Naturally. I'll give you a wave as we drive by next time. Just a subtle, lift of the finger - but you know... respect.

 

[Ligma]

With all the lockdowns and stuff, like most people these days I haven't driven that much in the last couple of years. But unlike most, I havent bloody well forgotten how to bloody drive.

Red lights mean stop - not speed up and go through just because you drive a tradie ute. Roadwork speed limits are a bloody pain and 40 is freakin' slow but it is a legal limit so have some respect for the blokes leaning on shovels or lining up traffic cones. Lane changing is not a human right - look, and do it when there is a gap not just a flick of the indicator and go. And when there is a lane closure for road works, you are a campaigner if you drive up that lane anyway then expect some dickhead two cars ahead of me to let you in after I've just jammed up the gap you thought was your god-given right to occupy. Roundabouts are associated with give-way rules - it isn't a game of "dare".

And don't get me started on cyclists (no, not the roadies who ride Nepean Hwy - I mean the 12 year olds who's parents obviously don't give a sh*t and let them ride without helmets).




In the words of me when I'm driving - you's are all campaigners.

I agree ffs.

They also have simultaneously forgotten about zebra crossings, I was WAITING FOR THE CAR TO STOP AND HE JUST DRIVES RIGHT THROUGH I WAS THINKING WHAT HAPPENS IF I JUST WALKED THROUGH I WOILD HAVE DIED I FULLY WANTED TO GTA THIS BLOKE AND PUNCH HIS SKULL IN THE FKING MOLE.

Righto a right one to help it along,
Ok, I let someone in, why no wave? I mean, I didn’t have to, why no thank you,
also, if I feck up, I put my hand up in apology, why don’t others?

Speaking of shit people on the roads, SpiderBurton22 you must be thrilled about the GOR being used as a cycling event in a few months.

Think you'll find " youse " is the correct spelling Sonof.

Yeah, a massive pain in the arse.

It's bad enough when there's just a group of 2 or 3, holding up everyone. Even the Chinese tourists used to go faster than them.

Hopefully by then I have had a change of employment.

This is why I do virtual cycling chefs kiss

Does Strava have a virtual GOR? That would virtually piss off SpiderBurton22

If it has a virtual Nepenan Hwy it would piss me off.

Yeah but I bet you still hold virtual cars up… don’t think of others

My fave type of cyclist.

Bet you're still a bike w***er and wear Lycra.

No lol the only real places that they have virtual maps are New York, Paris and the UK.

I wish they had the GOR and the Nepean Hwy so I can virtually piss you guys off

U have seen my outfit dumbo I only wear padded shorts.

Yeah. You looked OK, I suppose. Better than what I picture Gasometer like in his Lycra.

Yeah - that too.

I had a reoccurring encounter with a car driven by an older lady who was probably finishing work at around the time I'd get home on the train. I'd be about to walk across a zebra crossing and she would be approaching, she would stare directly ahead and accelerate over the crossing - no attempt to stop and no eye contact. The "RDS" logo on the car was a giveaway that it was the same car. I did get a photo a couple of times but I never actually reported her to the cops as much as I probably should have. A menace in my opinion. I wonder if she's do the same to kids.

Too old.

Sold the bike before Xmas

Back to daily walking with Woof which we are both enjoying, safely and actually losing Christmas weight

It was pre the frst lockdown so probably 2 years ago. Too late. I'm just grumpy today (not fake grumpy either - Gasometer would be happy).
