Supply and demand, my arse.

according to my son there's nothing like manualling (that's the flash name for old-school wheelie-ing without pedalling) 3 abreast for 100 metres down the main st of cambridge on $15 grands worth of MTB's. they always wear helmets and gloves though....

[marty]

or should that be grand's? or grands'?

no - plain old grands i think.

Hmmm, fair argument.

I ride a motor bike to work sometimes, ride a push bike at other times (like when it's wet so the motor bike don't get wet) and use the car when its REALLY wet!!

Cylists complain about car/truck drivers for a multitude of reasons - and rightly so. I have had more than enough close calls to last me a life time and I honestly have to say I don't thuink I was responsible for any of them.

Car/truck drivers complain about cyclists similarly. Again they are justified owing to the red ligth runners, cycle on foot paths (grannys, mums with prams etc don't like that despite what anyone says), cyle up one way streets the wrong way and cut in and out or moving traffic with reckless abandon. Then of course there are those who use their helmets as handle bar ornaments...give me a break - little wonder our ACC bills keep going up.

We all know the majority on both sides are fine - it's the minorities that wreck it for everyone else and create the tension. The reality is - the minorities will never improve their driving, so....

This argument will never end as much as we'd like it to damn it.

i ride a motor bike to work, a pushbike to work, and drive a car, depending how i feel, the weather, how late i am, if i can be fucked.

in/on each mode of transport i behave like everyone is out to kill me. i have lost friends on bikes, motorbikes and cars, both to impatient drivers, and due to their own impatience, and i don't plan on joining them.

and at the moment, 100% of my cycling, and probably 80% of my m/cycling is done on country roads in the dark, so i am VERY careful.

and i enjoy not being a large user of petrol/diesel. the busa is ok for economy (about $20 a week), the car's on LPG, and the bike is on nutri-grain bars.

Wow we've gone from gas to cyclists to semantics and punctuation. I love how this place moves!

It's always been about grammar! Sometimes some motorcycle stuff slips in.

HYPROCRATES! WHY DO YOU RUN A RED LIGHT WHEN I CAN'T? WHY DO I NEED A LICENCE AND YOU DON'T MISTER CYCLIST? MAKE UP YOUR FUCKING MIND!! PAY RUCS YOU DILDOS!!
Thankyou.

Like half the bozo's in cages aren't running red lights routinely? Bicycles cause almost zero congestion and cause no damage to the roads so why the hell should they pay?

To be honest, I'm not brave enough to cycle in this country.
