Thats the way people are behind a keyboard - go directly to the percieved insult that is going to upset/antagonise/anger the target. There are so many people out there just waiting for the chance and the club involved needed to realise this early and react appropriately.

They didnt help themselves with their initial response on FB and the member comment about teaching someone a lesson not to mess with them (response and member comment both deleted when things got hot).Not saying they deserve everything but they did nothing to defuse the situation until it had gone too far.

Fair enough.It does appear that heading out to the mast or bridal path on your own is a bit dodgy.

Yep stuff like this needs to be known about as accurately and as soon as possible. After reading the initial reports that filtered through I assumed it was the Arboretum. Also shouldnt the Tokai committee be making people aware?

Where are they available?

Absolutely.Its not a race issue its an idiot issue.

Makes sense.Its a thin line between "wahoo" and "is there a doctor in the house".

Im trying to picture just where it could go that wrong on that section, possibly just a really unlucky fall?

Are you for real? That is not *standing up for yourself* that is a bunch of cowards attacking as a mob. I would love to see hoe tough they are individually without weapons or all their buddies to back them up.Pathetic wimps the whole lot of them.

At least half the point here is that the video is all anybody (not just Hub members) is going to see. All the non cyclists are going to form opinion based on seeing a bunch of idiots bullying s driver in a parked vehicle.No matter how you play that it looks bad.

Where on that whole mess can you get "trying to stop the driver"? And if these guys were being good civic minded citizens by stopping a criminal type from escaping (at nought kph and parked) why were they not on to the cops to report they had apprehended the guy?

He deserved an out of control mob? Pfff...

In the words of Alan Partridge "So ruddy, bloody brave". That is pretty pathetic.

ST2? Is that the entrance to Mamba?

I remember the fuss over that. Personally I will always be more than a bit pleased when a thief catches an unfortunate one.

To give some perspectivr that is probably the first time in six months or so to the best of my knowledge.

What time of day did that happen?

"The correct procedure is to wait until its safe to do do". So when the cyclist is coming towards you, as is the case here, how do you do that? Slam it in reverse and hope nothing is behind you?

Meat has pretty much always been injected with water or brine, its a very old trick.

It would be a very short life...

Have you seen the price of chicken at Woolies?

It simply is not the same thing.

Did they even want the bike in this case or did they take it, and then dump it to ensure Simon couldnt get anywhere quickly to report the robbery?

Whats the deal with the trail upkeep now with the committee in place? Is the moratorium still in place or can work be done, and by who? Reason for asking is there is quite a bit of growth on some of the trails. I rode Fairy Garden today and spent a fair amount of time ducking errant branches etc, it is going to get out of control soon.

Im in the PPA and complete their events with my 10 year old son, we have no intention of doing anything other than completing the course and having fun.
