bike insurance
Does anyone know about a bike insurance or contents insurance that covers bikes ? If you use contents insurance do you have the bike specified? Are you covered while racing? Is the bike covered for replacement value or secondhand value?
Any help or places to try would be great.
Buses replace trains in the blue mountains tomorrow
City rail will not be operating in the Blue Mountains tomorrow.
Time to fight back in traffic...?
Riding thorough heavy city traffic not dangerous enough for you? Try grabbing onto cars for a pull. Still not rough enough?Man, you are sick. Well, you might like this Skitch Aid design concept. It’s like those suction cups you’d use to climb buildings in your imagination, but you use it to grab onto the windows of passing cars to catch a tow downtown. What could possibly go wrong?
Full stubbie thrown at cyclist's face
Why?
POLICE believe a beer stubbie was full when it was thrown from a passing car and smashed into the face of a cycling Swiss tourist.
...
The 27-year-old tourist, identified as Thomas, lay on the bitumen verge of the Princes Freeway, blood pouring from the split in the flesh beside his nose, knocked senseless by a senseless act.

Beware Ribble Buyers
Hi all,
If you have ordered from Ribble in the last 6 months i suggest you check your credit card statement, it seems as though your credit card details may have been stolen.
I was charged approx $1200 over the weekend (comes up as being charged from CEBU AIR), i ordered from Ribble back in November and December. It seems as though others have had the same problem and Ribble is the common denominator, see here http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewtopic.php?...
I had to cancel my card and get a new one issued.
So check ASAP

They start with 25 participants, round 2 is 19 and round 3 is 9. Whoever comes 1st out of the last round wins the overall race.
