today, 2 of us were beginning the ride from the basin shops
and about 500m up the hill, an older ford falcon sped past
me then clipped the guy i was riding with, no damage done,
just hit his arm with the left mirror but the driver was
doing around 60kph.
the car was an early / mid 80's ford falcon, faded silver or
grey. i thought the driver was going to stop but he just
sped off🙁
Greetings, It's not just cyclists on the old 1 in 20 road,
as you quaintly refer to Mountain Hwy, but everywhere. You
should have taken the rego number and reported the [censored]
to the police IMMEDIATELY. Let them get away with it and
next time they will kill someone. And what will they get for
that? A three year suspended sentence? `Oh, I didn't see
him' That kind of behaviour is bloody dangerous and should
be stamped out wherever possible. Regards, Ray.

one as bad as that in recnet years.

<html> <head> </head> <body> Good Morning Mr Sig, <br>
I
do indeed, and that was over 20 years ago. I also remember
the moron who came through traffic and ploughed me up in
Glenferrie Rd in 1995, and the dumbo who ploughed me up
again on a racing tandem in 2002. `Were you riding on the
footpath?', she asked me afterwards, when she had collected
us in the middle of the road after coming through a Stop
sign. <br> It seems to me that there are already sufficient
dumb drivers around without adding malice to the situation,
such as the driver who tried to kill me in Riversdale Rd
last year and was subsequently `outed' on this news group.
As the old saying goes, one born every minute. <br> Regards,
<br>
Ray. <br> <br> Peter
