Judy Evans @JudyEv (381812) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Jul 19

Science Fiction Short Story Review Connie Willis Even The Queen

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 15 Nov 18

1992 - Spoiler alerts Women's menstruation periods might seem an odd theme for an SF story, but Willis makes it a very important one. My Mum always avoided telling me anything about women's body issues. Even when my Aunty was...

Commuter cyclists with GoPro cameras look ridiculous?

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5216) • Northampton, England 3 Jan 18

Why do some cyclists have GoPro cameras on their helmets? I get car dashcams as it helps with insurance and theft claims and can capture some cool footage but why do certain cyclists insist on having them on their helmets? How can...

Taking 'share the road' to new extremes

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381812) • Rockingham, Australia 7 Aug 17

Cycling, both pedal- and motor-cycling, are very popular here in France and vehicular motorists seem very tolerant of cyclists, more so than in Australia. There are frequent signs asking that cyclists be given a 1.5m clearance...

why does no one chain up their bikes any more?

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 8 Sep 15

I am seeing a growing trend for cyclists not bothering to chain up their bikes outside shops or friends' houses. They seem to be almost asking someone to just peddle off with the bikes. What on Earth happened to simple cycle...

They saved up for 6 years and went on a cycling trip around the world

maximax8 @maximax8 (31042) • United Kingdom 16 Mar 13

It is such sad news to read two British cyclists on a round the world trip were killed in Thailand. They had been hit by a 25 year old truck driver in a province east of Bangkok. They had begun their cycling journey in July 2011...

Crack down on cyclist making rolling stops and stop signs.

koopharper @koopharper (7599) • Canada 27 Oct 12

Our city announced that the police would be ticketing specifically cyclists for not coming to a complete stop at stop signs. I could support this if this problem was unique to cyclists. Seems like everyone driving cars in this...

bobbyjoe143 @bobbyjoe143 (1287) 28 Nov 08

Over the last couple of weeks in my local newspaper, there have been letters printed from readers about cyclists in my local town. The first ones I saw was about how younger cyclists were riding on pavements, by younger, I mean...

Should cyclers be allowed to use the road?

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 27 Jun 07

Every morning when I leave home at about 6am there are cyclers riding up and down my street. I live in a quiet street down the bottom of a mountain so they like to ride up and down the mountain every morning. When I reverse out of...

Yesterday afternoon I saw a young girl somewhere between 10 and 14 I would guess riding along the road, she wasn't wearing a helmet (which is illegal) and in all the time I was watching her she did not have her hands on the...

All you cyclists...

prestocaro @prestocaro (1251) • United States 21 Apr 07

... Drive me crazy. Here in Austin, cyclists always complain about how cars don't "Share the Road" with them. We in cars either get nervous and give a bike excess room or don't notice at all and occaisionally swipe cyclists. I...

Cyclist's. Do You Wish They Would Get Off The Roads Or Not???

ItTakesAllSorts @ItTakesAllSorts (4096) 11 Feb 07

I am not a lover of cyclists. They seem to think they own the roads and the pavements without a care for the car driver or pedestrian. They never stop at the red light or the pedestrian crossing. They weave in and out of...
