This morning, about 9.20 am, out for a nice ride along the Maraetai coast rd with my son it had been nice to see all the bikes out until.... a group of bikes came along (heading towards Duders) and one of the riders decided to pull a wheelie to pass some bicyclists going in the same direction. The thing that astonished me about this is that on this twisty road this person felt it necessary to not only overtake the cyclists on one wheel, but they had oncoming. Namely me, with my son following on his bike. Now I realise that this road might provide a great deal of fun for bikes if you have the road pretty much to yourself but this persons action were moronic. My leisurely pace was for the benefit of the young rider behind me, not for some prat to say to "ooooohhhh goody, a nice tight gap for me to squeeze past these pedal pushers and between the two oncoming motorbikes".
If it was an accident and the hand slipped on the throttle then that is bad enough, but if it was deliberate then whoever it was is an arsehole. If it was someone in KB land then SHAME ON YOU; if any of the riders in that group is a member of KB and knows that idiot, pass on myto them. If you are someone I know and like, then SHAME ON YOU, your actions were still moronic.
p.s. if those bicyclists didn't shit themselves when motorised a-hole hooned past then they must have either nerves or balls of steel.
