Horrible!!

that is one of the last stretches on earth i would want to cycle down.

savage.

Willkommen im Australien, par for the course I'm afraid.

The bloke that did the round the world cycling record said Oz was the worst place he rode through for anti cyclist behavior.

poor git
lucky tough
they could of taken his eye out ( i take it didnt otherwise they would of said/wrote it)

it was from lara outside geeling, nuff said.

PS i'm not being harsh, but this road is like riding along the north circular or M25

He knew the risks, cycling in a third world country.

yeah, never happens in uk.

Exactly!

Hope they catch the twunt and throw the book at him.

In the face.

I should probably add Bourne Ultimatum style.

Maybe not quite as nasty but three times in the recent past my missus and I have had to dodge a purposely-aimed football in both Hackney and Brockley. They have been punted hard, narrowly missed, and I dread to think what would have happened if they'd connected at that speed. Little cunts.

Anyone have any interesting stories from Guy Fawkes night? There were at least a few up on the forum.

"Thomas was two weeks into his 3 1/2-month Australian tour. Surgeons have told him he might avoid corrective surgery but that his head will take a year to fully recover from the trauma."

a full stubby, is a lethal object

So is a firework... I dont subscribe to the "par for the course" theory.

Slightly off the topic, but I'd murder that VB at the moment.

The number of related stories from Australia mean I'm really not looking to cycling places after the wife and I relocate later this year.

Little scrotes. Stop, find the ball, puncture it, ride off. Or just take it with you.

Like they have books there...

Thats wrong Adam... There have been a few terrible cycling related stories recently from Australia, but one could contend that the media in Australia actually find it newsworthy compared to the UK media who dont give a shit. I've read some shockers on this forum that could have ended in serious injuries if not worse - deliberate rammings, muggings, being chased through estates etc. A cyclist being hit by a beer bottle is hardly going to make the front page of the Sun here, is it?

Cycle in Oz and be prepared for shit drivers in much the same way as you would here. Any of the Aussies on this forum, myself included can tell you that its not much worse (well, Melbourne anyway - never ridden anywhere else)

No-one ever shot a firework at me in Melbourne.

Back to your own thread...

FUCK YEAH JASON BOURNE!
They are the best films of ever. I would be so so law abiding if the police were like him.

What an awful son of a bitch. Whilst it's a vain hope, hopefully the car driver didn't see him or something. However that is so doubtful. Malicious son of a bitch. Eye socket for an eye socket in this case, please.
