is that Australian humour?

I prefer Les Patterson, now he was funny

Fucking savages.
She was only marginally funny in Fast Forward.

It's clearly meant as humour, if we can't laugh at this kind of shit then we really are the smug eco warriors people see us being...

Have you ever been to Australia? That ^ is serious or will be taken as such.

I know it's not the most cycle-friendly place on earth...

I'm going to let this go on balance for the pure joy this sketch brings into my life

Just what I want to see when I've woken up. Two burly women shouting at each other.

I can safely say that a large proportion of drivers in Australia need no encouragement! Since moving here I have pretty much been heckled, honked at and almost killed on a daily basis, and hit twice (and that's lucky considering the number of near misses I encounter each day as a courier). I've been called a faggot so much I'm starting to believe it. Do they know something I don't? There's a few cars around with 'anti-spandex' stickers, which feature the no cycling symbol.

But to be fair there are also a lot of roadies here, and a lot of people who stop you in the street to ask about your 'fixie'.

Mmm faggots.

I reiterate: Fucking savages

I lived there for 10 years and fucking hate that country.

If you weren't interested in footy, cars and surfing you don't exist in their spectrum of expected behaviour.

The amount of times I had people try to run me over when out skateboarding or cycling(even mounting the curb sometimes whilst I was skating on the pavement).
Numerous occasions having shit thrown at me from passing vehicles, including beer bottles..
People taking swings at you just walking through town with a deck under your arm.

A land of fucking, fucking, savages.

Nice beaches and weather though.

... its not even funny, why are people laughing..... mabye i should write into the sun ranting about cars driving in the middle of lanes or bike lanes, instead of the lane which tax payers money went to and jumping reds. They can look at my sweaty arse, i have to breathe in cars fumes and see their fugly fat faces. This shouldnt even be on TV, IF i was on TV and advised anybody to try and purposly cause anyone injury or death what would happen!? RAGGEEE!!!!!! =D

happening now
On Bike Victoria's forum 13 pages in 48 hours regarding that performance.
Not a good career move considering her new show is not rating

I wouldn't go that far. There's just a lot of silly people out there. But the nice ones equal it out by being very nice.

Plus the opposition you get kind of reinforces the love of riding and makes the scene that much tighter.

I guess I could be mistaken for the one on the left.

That is just my 10 years of experience having to deal with every thug-bogan and surfie-dickhead.
People driving v8 cars on massively wide roads that still couldn't share or take a precious few seconds to allow you to clear an intersection.
I skateboarded, rode for pleasure and worked as a courier from '95 to '98.

I believe London roads to be far safer on the whole than Australian.

I spent a weekend in Lugarno once; we were practically ushered in and out of town by big foreheaded locals playing Dueling Banjos.

Mrs Potato Head gets angry over nothing. The menopausal sausage lover.

why were they shouting like it was some kind of evangelical gathering?

Mrs Potato Head! hehehe. When I was in Australia I really noticed that no one gives a shit about cyclists, or aboriginals. Other than that it's a great country.

I'm not offended by the sentiment. I am offended by how moronic and unfunny it is.

she was born in liverpool

Boring and unoriginal. I just wish these people knew a little more. Oh well. Cycling is increasing, and one day hopefully people will be rather better informed about it.
