Slow down Stupid!
I seem to remember some TV ads that said speeding was not very clever………..

Forest Lake Roundabouts
Rode home on Monday night this week during the storm. Lots of lightning on the way, I felt like a lightning rod riding an aluminum bike with aluninum lights on my helmet! Anyway I survived the wet roads, tree debris everywhere only to nearly be taken out twice by two cars on Joseph Banks/Crossacres St & College Ave who decided to force the issue with who was boss by overtaking me at speed while I was on roundabouts. What is wrong with these people? Perhaps 4 white front lights putting out a mere 8000 lux each is not enough for these twits………
Forest Lake Social Ride
This Sunday 15th of March, there will be an inaugural social bike ride in the afternoon leaving the Forest Lake Village Coffee Club at 4.00 pm. This will be a very slow paced ride and everyone is welcome. Ideal for parents wanting to ride with the kids and also those who have been thinking about getting off the couch and dusting off the mountain bike for ages but have not yet found the motivation.
The ride will be for a maximum of 1 hour and is “social” chatting as we go around the lake and some local bike paths. Optional coffee stop after the ride finishes to keep chatting to new friends.
Forest Lake Cycling
8 riders out this morning! The group is slowly but surely growing each week. Great to see. Good 60 km ride this morning with coffee afterwards (Thanks Lance & Gayle). Vehicle drivers were generally all pretty good today too.
Cyclist Killed by Garbage Truck
What sad reading, how can these things keep on happening? What a waste of a life.

Even the bike paths have their share of idiots
There seems to be a lot of idiots riding bikes too fast and passing other cyclists in mad places on the coronation drive bike path these days. Lucky they are not in the road on cars I suppose.
OOPS!
The guy driving this car is no different to the other thousands of people who regularly pay no attention to all the signs put out advising of reduced speed limits around road works all over Brisbane. They fly past you giving you the death stare for driving slowly! The good thing here is that he was caught doing the wrong thing, and now has to pay a fine for doing the wrong thing. Perhaps in future he will be more aware of the signs that are put out there for the safety of everone and actually do the right thing and not have to pay a fine…………..
I WASN’T SPEEDING OFFICER, HONESTLY…..
Seems like there are some nuts at the wheel in Germany too……….
Wow! Plastic Knives are Dangerous after All!
Well well well, It seems you can actually do some damage with a plastic knife! Does this mean that we will have to resort to ripping our food apart with bare hands on flights to and from Australia from now on? Perhaps Ivan read my earlier post……………………

Paying Idiot Tax at Forest Lake
This needs to happen a whole lot more!
Just when I was starting to think that the police never bothered with speeding drivers in Forest Lake. Still there are hundreds more people speeding every day that don’t get caught though…………………Hopefully though, this person may tell a friend!
