I bet if they painted a motorcyclist on their bike instead of a child no bastard would slow down at all. Wankers.

There's a few new speed bumps round Christchurch too

Where the soil has liquified it comes up through the ground like a little grey sand volcano.

Some of these are under the seal - you cant see them, but boy you sure do feel them.

There are some good examples on the Akaroa Rd near Halswell

And then there are the reverse ones - where the road has been taken away :no:

Poor child has club feet.

Seems like a good way to get more kids run over :blink:

Might work for pedophiles - they'd slow down and try and pick the child up.

you'd certainly be able to pick them out at the docs... with the road rash an' all :shifty:

At first, people will swerve out the way, probably collecting something else, or slam on its brakes, getting rear ended...

Once they get used to it... yeah, I reckon the real kids could easily become skittles :mellow:

Speaking of speed bumps, I love the fact that I can ride fast over them and barely feel it in comparison to being in a cage.

ya, it happens to me too...
you just need to reach the ballooning speed over the earth's curvature.

Indeed. There's a real trick to it, with standing on the pegs and bending knees and elbows as the bike goes over the bump...

would you stop faster if it was a naked lady lying across the carpark? or a box of beer?
