what a funny thing to see..

[Rashika]

I was on my way to work on my bike..
okay so it was pedal power, not motorised (doing the fitness thing you know ) and I was heading down the no-exit road next to Hillmorton hospital here in chch, heading toward the motorway.
A motorbike wizzed past me (GN250 i think or similar) and I watched his light fade into the distance, thinking to myself at the time.."oh he must work at the hospital, I'll have a nosy as i go past the car park....hmmm...hes not stopping there....hmmm wonder where he's going?...."
The the light vanishes for 5 seconds and then reappears.....
But this time I'm cracking up cos...
he has taken the pushbike underbridge under the motorway in front of me ....and I thought...WAY COOL MAN!
Yep checked when I FINALLY got there (damn it is a long road) and there is definately enough room to get a bike (admittedly not too big a bike) through the space....damn handy!

so now filing that little bit of interesting info away for future reference

thats a bit naughty.

some dude on a pushie will be coming the other way one day and your gn-riding freinds ancestry will be duly commented upon, rest assured.

[T.I.E]

i like it.
nice work and i take my hat off to the rider.

a real rider will make his own roads.

some years ago there was an alleyway pst work that was a shortcut into town. It had one of those galvanised pipe barriers to stop cages and the like from driving through or whatever and we had a Honda Melody as a delivery type bike . I found that if I practically sat in the foot well of the scooter I could zip under the barriers as long as I kept my head down and save a couple of minutes when I stole it to get my lunch. How irresponsible

yeah I thought that too at first... but then i thought , well why not? It doesn't actually say only pedal power. But yeah he will probably scare the heebiegeebies outa me if I see him coming thru there at me!

I see your typing is as good as mine Ms Fish

People on pushies can be ANGRY too. Old (push)bike mechanic recommended throwing one's treadly against offending automobiles repetedly upon getting the 'Sorry, I just didn't see ya...' line.

oh yeah is for sure...especially on those 'so-called' cycle lanes around christchurch.
I mean to say IF I was foolish enough to venture within 1/2 metre of the outside of my cycle lane I would get all sorts of bullshit from drivers, if not be dead to boot....scary being on a bike at times, at least on a motorised one I can try to get outa the way ...mostly anyway

If he hasn't got an engine, he doesn't count.

That's fighting talk Lou!

My love of 2 wheels grows from my collection of pushies...I have 3 of them, and no space...

[jrandom]

repetedly...

You want to play this game?

I can play this game.

It is a fun game, but not for spectators.

[Sniper]

Yes it is......

BTW Rashika, where abouts was this?

I have *so many times* thought of just nipping through the Parliament grounds to avoid two sets of lights.. Looks like a gate has appeared recently to slow down the most direct route through, but maybe there will be a large enough gap to fit my bike..

I will have to go fast enough to avoid the video cameras though :-)

Annex Road I believe. By Sunny Side

Hang on, I was around there yesterday

at one set of lights in town i periodically find a way around them at nights, simply cos the bike isnt heavy enough to trip them so they go green. theres a kind of car parking side road thingy so tourists can get to the top of the hill i live on, so i usually slip though that way. no doubt illegal somewheres, but its better than running a red light or sitting for ages waiting for a car to come up behind me]
