    Telecommuting? is that like talking on the mobbie while you ride
    into
    werk? 🙄

    must be what all those 'cagers' are doin

    On one of our radio stations in Perth we have a weekly "ask a copper'
    segment. This week a, obviously indignant, caller asked if cyclists
    had to ride single file or could they ride "double breasted". That
    raised a few laughs and the copper said they were legally entitled to
    ride "two abreast" and told the caller in simple straight words that
    cyclists were part of the traffic and should be accorded the same
    rights as other road users. He then told a tale of being stuck behind
    a lady cyclist and noticed she had no hands on the bar. When he got
    along-side her he realised she was using both hands to send an SMS on
    her mobile. When he got her attention she quickly put her left hand on
    the bar whilst continuing to enter her SMS with her right hand. It's
    not just motorists who use mobiles, apparently.

    Seen that one by the river in Brissie heaps. I don't understand it.
    You're just asking to hit a pothole/sharp object/small child. Okay, so
    maybe I'm just unco.
