This is Jesse, he is a drifter who lives near the bridge in my area.
He owns nothin but a bike, a bird and a bag of about 10 items! <br /> Yesterday, while I was ridi<span class="text_exposed_show">ng
my bike down around the beach - which is about 5km from my house - I
got a flat tyre. I had no choice but to turn around and wheel my bike
the long walk home. <br /> A few people rode past and didn't really pay me
any attention and I didn't expect them too, but as I started walking,
headphones in my ears, I noticed the homeless guy from under the bridge
saying something to me. At first I thought he was going to ask me for
something so I popped my headphones out and asked him what he wanted? He
then replied "I don't want anything bra but I've got a new tube in my
bag and you can have it if ya want !" Shocked at first I said no thanks
but he insisted. So I walked over to his little clearing where he had
his things and his pet bird sat in a busted cage. <br /> He opened up his
empty bag and gave me the tube (which was one of the very few things he
had) helped me change the tyre, even pumped it up! I asked him how I
could pay him back and he said to me "don't worry about it bra, this is
what it's all about!"<br /> The enormity of his situation and the fact
that he went out of his way to help me was so humbling, I mean this guy
was willing to give me his stuff and didn't want anything in return. To
you and I, a bike tube would probably not mean much but to a guy with so
little this item must hold enormous value! <br /> I could go on and on
about how selfless this guy was to give me, a total stranger, clearly in
a much better position than him some of his possessions, while people
like us are so selfishly attached to all our useless crap.<br /> Anyway I
just wanted to show you a pic of Jesse with his new Versace lenses,
some fresh Sneakers, a full belly and a cold beer... Felt good to do
something for the bloke. I also went up to woollies and got him a couple
weeks worth of food and some seed for his bird lol...<br /> Man he was
ecstatic even had tears in his eyes and couldn't thank me enough, but
amidst me sitting there proud of my good deed, and him singing me
praises, I suddenly felt pretty bad because the truth is if he didn't go
out of his way to help me, I wouldn't of done anything for him.<br /> I ride past this guy all the time and never even think twice!<br /> Really knocked me off my high horse!<br /> Even tho we sit around with all our materialistic needs and pass judgment, this dude has something that none of us can buy!<br /> I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for the lesson in humanity champ!</span><br />
Now back to your normal viewing.<br />

1. they wear black, don't have lights and it gets dark early now so

super careful<br /> 2. many don't wear helmets especially the young women
who want their hair to blow free as they ride their retro expensive
bikes with b<span class="text_exposed_show">askets on the front. Guess what it's not the French countryside, it's f***ing King Street<br /> 3. Tired of being almost killed on King St they ride like maniacs on the footpath taking out kids and old people<br />
I know this post isn't PC and it's the government's fault for not
providing bus lanes but can I appeal to hipster riders to think safety
before fashion please?<br /> And hope my other half who has no lights on his bike gets home ok."</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This morning I decided I really fancied a falafel roll. My favourite place to eat falafel is on the other side of the river in Arncliffe, so rather than jump in the car I decided to take my daughter for a bicycle tour of the beautiful Wolli Creek Wetlands. Not many people visit the remnants of bushland along Wolli Creek Valley but you probably should before it ends up under yet another freeway.</div>

One of the things I love about riding my bike is that it allows you to notice little things that you would never see with other forms of transport. On your bike you can just pull up anywhere to take a closer look, snap a photo, smell the flowers...<br />
<br />
Which makes the bicycle the perfect vehicle for the kind of event we attended today, a scavenger hunt along the newly opened George St Cycleway. We rode along quiet tree lined streets in Redfern looking for clues and giving away Easter eggs to the people we met. As if that wasn't enough we met up later in a pub and were given prizes!<br />
<br />
It makes me very thankful that I live in a town where there are people willing to get up off the couch and organise something like this with no other motivation than to provide others (often total strangers) with a good time.<br />

