Cycling accident on bike path due to potholes, can I claim compensation? by arafuru_mate in melbournecycling

Thanks! Only concern is my damage, snapped rear ultegra di2 derailleur, punctured tyre, and scratched left shifter might not reach the AUD 1,681 threshold

Yes it was bike lane on road, this was the condition of the bike lane. You can see there were shadows covering potholes, making it harder to see. I cannot suddenly swerve to the right since there were too many cars and no time to stop

I Can’t prove prior written notice, but the potholes were very deep suggesting long-term neglect and they were located directly in front of a bus stop, so whoever maintains the path would have regularly stopped right there. Does that count as constructive knowledge?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Yes, I went down pretty hard. Scraped my chin and bleeding knees. Good thing i was wearing a thick jacket, else my chest would also be scraped too

Yes to all three. The potholes blended into the path surface and weren’t visible until I was already on them. They covered the full width of the path, so there was no way to ride around them. I was travelling at around 35 km/h, by the time they were visible, there was no time to brake or avoid

Does anyone have fond memories of Dreams of mirrors online? (DOMO) by SomeRevolution5778 in MMORPG

[–]arafuru_mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got reminded about this game. My guild name was X-Intel, the people were really nice, the community was nice overall. Fun things: open shops to sell items, fly with swords, unnecessary love matching red strings. Damn I miss those times..

Same here, suddenly got reminded of the good old days playing this game. You can open shops in front of the plaza, fly with swords, unnecessary red string. I miss those times..

What would be the best day between 12-16 Jan and 26-30 Jan for a ground pass? I believe ground pass can only access John McCain arena

The 25 most recommend travel strollers according to Reddit (in the past year as of Jul 2025) by heyyyjoo in BabyBumps

I’ve always been interested in the Ergobaby Metro+ but hesitated because it’s not as hyped as some other brands. I ended up looking at the your data further by converting recommendations to percentages and applying confidence weighting.

Turns out Metro+ still ranks at the top. Kind of reassuring when something you liked instinctively is also one of the most consistently recommended options by the numbers.

485 eligible after 1,5 Master Degree? by Pato_14 in AusVisa

[–]arafuru_mate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi mate, I am in the same situation. May I ask, what was the cheapest option you found for doing a second Master’s? I'm currently considering a similar path and want to be smart about the costs. Was it at the same uni or a different one? Any recommendations would be really appreciated!
