    Long way to fall for no helmet... parking must be tricky too. Still, an interesting way to commute.

    I often see this one parked up around the corner from work, but haven't seen anyone riding it yet.

    I got a home-build bicycle present for y'all.... Just got to go down the road to get air for the tires, then get one of my lazy flatmates to film me riding it.

    For now I'll leave you in suspense.... Or in a rabid state of not giving a shit.

    Not to mention braking, especially when going down a steep hill.

    the rear brake consists of his running shoe clad foot being pressed against the rear wheel between the tyre and the frame

    Why? There's nothing wrong with cycling, and some of us have no other form of transport.

    cycling is for poofs. and if i saw people walking in the middle of lanes, through orange /red lights, between cars in traffic and parallel parked, ignoring the courtesies found in "the road code", hopping on and off the footpath, and wearing spandex, i'd dislike them, too.

    Sure then, if you buy me a vehicle and pay for all the running costs and pay for a taxi on the weekends when I'm drunk, then I'll quit cycling.

    you seem to be under the impression that i give a fuck about you, allow me to correct this: i don't give a fuck about you.

    nor, do i feel the need to enforce my beliefs on others.
    i have an 1800kg truck with bullbars, i will take my right of way. cyclists will not.

    ( i rode a MTB for years (in town) as transport, but i'm such a badass that i never interfered with traffic or pedestrians, i aknowledged my inferior position in traffic.
    it seems that the attitude of cyclists now days is "be a big enough pain in the ass for them to notice you so they have no excuse other than extreme frustration for running you down")
