A loose chin strap on ride to work day

If you click on the image you'll be able to read what Melbourne's finest were up to on a day which is set up to encourage cycling in Oz.
While I would probably encourage folk to wear a helmet that fits well, how about the two dickheads that actually fined the girl for this. What a great job, imagine getting home that night and thinking "ahh, the streets are a safer place thanks to me, think I deserve a nice biscuit. Reckon I can get another day out of that shirt too".
Don't worry about parking somewhere that has regular cycle traffic and addressing motorists that come within a whisker of killing someones mum, dad, friend...whatever. No, go and harass people for getting off their asses on a beautiful morning and enjoying life a bit. Or maybe go and park that highway patrol car on Kew boulevard and doing something to deter the tool that keeps laying tacks for cyclists tyres.I could suggest a great spot for them to stick  their two fingers.
AND ANOTHER THING, There's a ride on at 8 am tomorrow, be great to see you.
It's Leo's birthday tomorrow.

Steve.

  1. The City Lairs will be back after a long absence riding in the SA wine regions. See you all tomorrow. I hope the fires are out.

    1. Would love to have you along Owen. We meet in High st (the main street) Lancefield, about 100m down from the IGA supermarket.
      You'll see us unloading our bikes just before 8.
      Steve.

    1. Hey Owen,
      Was great to have you along and hope you can make it back some time soon.
      Sorry I had to scoot off in such a rush was really behind the eight ball for time by the time we got back.
      Cheers,
      Steve.

  4. I do hope that the police officers would rather focus on the more productive issues or more serious violations. Not the petty ones like this that merit, I think, mere words of reminder.
