Dismount? WT, so I can have more to think about. Cycling advice from a non-cyclist.

As for the award, aus.bicycle beat it by weeks. The real shabby would know this. You must be imposter-Shabby.
Hmm, 1st fake-Kathy, now imposter-Shabby. A pattern develops.

It seems Queesland magpies are smarter than those residing in the ACT:

"If there is a swooping magpie in you neighbourhood take these simple measures to protect yourself and others... Stick some eyes on the back of your umbrella, hat or helmet." (http://www.environment.act.gov.au/petsandlocalwildlife/livingwithmagpies.html)

However http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/LTASinfo.nsf/index/cycling_magpies claims that "Painting eyes on your helmet is not usually effective because magpies have excellent visual discrimination and can learn the difference between painted and real eyes. "

PS: The reason you walk is a fast moving object is more likely to cause the magpie to swoop. I think. :P.

I remember being stopped at the lights with a magpie hitting my helmet. Noticed after the 3rd? clunk. Couldn't have been any slower.

Wasn't getting swooped this week, I got worried, has something happened to him? The joy when he swooped me this morning!
