Idiot. Whitford today!

Yeah and increasing. Lots of overtaking on blind corners etc and riders who go with a bit too much pace.

There are alot of guys riding around out there on big bikes with zero skills too. Anyone can be fast in a straight line......

Blah Blah Blah.

Plenty of places with a good view to overtake anything so I wonder why some people would ride like that.. The too much pace part I can understand. Some of those clay slips around the coast, and deceptively sharp corners probably make it the most dangerous 3kms on the route? I've also found that it's not a good idea to take the blind corners too close to the line, there are many cyclists enjoying their middle of the road journey's most days. Can you imagine clipping some poor push bikin bastard with your knee through there?

Ohhhhh, we are a happy bunch now aren't we????? Hope newbies to NZ get to see a better side of us bikers

Wow... Nice avatar...

biker died in clevedon and a fella i knew wrapped his car around a post at 150 clicks.. within the last year, and i have had to pull 5 bikes out of ditches...

alot of dumb overtaking by riders etc working in the region with full view of the road seeing the silly shit makes you wonder, its turned into the new coro loop in the last year, basically why i dont bother riding out there anymore...

Wow... I've lived there for half of my life and go up there every other weekend... I must be lucky to be missing all of this action!

Its not so much the riders doing dodgy overtaking as it is the car drivers. And I was mostly talking about Whitford/Clevedon/Beachlands etc for the dodgy overtaking. However yeah, seen quite a few spills due to excessive rider speed for skill on the Kaiaua loop.

you actually do need sometimes to wait until a car has overtaken another car until you can pass you prick

Yeah it's generally much easier to undertake in the "slow" lane of the passing lane these days

To be fair it does feck me off when I indicate for 100m prior to the lane to make it clear I'm keen to go first and the fuckers pull out and lane hog at 70 but as long as you made a fair effort to pass I'm with you.

Yeah, that is just fucking bullshit. I hate pricks that do it.
