Canterbury Wednesday Night Ride

[willytheekid]

Perhaps we will agree to disagree

Yeah...right!

Don't count on it mate, FJ's NEVER wrong...didn't ya know
For the record gloplg...I didn't think you did anything wrong, you reacted to a cyclist BREAKING THE LAW, and in doing so, he put the both of you at risk. (Obstructing traffic flow, failure to keep left and bordering on loss of control of a vehicle...all illegal)

What IS clear in this thread, is the instant defence of a cyclist in the wrong from other cyclists!.

Yet everyday we see them...running red lights and giveways, skipping up on to the foot path and then claiming that WE are the ones putting THEM at risk

...To be ignorant of one's ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.

[Box of riddles]

What's the destination tonight, will possibly turn up since works toned down a bit.

Was a nice ride tonight we went to Little River stopped had diner & chatted . Think all the lake flies seen us go past and decided to wait till we went home before they came out to play. Side note remember to wear a clear visor since it's getting darker earlier.

Good run tonight, four of us... couple of new WNR'ers and couple of regulars (if Shoshoni and I can be called regular).
We rode over Dyres Pass round the bays to (and over) Gebbies Pass and finished at the little River Pub where we all sat down for tea.
We talked about video cameras (Go ProHD vs VIO P.O.V. HD pros and cons) and the art of staying alive, (that's roadcraft) as couple of us have just done some riding safety courses. Well at $50 each right now why wouldn't you if you can.



Edit: ahh I see Shoshoni bet me to the post button.
