I can't disagree with that. The safest road on my run from Highett to
the city is the Nepean Highway. St Kilda Road can be a real nightmare.

Hmmm, all permutations seem to work in some form:

Am I alone in my alarm at the increase in reckless walking by
pedestrians? In busy, crowded inner-city streets, confronting (or
perhaps vague-wandering) behaviour by pedestrians is making life hell
for both cyclists and motorists.

my (least) favourite is getting confronted by sodding pedestrians crossing a busy street AT THE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTS AND NOT WAITING FOR THEM TO TURN GREEN

Drivers, peds (and us) are more and more thinking assuming that the law is defined by 'what i can get away with',
not mutual respect dor each others' rights and safety

Victoria St Richomnd where people of oriental persuasion have a background of far more 'organic' road rules continuoisly standing on the the raod waiting to cross. Im gonna get hurt by one of these people one day...

Well we purchased a couple Air Zound2's as a direct result of funs & games on Victoria St. I don't believe it's purely a asian problem, this shopping strip is full of non-attentive types of all backgrounds, either walking, stumbling around, or driving cars erratically.

Bike lane alert, Elizabeth Street, Richmond, bike lane towards city. Much broken glass in little piles btw Church & Hoddle. Don't like it?

that stretch is a nightmare and after a series of punctures over the alst few months i now avoid E-street. Vic St is a shocker for glass too. No i didnt mean it was a purely asian problem. Anyone is capable of it, the nature of that street just lends itself to much wandering about (Chapel, Sydney Rd, etc are all the same)

And don't forget Clayton Road - pedestrian's there are just plain crazy the
way the weave in and out between cars and trucks.

Since you are incapable of giving it why are you wasting everybody's time,
fuckwit? Since a troll is someone who sets out to create trouble it
inexorably follows that you must be the troll, not me, since I actually
contribute to the group and will continue to do so long after you've moved
on.

Gee I must have missed the vote when you were appointed spokesman for
this group.

You first lesson in manners follows,"It's impolite to call people
names & reflects more on the person making them than on the
recipient".

Next lesson in logic, "it will probably have the opposite effect to
the message you are incapable of imparting without abuse.

Second lesson in logic," if you don't like what I say, don't reply.
That will serve two purposes. I will get around to contributing
something usefull to the group & you can try & get over your anal
fixation with your version of netiquette.

If you can't help yourself & must reply, try & think of something
original. Your contributions to the group lately all seem to revolve
around the word "fuckwit"

I'll be around for a while, so GET USED TO IT :-)

Yes, DRS. whilst the rest I'll leave to you 2 gentlemen, can we please ease up on the more colourful stuff?

"someone who sets out to create trouble"

and you reckon that signature aint winding some people up?
Keep it for all we care but dont be so surprised when people bite

Off now to TT home to catch SBS.......

Was that meant to be sarcastic or are you agreeing with me?

Maybe if you used an emoticon your comments would make more sense ;-)

Then again, that would probably upset our anonymous DRS even more.
