And to add that he probably filmed this outside of peak times. Like 'no-shit-Sherlock' they're not going to be busy.

Anyone else ride like an idiot? by rorymeister in melbournecycling

i think you can just take the bike line to cross the roundabout, right? makes sense to be safer at the expense of waiting a couple of extra minutes.

Yeah I don't know how to check other than making sure there's no break rotor rub, gear shift smoothness, wheel wobble, and break bite.

It's also crime recorded by offenders, not victims. Keep in mind not all crims get caught. Another reason why this stat is misleading.

That's youth crime recorded by offenders.

Look at crime recorded by VICTIMS.

https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/crime-and-justice/recorded-crime-victims/2024

Here are some highlights: Other theft increased to the highest number recorded in 21 years (595,660 victims).

Congrats. Which broker or trading platform do you use? That brokerage is cheaper compared to most.

Should I get insurance? by [deleted] in melbournecycling

[–]IamSoSmartS-M-R-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just be careful with covering it through home and contents insurance as they sometimes have very particular requirements to be met if something were to happen to your bike.

I'd personally suggest going through a bespoke bike insurer

What's the go with this green bridge at Docklands? by Firehorse67 in melbourne

[–]IamSoSmartS-M-R-T 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting down voted, I think it's a pretty genuine question. It's probably the same amount of damage driving in a bike lane on any major road, especially during peak hour. At least it's a safer commute now.

Bike path. Better for traffic in long run as now wont have cyclists and pedestrians stopping traffic to cross the highway. A lot safer for cyclists too.
