What the hell's up with Wellington cagers these days?

[Bend-it]

Ohhh shit! Haha!! Now I get you!!

Yeah, there's not much you can do there apart from pray!!

And do a quick U-turn and tell her what you thought of the manoevre (how the hell do you spell that word!?!?)!!

and *555 her ass!

[Tubbsy]

I was initially annoyed, but she didn't mean it, no harm done in the end I suppose, and hopefully it taught her to look out for bikes in the future.

That's something I wonder, whenever we have a close call, do you reckon it teaches the drivers that we travel faster than they realise and therefore as a result they are more vigilant in the future.....or do you maybe reckon they just think it's our fault? :slap:

you're just being nice 'coz she's hot...

Hot women get away with everything!! I'll bet the actual Bain murderer was a hot blonde who then slept with the investigating detective who then burnt down the house.

[Tubbsy]

Damn right.....if it was a fat sweaty bloke I'd have yelled and given the middle finger salute. It's the law of the jungle...."hotties get away with shit" (female hotties only might I add) Clause 45.A subclause B I think.

What is it with Welly drivers?
I had to do a trip from Porirua to the airport during peak a couple of weeks back.A friggin nightmare with thousands of cars on the stop way (can't call it a motorway when you have to continually stop!) and 99.9% of them had one occupant.FFS no wonder the traffic chokes up.

PS I made room for every splitting bike but mumbled and grumbled with envy as they shot off into the distance.

How many in your car then?

[Katman]

do you reckon it teaches the drivers that we travel faster than they realise

Do you mean faster than 50 in a 50 kph zone/100 in a 100 kph zone?

[Tubbsy]

Do you mean faster than 50 in a 50 kph zone/100 in a 100 kph zone?

No, I mean that we get to 50km/h faster than the cars do. Like when pulling away from lights.

The gorge sucks.

BREATHE....in and out......in and out

[Bend-it]

The gorge sucks

Nothing wrong with the gorge... I split up and down it almost everyday during peak hour...

Except I'm on a pushbike once in awhile these days... Now that sucks big time...

[Hazza]

I have actually noticed cars seem to be pulling over to block filtering bikes a LOT more than ever used to happen.

Come on folks...who hasn't been giving out happy thank you waves to cars when they move over AND stand up all you punks that have been kicking in side mirrors?!

Seriously though - it does seem to me that Wellington drivers have become more testy, impatient and much much less considerate of late. Unless it's just that I actually notice it all more because I am riding more defensively and actually paying more attention than I used to

This happens to me on a daily basis fu*ckn taxi drivers and buses are the worst

Luckily though, we're still the coolest things on the road.

Had a little kid come up to my bike at lunchtime with his yummy mummy to ask if he could see it (my bike). See!!! Hyosungs rock!!!!
