Couldnt do a thing but sit and watch them break at least two road rules over the three kms I was behind them as they were riding up to five abreast and one third of them ran an amber light and another third ran a red light. I turned off and used backstreets. One car did overtake them but being such a large group it was too dangerous for my liking.

yes good . just like a slow big bus or truck . hey

Not on that road, big trucks dont use it, and due to the size of the group (a truck that long would have escorts), nothing like a bus or truck as they are more predictable than a bunch of individual cyclists travelling up a rise at 20-30kmh who dont indicate, run red lights, dont leave sufficient space between themselves to safely stop in an emergency and ride 5 abreast in breach of another road rule.

Are you condoning this behaviour?

wearing pink lycra aswell i geuss

[Marty MOOSE]

If anyone rode 5 abreast in the groups I ride with you would get a real dressing down, red lights the same ride briefing always asks that we obey the road rules.

[browncow]

Our briefings specifically condone running reds...

Irshad "Stephan" Stephens gives us a circle of doom before each ride.
Then we go do NASBIKE and yell at sluts.

Dunno was too busy running down those that strayed from the pack to notice, I love my roo bar.

Trying not to get kicked while getting chased by security guards is what I find most difficult as a cyclist....

[malenko]

cmon dude this is typical car driver logic that causes most of the troulbe. just narrow minded

no, I was using your logic to make a statement, there for you have just called yourself narrow minded

[malenko]

No you would need to learn the road rules!

Correct, my statement was more to point out the stupidity of freddies comment.

But when you're white you don't have this problem. Nor do security guards even take notice!

[Marty MOOSE]

fredie makes no sense

Instead of riding up thomas st towards leedy I ride up Kings park, the roads are more interesting and theres way less traffic, there is also a cycle path all the way through it.

[browncow]

Me and Kings Park don't get on so well anymore...
