep, we cyclists probably should pay some sort of insurance/rego, when we reach 18 yrs old and are employed. I haven't been on the roads since I stuffed my foot, late last year but I found the worst drivers locally are old ladies and rubber necks. I took my life into my own hands every time I rode into town. (no I don't wear lycra) And yes I do obey the road rules. I just give cyclists lots of room. I reckon youse don't like the cyclists because you're jealous of how cool they look. :)

I respect the concept of riding bicycles. Better for the environment and all that, etc....Thats great!

But...

Unfortunately my road Eltham Yarra Glen Road was voted the best cyclist road in Victoria....A cut through road from the suburbs to the country. It's an 80km road with blind corners and plenty of hills....Christmas Hills!

It scares the ship out of me when you drive around the corner and there are 35 shaved legged cyclists sitting two a breast doing 10km an hour. This road is also a logging route for the Toolangi to western port logging industries and I watch trucks lock it up all day long and also forced to drop it down to a serverly low gear and have to start again up the hills.

We have also just spent multi million dollars on an awesome bike track following the Yarra River from Eltham to the City....An epic 30km trail along the Yarra river, beautiful scenary and far better enjoyment then driving along a diesel fumed road dodging traffic in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that they are doing anything wrong but it seems they are only riding on the road for an image thing in my opinion.

This is a dangerous road to be riding a bicycle!

You can see the sign as you leave Watson Creek....454 people have died in the last 10 years on that road. It's really not sensible for a train load of cyclists sitting two a breast.

Only my opinion but I would much rather ride along a quiet river side or even on our 4 million rabbit warren tracks from town to town.

Me personally....The real cyclists are the ones I see going from Christmas Hills to Hurstbridge along the dirt tracks....Awesome down hill decents, sharp corners, only dangerous by how fast you can go without sliding out and knee scraping....Much better than on a severley popular tourist route with truckies on a narrow windy and hilly drive with 87 blind corners!!!

If you cycle to work, good on you....Respect. If you are riding for a hobby and to keep fit, good on you but don't ride your bike on a dangerous road causing extreme frustration for motorist, traffic banked up for miles and they always act like they own the road...They have no respect in my opinion and believe they are the superior on the roads.

The Sunday morning after black Saturday around 6am when our areas were demolished there was no one around. My brother, my dad and I drove back to our houses in the hope they were still there after no sleep protecting other peoples houses.

No one was around but suddenly a train load of cyclists thought they would go for a leisurely cycle to rubber neck the place. I was a bit disappointed by that scene. Worst day of my life, people coming home to burnt houses and all we see is a town full of cyclists going for a ride as if nothing has happened.....No respect in my books!

Anyway's....My rant for the night!

I respect the concept but do not respect the attitude "some" of them have nor the mentality of their ways!

I give everyone room and respect as I car is not a toy and it is so easy to kill someone but if you do the wrong thing out of contempt for those around you then so be it!!!!!

Just say it ab.... Get off the road lol

Got in my piece of $hit ranger after work today to find yet another flat battery. If the door is slightly open the park lights stay on and the batt will die in under 30 mins so I just wasted 70$ on it putting in a dual batt setup ffs
