Guys don’t roll over so easily . . . there is some momentum happening and we need to keep the pressure up & write letters ‘above the Council’ Since – its State & Federal Govt money used to fund this ‘black spot’ project. Neither would be happy if they knew their road safety funding has […]

More fun ngames on PPR – not . Usual ride along there last night – 7 of us coming up the hill from the river, turn left onto PPR at 7.00 pm no worries – heading east along PPR sitting on 30+, paired and blocking off the very little traffic (one car) up to the […]

Well that was our first cold one – all the external bits going numb and even our fashion-ista with matching scarf still had dead toes at the of the ride – definitely time for the colour-coordinated overboots. Ronnie sent a ‘puncture’ message through at 6.55, so instead of running with the M3’s in Shaws absence, […]

Sad news – but at the risk of being boringly repetative – can people please start writing letters !! and mention the new traffic islands being a danger to cyclists as they narrow the road lanes and force overtaking cars to drive very (dangerously) close to cyclists; the condition of the road; inadequate lighting and […]

Bill – sorry to that you were hit. Can you please write to the “Mayor and Councillors” at East fremantle Council and let them know. If it was alongside one of their new central traffic islands – ie where the road has been narrowed – please confirm that in your letter. I have been advised […]

Lennie Just put a 23″ wheel on the front – it’ll feel like you’re going down hill for most of the ride and you’ll level out nicely when it comes to Ewen St.

As you can see from Nearmaps – there appears to be more than enough space on the south side of the road to be able to move the southern kerb soutwards by 3 metres and create 1.5 metre bikes lanes either side of the road. However I’m not surprised that this wasn’t put forward as […]

Any one ridden to/from Freo via Preston Point Road between Wauhop Rd. & Petra St. in the last few days? East Freo are ‘upgrading’ this section of road and are in the process of installing central reservation concrete kerb islands before re-asphalting. Unfortunately with the resulting narrow lane width due to retention of the existing […]

Lennie – you can always join the Transitionals and a couple of us will be happy to sit back and act like a human zimmer frame to help you up the little rise along Point Walter and Leightons . . . . .

Unofficial Sunday hills ride – very pleasant and relaxed with the Flying F streaking ahead up Welshpool and again into Kallamunda. 13 starters and 10 made it to coffee – group split to go home with half zig-zagging to the north and the other Welshpooling back south. One puncture near the end and more than […]

I rode with Main 2 on Sat and had a ball – a really good ride with good roll throughs and several sharing the effort on the front. Wasn’t aware that there were any ‘invaders’ from other groups apart from a couple who rode the whole ride & were taking it easy in prep for […]

Interesting read guys – like many of us I have frequently experienced approaching ‘idiots’ in packs of 2 abreast on the freeway bike path (especially Tues & Thurs mornings) as I head down the ‘wrong way’ (ie: south) on my 2 wheel 17 kg tank with wide handlebars and bar ends that protect my hands.

The second T group P/H ride proved even more popular that the first one we initiated at the end of Jan; a few M3’s joining in with some of the T regulars and we started off with 10 including Steve and Ivan sharing in the ‘Leaders’ role. Pace was up a little from the previous […]

Just thought I would share this . . . . some time ago I came across a great booklet on cycling techniques called “29 Pro Cycling Secrets for Roadies” produced by RoadBikeRider.com (a weekly email roadie magazine) which provides great insight on riding skills and training techniques and would be very beneficial to anyone at […]
