... or OT. Sometimes you have something to say that isn't about bikes (shock!) so it belongs here.

Manly and snakes

Is anyone seeing snakes up around the Manly loop? I've seen 2 big browns in the last few months, 1 up around Allambie and 1 right on the Wakehurst corner. Also a Red Belly just up above Heartbreak Hill.

Upper North shore Jim's Mowing franchise for sale.

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

OK-so the link to Nobmob is a) I'm a MTB rider, b) my wife has just got a job in Canberra, the MTB capital of Australia, and strangely enough I want to be with her and c) you never know who is looking at the site and might be interested in my business.

Before I move I have to reluctantly sell my franchise so rather than put stuff up here that nobody might read or make sense of, if you have a few spare $xx,000, are maybe of thinking of a career change and are the least bit interested in finding out how good it is to own a (and in particular, my) Jim's Mowing franchise, give me a call.

Drivetrain WTF!

Yeah - good luck with figuring that out! Eye-wink

From here: http://bikehugger.com/2009/03/mystery-portuguese...
And here: http://bttdominhoaovouga.blogspot.com/ Spoilers in the comments - don't read this if you want to guess what it is Eye-wink

P.S. My guess is the hub has a sliding mechanism inside whereby it's driven by either the large cog or small cog, providing two speed shifting at the rear (and two at the front, for four speed overall).

Car-Free Suburb Planned for Melbourne, Australia

Yet more stuff happening in Vic that NSW should be doing?

Zone 9 is where the eco suburb might be.

Ah... doh! Sad

But it’s all pie in the sky just yet.

City Bike Depot (CBD) - Crap Customer Service!!

Below is a preview, click to read the full post

I managed to break 2 spokes on my Scott Spark while riding into work this morning (no idea how??). I called CBD and spoke to one of the staff (female). I asked if I could bring the bike in and wait while they fixed it, and she said sure, just make sure to come in either before or way after the peak lunch period. I went straight up there and went to the girl I had spoken to. Without a greeting or smile, she told me to go up to the workshop, which I did. The guy who runs the workshop comes over (and without a greeting or smile) asks what is up.
