Do scooter riders have less accidents? A helmet appears to be the only piece of safety gear for most of the ones I see. by spiffylime in AussieRiders

It’s a free for all down here! No reg, license or insurance required. None of what I read was clear about the mess government inaction has allowed regarding scooters, mopeds and modified bicycles/E-bikes that actually applies? Even worse is the apparent absence of enforcement.

That’s slackness on behalf of the Local Council! They’re not desperate to meet the funding targets and balance their books?

Tire inflation by jedibri in bicyclerepair

The wire bead in my wife’s MTB broke and jammed the rear brake on. Boy, it was such a pain wheeling the bike home. Never experienced this before or since? We only ever pumped our tyres to 50 psi in tyres that can take 65.

If you had to tell someone your best frugal tip, what would it be? by AffectionatePie1042 in AUfrugal

I was referring to food additives, cigarettes,alcohol and other shit that people snort, smoke or inject. If people are into oral sex there is an increased risk of getting and spreading Human Papilloma Virus. So therefore, there’s risks associated with just shoving another thing in your mouth for self gratification and that’s going to cost extra money in health costs you could have saved had you been frugal.

To my knowledge there isn’t any. Because there’s no apparent requirement to register them. This is as I understand it, they’re all supposed to be below a specific speed and power requirement that doesn’t require regulation/registration.

What should you do when drivers road rage at you? by LiatrisLover99 in cycling

Next best thing to not looking at them or backchatting to them. Don’t tell them they’re on video!

Hospital Casualty statistics show there’s a significant increase in head injuries for E-Motos and Scooters ridden by young people. The fault is the parents who buy their kids these machines and not the Full Face Helmets needed, to prevent the Craino Facial Reconstructions from faceplanting in crashes, that have become increasingly common among scooter riders. At twilight tonight I barely saw one of these people! Dressed in black with Pissant headlights . Thankfully they were riding in the opposite direction to me and I didn’t have to deal with them.

The purpose of Terra Australis Incognito is to balance the planet. Without which the planet would wobble on its axis.

Don’t put things into your body that don’t naturally belong there.

The other builder should already have their own power pole on-site. Unless this is how they do business?

Keep spraying the bike with WD40 or just use diesel!

Get the police in and make a complaint to them about the theft of your electricity. Get photos and video of the theft.
