Appalling story from yesterday's ATB: a bunch riding near Frankston is passed by a motorcyclist who sticks out his foot and kicks a female rider off her bike and then of course speeds off. What a bogan triumph of skill and bravery that was:-(

Neil Mitchell's been on a anti-cyclist rant for over a week. Problem is people listen to him.

From this morning (22/10)

With the Monash interview he got done like a dinner. 😉 An article + more audio soon.

freaking sad.... hope/was she ok ??

generally all good experiences yesterday, except just a wee little bit warm, cars waiting at round-a-abouts, beeping and waving out of cars, people clapping and waving watching the riders go by, was a great day.

According to this map it was not the only serious incident/accident
during the ATB this year.

actually 3 people were caught up in the same assault. The good news is that a passing motorist noticed the rego and reported it to the Police. Motorcyclist charged
🙂