A
P-PLATE driver who used her mobile phone behind the wheel 44 times
before running down a cyclist near Koroit has been fined $4500 and lost
her licence for nine months.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Kimberley
Davis, 21, of Grant Street, Port Fairy, yesterday pleaded guilty in the
Warrnambool Magistrates Court to dangerous driving. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
She was originally charged with 47 offences covering each time she had used her phone.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The
cyclist suffered a spinal fracture which required surgery and placement
in a spinal cage at Melbourne’s Austin Hospital. He was originally told
he could be left a <b>paraplegic and spent three months recovering.</b></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
<br /></div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
He also suffered a broken big toe and lacerations to his head and body.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The
court heard that the victim couldn’t believe that Davis rang triple-0
after the accident but refused to offer him help after she parked 100
metres up the road.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Even more stunning was Davis’ answers when interviewed by police two days after the accident and asked about using her phone.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“I
just don’t care because I’ve already been through a lot of bullshit and
my car is like pretty expensive and now I have to fix it,” she told a
police officer.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
“I’m kind of pissed off
that the cyclist has hit the side of my car. I don’t agree that people
texting and driving could hit a cyclist. I wasn’t on my phone when I hit
the cyclist.”</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Davis had driven from a
supermarket in east Warrnambool to just west of Koroit when she hit the
cyclist at 7.20pm on September 20 last year on the Penshurst-Warrnambool
Road.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The cyclist was on the edge of the
road heading west when Davis hit him from behind, despite there being
lights on the back and front of his bike.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Records
showed Davis used her phone 44 times in her drive from east Warrnambool
to Koroit, sending and receiving 22 text messages to seven different
phones. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
At 7.18pm she received a text message and 51 seconds later made the call to triple-0 after hitting the rider.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Magistrate
John Lesser said there were issues surrounding the case of great
community significance, especially drivers using mobile telephones.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
He noted that Davis’ comments were poorly put when she was interviewed by police.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Mr
Lesser noted that yesterday a Terang family business was fined $17,500
with more than $3000 costs after a workplace accident and the injuries
caused were not as significant as those suffered by the rider. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
The
wife of the bike rider was in court for the hearing yesterday and was
deeply disappointed Davis did not lose her licence for longer. </div>

You should probably buy this <a href="http://www.sophieblackall.com/illustration/missed-connections-2">book</a>. There's something beautiful, wistful and hopeful about it. The kindness of strangers and all that. </div>

Oh and as the author says in the introduction, if you're not moved by the Missed Connection on page 90 then maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore.</div>

Operation Amulet in Victoria has been running for 6 weeks and it has
been a huge success, yes a huge success. It was run in areas frequented
by cyclists (predominately road riders) and ran from 12 February until 6
April. It managed to highlight that even in areas that have almost a
1:1 ratio bikes to cars, it shows that cars break far more rules (so much
for registration ).<br />
<br />
Although some people felt they unfairly targeted cyclists, they didn't. What they did do is look for people endangering v<span class="text_exposed_show">ulnerable road users, sometimes we are our own worst enemy and will, therefore, be fined.</span><br />
<br />
Basic list of how it went:<br /> • 1669 car and truck offences <br /> • 301 bicycle offences <br /> • 241 motorcycle offences <br /> • 37 pedestrian offences<br />
<br />
Mobile phone use was particularly high with 317 car drivers fined for using their mobile phones while behind the wheel. <br />
Meanwhile, 92 motorcyclists were caught illegally riding in bicycle
lanes and 85 cyclists were fined for disobeying traffic lights.<br />
Lights missing from bikes after dark was another common reason for bikes
being fined. So remember to do the right thing, and avoid being out of
pocket.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
This awesome machine was created by Svenska street Artist Karl Adam Warrol aka <a href="http://www.akayism.org/">"Akay"</a>. In addition to the Robo-Rainbow, Akay has also made another similar, but simpler apparatus that goes behind the bicycle and paints only straight lines, allowing the user to spray quickly while in motion, thus lessening the risk of capture. Can't wait till they start selling them at Aldi.<br />
