lolz, sorry ryan, wasn’t directed at you, or anyone for that matter. In fact i think it’s an indirect quote from Shifter Dan, when everyone was bitching about his new place being off Chapel St.
i rode that everyday to work for 4 months. it wasn’t as bad as the 2km ish section of north rd past oasis bakery, which is two lanes each way with a clearway in the morning, the gutter till 3 feet into the rd is cobbles, and everyone is switching lanes constantly to avoid either parked cars, or cars stopped in the inner lane to turn right. sweaty palms most mornings.
Pfft, I’ve ridden most of those roads and they’re nothing.
Belgrave Hallam road, the road directly north from my place, the link to the bottom carpark of lysterfield lake park.
90km/h, so most go 100. A 45 degree drop to the west, a 45 degree hill on the east. Blind corners too.
only rode it once.
I rode down Sydney rd daily for years and never had any accidents, some close calls but no eating road. I got cleaned up on Canning st ( two shoulder op’s to get my shit working as it should) which is a really bike friendly street so who knows. Kinda funny really.
another street, that i have been doored on about 5 times is William Street.
just saw a guy on monday get forced into the gutter by a car driving into the bike lane…
its a real bitch of a street, but i gotta do it daily cause of work…
