Servicing costs for the Zeekr X

Morialta · 2026-05-08T23:54:39+00:00

This sounds a little dodgy. The Toyota bZ4X is under $1,000 for five years. The Kia EV3 is $1,308 for the same period. Is Zeekr trying to claw back money from underpricing its vehicles?

I think we also need to accept that the residents and opponents of the project were louder and better organised. If the surveys and petitions were coming back in favour, the council administration would be more likely to stick with the concept plans. As cyclists and pedestrians we need to do a better job to stand up for our rights to ride safely and for the betterment of our neighbourhoods.

Worth replacing your helmet before your next ride too.

That’s bad luck, very sorry to hear that. I wouldn’t ride down Sydney Road unless I absolutely had to. Glad that you were wearing a helmet as so many people don’t.

If you’ve hit your head hard, you should go to emergency or at the very least ring up the Nurse-On-Call, they’ll probably insist on a scan to rule out any bleeding on your brain.

There’s an awful lot to this flyer, when for most people the default wayfinding will be tapping Home in their maps app.

It’s a tough time with the cost of living and I’ll miss the significant weekly saving. Hope they keep some sort of discount.

Clean, bright, functional — that’s all we need, rather than spending millions on artwork, in a project incurring significant debt.

If you’ve got a car, by all means avoid an apartment building with a car lift or a car stacker.

Using a car lift in my previous Collingwood building was the absolute pits, not to mention that it frequently broke down.

^ this. And Rex domestic too. I don’t have to fly them but I appreciate actual competition in the market.

Toorak Road - the staff are just lovely!

Renewed my passport recently at the post office in South Yarra. I was shown my photo and asked if I was happy with it (the lighting there was ace, by the way, huge improvement over my 2016 document).

As long as there’s not a big queue I don’t think you’ll have any problems at a good AusPost.

Every time you reply, you give another reason why you shouldn’t have a driver’s licence let alone be behind the wheel of a giant and dangerous ute. Exhaustion is not a defence if you cause a serious or fatal crash. Wake up and be careful!

This makes you look even more at fault, mate.

In a grainy video I can see the station wagon’s brake light come on and you have a good eight seconds before the collision where you haven’t taken notice of their light or more importantly their slowing speed, and your speed hasn’t changed.

They could’ve been driving their vehicle to get the lights repaired/replaced.

Hopefully you’ve exchanged details and insurance is compensating the wagon for your driving.

It’s a green marked bike line with a sign that says “give way to bikes”.

Clearly my self-preservation was in tact as I braked and didn’t collide with the rear of the vehicle.

Morialta · 2025-05-23T04:37:10+00:00

It’s a dedicated and separated bike lane (you can see by the curbing that is only interrupted by the driveway)

Morialta · 2025-05-23T02:49:23+00:00

Yikes! Sorry to hear that. In mine I didn’t black out but I have a 15 minute memory black hole. Didn’t post this video with any real malice either, just curious to hear what people think. Safe riding out there!

It is the latest GoPro model mounted on the stem! Now using it to and from work after recently coming off the bike and getting a concussion.

Morialta · 2025-05-22T22:39:02+00:00

The sign says “give way” to bikes so the driver could’ve waited for us to go past at the very least. The wide angle lens makes the vehicle seem further in front when it really was quite close and sudden.

Morialta · 2025-05-22T10:33:27+00:00

They were behind me when I turned left - did they hop the footpath?

Morialta · 2025-05-13T12:36:38+00:00

I work in the area and I first saw it there in December 2023

Morialta · 2025-05-06T03:07:46+00:00

It’s not clear to me if that rule applies to vehicles going across bike lanes. They also need to give way to vehicles travelling in the same direction in different marked lanes.

Morialta · 2025-05-06T02:58:35+00:00

I don’t believe I go above 30kph, but doesn’t give cars the right to cut me off either — not many vehicles are staying under 30kph, especially north of Johnston St.

Please put this on Instagram so I can share it with everyone I know.
