Slow response. Either they cheaped out on the server, or they *really*
underestimated the desire people have for something like this.

Anybody spare me a few grand for a recumbent? Don't worry, I'll pay for
the false beard myself.

Erm, that would appear to be a US site. Not sure there's much point
registering Aussie phone numbers there...

bit of both, but I would say it is demand...a huge pent up glacial lake, a volcanic lahar, a hell of a lot of people fed up with the crud we have had for too long...

I guess the do not call registration will drive spammers to fill the void and send us more eCrud...

.oh yeah CF Topic ... here is Wheely Good image I think makes sense , about the Influence of the Spoken Wheel ...ere tis!

That reminds me of a chap spectating at the Comms Games road circuit last year. Carbon road shoes, black explorer socks. Pulled up. Faded Spicer rain jacket. Full beard. Ancient mesh helmet cover. It was truly a Winning Look.

Just need a grotty y frame mtb and a cruzbike kit.

I'm not sure Cruzbike riders are required to have the beard so
win-win!

I'm happy that commercial entities selling stuff (time share, property, new energy billing blah blah blah) are in the firing line...

I'm unlisted at home and get calls every night from some character selling mobile phone connections from Mumbai or Time Share or offering a free holiday to attend a Neg gearing Seminar opportunity...good old Bayside, just the perfect demographic filled phone area for high call hit rates for these annoying organisations . They arnt on the exceptions list...

sure they will all now say "Oh we are doing research?"...but tuff, anything that is a wedge wins....and I expect there will be cases down the track where callers who are not legit exemptions just might get a federal prosecution...cool by me!

From thunderhead alliance (www.thunderheadalliance.org/completestreets.htm:)

"Any street that serves only some modes at the safety expense of others is
incomplete."

I can agree with that. I'd like to see the RTA adopt it as a motto. Then
they could start saying to each other "He's a complete street" as some sort
of compliment, or he is one lane short of a complete street, etc...

Any way, time Wheels of Justice took it up, and BV, BFA, etc. Great idea,
wider and more inclusive than "Bike Friendly Communities" or "the road is
there to share" and other campaigns. One problem may be that it might just
be used for "prettying up" urban main streets with cafes and angle parking
and slow points etc but not really making them much better for cyclists. It
needs to be applied to arterial roads and freeways as well.
