Do you think I'm sexy?
I think this new look is pretty damn hott if I do say so myself.
Just follow the freakin rules
On Saturday morning, a 77 year old man was killed after being hit by a cyclist on Beach Rd in Mentone. That someone was killed walking in front of a bicycle is not surprising. Pretty much anyone who rides a bike in Melbourne will have had a pedestrian walk in front of them without looking at one time or another. The difference in this case is that this man was killed crossing with the 'green man' at pedestrian lights, by a 'peleton' of 200+ unofficially organised amateur riders that were either unable, or unwilling to break the bunch and stop in time. I can't help but think that bike/car relations in Melbourne are reaching some sort of crisis point. My daily ride to and from work, mainly along bike-friendly back streets, attracts abuse from motorists (and pedestrians) probably once a week on average. People hate bike riders. As a cyclist, the contempt with which I am treated by those in cars and pedestrians is really quite confronting. A short ride is enough
Yes, yes I do like your new look.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you approve. If anyone can tell me how to make the little stars in the sidebar work with my blogroll tool thing, I'd be exceeding pleased...
ReplyDeleteSorry, I think I preferred the old look.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about the white text on dark that makes my eyes go all blurry. And when the comment page pops up it's like someone's shone a really bright little keyring torch in my eyes.
Still, what do I know?
Yes. I see your point.
ReplyDeleteWho can tell where my templatey whim may take Itemisation next.
