    No, but it was, that's all.

    The laws are fairly clear on a cyclist overtaking on the left, but never enforced. Cyclists pretty much go about whatever they want to do with bugger all attention from the police.

    Cyclists live on a moral high ground that the rest of us can only aspire to.

    It's all but impossible to reason with people who think that the two laws on helmet usage and riding on the footpath actually cancel each other out...

    The SAME reasoning dirt-bikers use ... to ride their bikes on the grass verges ... beside the road ...

    People regularly jump out of cars on Murphy St. when the traffic is stationery.Also school girls cross between the stopped traffic.Another hazard to watch for when splitting.
