Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[gloplg]

That'd be paradise!

Pizza, pizza, pizza

Pizza, pizza, pizza

That sounds like personal experience to me PT

Anyway on to the important things for today. Grey day but that means no sunstrike and warmer clothing, see you at BK.

Hope you guys had a great ride today, didn't see the post til I got home, I took off about 9:30am and took the (now running sweet) bike for a ride to hanmer. Was raining when I left and arrived back but Amberley north. Lot of folks around, bikes, cops, cars campers....wow some fun stuff dodging in and out of traffic! It was soo great to be back out on the road..ty Cruza

Looking forward to next weekend!

Yes thanks Jen, four of us had a very nice lunch and an equally pleasant chat session. The ride was slightly damp on the way over but that's what we have wet weather gear for. Akaroa was glorious as usual.

Look forward to the vid

Here is something you may have seen in Governors Bay.

Cyclist playing power games. Does that push anyone's buttons???


20 seconds or so of vid.

The rest of the video for the ride is coming.

I felt like that old guy in Ashburton who follows his squad round velodrome on a motorbike

Nice action - boom bang goes the encoder

I don't think she was playing power games, I think she's just dumb!

p.s. you need a better horn, especially for that kind of situation ...

Was she swerving back into the middle of the road again after you had passed her? Need a longer video to see for sure but it sure looked like she was trying to get herself taken out by the second motorcyclist

Where in this vid does the cyclist action happen? I cant find it.

Yes PT I agree the honda, like most bikes needs a better horn. I would prefer a railcar horn which would "blow your Knickers off" however it would need a v8 to power the compressor to drive it. I'm thinking of air horns, which would merely cause laundry problems with your nickers rather than removal of them.

Having watched the video a number of times, it is after I start sounding the horn that the cyclist moves further towards the centre of the road.

That's because I posted the short version just for you Alex.

[Subike]

send this vidio clip of the cyclist to the minister of police,
This is an axample of why our road toll is so high.
I was the second bike behind gloplug when passing this courteous road user
she moved closer to me as I was passing, I was almost over the center line.
This was happening less than 50 meters from a blind downhill 35kph tight left hander on a narrow section of road.
A vehicle coming the other way could have created a potential serious situation.
the woman was traveling at 55kph and accelerating!
she was only just in control.
