Bike riding in Mt Annan after close
I received a email today asking people to not organise riding of the new Mt Annan tracks after closing time , as we all know there are limited amount of tracks to ride on if people keep abusing the use of these important measures they will be taken away from us very easily . So for eveybody pleasure of riding make sure you are already riding way before the gates are closed & you are a member of friends of the gardens or get in the park early in the morning just before it opens .

EPIRBs and PLBs
Not sure if this comes under geek gear, but it's electronic so here you go.
Regarding this story in the SMH...

... this climber only seems to have been saved as they were carrying an PLB (well, the story says, "a locator beacon").
Yes, yes, it's never going to happen to you, but consider a worst case scenario:

Silly Question - Bike Hooks
I got some ceiling bike hooks/claws for Xmas, and I have been hanging the bike up on two of them by the wheel rims up side down. I am wondering if hanging the bike up side down by the wheels may put the rims out of shape by stretching out spokes. Anyone else use these ceiling claws and hang their bikes by the wheels? anyone heard anything bad by using them?
