Straight Outta SoHo!

Bike punx, be aware! I just scored an $80 ticket for running a red light in the city centre. All well and good, running reds is illegal and dangerous and getting a ticket is just another risk if you are prone to do it. However, the circumstances involved posed little danger to myself, pedestrians or other road users and it may be worth being aware of for anyone else out there using the roads on their friendly, pollution-free, minimal impact, low space transport. I approached a red light at the corner of Collins St and Elizabeth St, at the corner of the mall. Rather than stopping at the light I rolled left onto the footpath at the end of the mall, paused for a moment to look for a fellow BnC member, before beginning to continue on my way.

Unfortunately the police car waiting at the lights decided that today was the day when there was little else to do, and my number came up. Understandably I’m a little bitter, given the number of times dangerous and illegal moves from cars have endangered my life with no repercussions. What a cunt.

End whinge. Fuck.

  3. Obviously cyclists are causing too much harm and killing too many people by being on the roads. What a joke.

    Also, I don’t remember making that comment about your mum Mish. I think I was drunk.

  4. Posted @ 2:26am? Highly likely.

    (Letter to Kaye: Mum, ignore the above banter, these boys wouldn’t dare swear in front to their own Mothers for fear of a mouthfull of soap).

    (Note to boys: Kaye uses Pears. She’ll be down at Christmas so watch out!)
