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

Poor child has club feet.

Seems like a good way to get more kids run over

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

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

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.

[Urano]

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?
