Wail snap looks like Princess Road just north of Alexandra Park, these days
not a good place to stop in the wee small hours without some serious
back-up.

I've taken the "cross" to uk.transport off as I don't want to start the
plainly unfeeling tosspots up again.
But, aren't some of them utterly brain dead halfwits?
A view confirmed every day by the stupid behaviour I see every day I drive
or cycle.

But it does speak volumes about the mentality of one person who would
use an incident like this to condemn millions of motorists, of whom few,
if any, would condone such actions!

The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands,
and when it gets old and shabby a woman can dispose of it and get a new one.
