Secure bike parking in Sydney
Folks,
I'm wondering if there's any secure bike parking available in the CBD. The parking at my work location (201 Sussex St) is fairly pitiful and although the security guard (aka parking attendant) claims it's secure I am highly suspicious.
Further, a lot of the available parking in the city is not well suited to modern dual suspension mountain bikes.
Now here's some bike parking taken seriously:
Trails in Lane Cove National Park (e.g. West Pymble) weekday arvos or Sundays?
Im in West Pymble and am looking if there are any local riders that do the trails through the Lane Cove National Park. I ride reguarly and am keen to go for a quick trail after work.
Getting bored riding by myself as my mates dont have bikes they can trust on the trails.
I have footy training on Wed nights and play on Sat but would be keen to hit the trails untill the sun comes down most arvos if anyone's interested.

recycling cool stuff.....
Had to laugh today...was just walking the streets and I saw this old bike locked up...
it caught my eye because it had this huge plastic box on the handle bars..
Closer inspection revealed it was an old analog cycle odometer with a needle speedo on it...like the ones that come on old stationary bikes.
Hey if it works ...why not? ; )

End of Daylight Saving
Just a friendly reminder to all that daylight savings ends tonight, do the magic with your clocks and double check if your riding with someone in the morning.
Happy trails

Cromer Golf Course
The recent discussions about the legallity of riding the Bantry bay track got me thinking about other tracks that are well riden.
Does anyone know if the Cromer Golf Club has any objections to us ridng on their land when we do the loop around Narrabeen Lakes?
Dam Dogs
Posted this over on 26 Inches, but thought you gys all being locals thought might stick it up here too.
At Manly Dam yesterday, riding up the fire road next to the pipe yesterday, pass a couple walking two large dogs off their leads. One of the dogs, a friken Doberman, walks right in front of me so I have to turn to avoid it ( not going that fast as it was still uphill).
Suddenly the dog goes berserk and starts running after me, barking. Then it bit me on the leg. Stoked. Lucky I had pads on. I stopped and got off my bike so that it was between me and the dog. The guy comes running over yelling at it and the dog runs off.
looking for a new 'safer' ride
I am looking for a new safer ride. I mostly ride the manly dam circuit and I tend to walk some of the more technical sections but even still come home with various grazes, bruises and even a dislocated finger.
All of this I can deal with but my pregnant wife (5 months) is not so impressed. Also because of the upcoming addition to our family I am tending to be more cautious and hesitating at the wrong times. So I am looking for a ride that is a little less challenging.
I enjoy the combination of fire trail and single trail but I think I need a track where mistakes aren’t so badly punished. My main goals are fitness and a slow improvement in skills.
Cunning Stunts from the LAnd of the Wrong White Cloud
Came across this today, sure to be of interest to anyone remotely interested in North Shore Style stunts. Crappy vid quality but well worth the look NZ North Shore
60 minutes - this Sunday
Just saw the ad on TV. A guy slams into a tree on his bike at full speed, his friends must have been filming it. and the story is about his treatment and stuff it seems. But i'm sure it will have loads of riding, plus loads of "the dangers our youth are up....where are your children now" usual media rants.
Might be worth a watch.
cheers
Mike
