This is what shits me.
What shits me is many of the designated bike trails are littered with broken glass, rocks etc.... be ****** if I am gonna ride my $5k bike on them. Would you drive your $50k car in a paddock?
actually, we spent over $60k on our car, and yes, i do drive it in a paddock, every chancce i get. its quite fun actually, you should try it. just make sure you use the right paddock, the farmer usually gets a bit shirty when you do it in the middle of the crop....
So its a 4 wheel drive that is built for that purpose... makes perfect sense..... I think we have 2 different arguments here!
Yes and no. The current car is a 4wd, but i also did it in my ss ute, and thats far from high riding, and was north of 50k to purchase. Circlework is fun.
I just dont see the argument that because there is "crap" in the cycle lanes you wont ride there. Get some decent puncture resistant tyres, and suck it up. Inconveniencing other road users in no way makes them sympathetic to cyclists, there needs to be give and take, on both sides
