t'was coming back from Anzac Day in the city along Beach Road and saw a
nasty spill over on the path at Black Rock on the rise North of
Ricketts Point.

rooman: Was that the women who wrote the letter in this week's 'Bayside
Leader'?

yep,

Suzy... she wasnt well, but kept up good spirits in spite of her pain...good to see she is up and about.... and she is keen to get back on her bike..that's great.

I was her 6'+ sunshade as she lay on the path... good to know I have some practical purposes left...

what do you think of the other comment in Opinon from "Marcus" of Brighton? ...I felt when I read it, maybe he should choose to go on the Nepean if he wants a less interrupted high speed run to the CBD, over Beach Rd...he reckons the path should be used by commuters as their only peak hour route along Beach Rd and let him "flow" in his cage ( till the next set of lights).

Yep. It's hard to regard a broken femur as anything other than bad news,
but it sounds like she was lucky not to do a lot worse.

It seems you were appreciated. (And I have an opening for a large
windshade on wheels, if you're offering...)

Didn't you know? Remove the bikes from Beach Road in peak hour and "a
steady stream of traffic" will flow right into the CBD. And pollution is
the cyclists' fault. Talk about delusional.

Still, in one letter we're accused of bleating, malignant narcissism,
failing to recognise responsibilities, and being kamikaze zealots, naive
sacrificial pawns, luvvies (!), and of course red-light runners. I can
almost handle that, but I think being compared to a parked car was below
the belt.
