Beware of random arse holes at station platforms that want to beat the living shit out of you and steal your bike because you don’t let them ride it!
Last night @ southern cross station (east end) I was a bit out of sorts and couldn’t really ride my bike so I decided to catch the train!
Big mistake!
Arse hole approched me and asked to ride my bike, I said no, he got abusive and said I’d be dead if there wasn’t so many camera’s around.
He then borded my train and said when I get off he’d beat me to a pulp and take my bike!
He actually got off the next station but promised when he saw me again that I’d be dead!!! :-o
Yeah, I’ve had a few of the moments… not as bad though, but my girlfriend and I were lucky enough to have to ride past Schutzenfest (aka shitzenfaced) both nights it was on. I kept the u lock in the back pocket ready for any drunken fucks (or cars. Or drunken fucks in cars).
What??? You didn’t drop in for a “Traditional Bavarian Slap Dance lesson”? :-o
(interestingly, the traditional Bavarian Slap Dance has its origins in a misunderstanding, when on a night out late in 1837, Nuremberg resident Heinrich Frommer asked his slightly deaf mate Otto if he wanted to go get a lap dance…and an oddly compelling new folk-art form was born…)
goons at north melbourne / flagstaff with more bikes get on and ‘sort out’ any differences
(I thought SX had a north end and a south end … enlighten me? if you’re on the east end, that’s the Spencer St side, what about all those delightful security guards who magically appear out of nowhere if you’re riding your bike instead of walking it?)
He should get down there and really clean up the serious issues in Melbourne. Kick those Bogans back to Franga and teach those cyclists for using Sweanston st, all in one hit, think of the efficiency…oh yeah he’s in Russia dealing with a diplomatic crisis.
“I was very clearly advised by our ambassador to Russia and the consul-general in Russia that there would be very serious damage if I did not go to St Petersburg, and they have written that to me in the firmest of terms,” he told Radio 3AW.
Wiki: Critics point out that politicians can use the sister cities as an excuse to take free paid holidays at the public’s expense, and in one case utilised to go see their mistresses.
Wonder if this applies - although Mrs Doyle ain’t too hard on the eye.
