I think its undeniable Cycling is a good mode of transport for people who travel the distances that I do in the Inner City (Its one of the reasons I brought my Vespa) but the problem with Cyclists in Melbourne is that this city is nothing at all like the examples these PPL give of Bike Friendly Cities in Europe they see easily becoming. Amsterdam is only 219 square kilometres but bloody Melbourne is almost 10,000 square kilometres plus it has over four times the population of Amsterdam Now its great if Claudia wants to ride from her share house in East Brunswick to Fitzroy for a beer along Bike Friendly roads in the Inner North but the thing is when Axel based in Dandenong has a Truckload he needs to take as well to Fitzroy he also has to use the same Bike Friendly/Car Unfriendly roads. We can convert as many of these roads as we want and it obviously benefits a fair few in the community and so we should do as such but it seems there is not many around my place that have not been converted. Which is a problem because just because these new Bike Friendly Roads exist does not make it possible to ride from Frankston to Melbourne (All part of the same city). Its not like anyone is riding that often from Amsterdam to Rotterdam (Two very fucken different places) which is the same distance/travel time everyday are they?

Hate to disagree with a bloke that just won me over 600 bucks today but believe me I def appreciate close calls... some PPL have never heard of side mirrors and some PPL have not heard of looking through a Windshield when creeping forward at the lights.

And you'd be in much more scarier situations than a cyclist as you're travelling at faster speeds and in the same lanes as other vehicles....most motorbike riders I know tend to align themselves to cyclists rather than a motorist for that reason.

Well I look at this stuff from a real Inner City Experience which is different to the average Motorbike/Vespa Rider as I drive next to as many Cyclists as I do Cars and usually on slow roads... ESP now I have moved even closer to the city. And I have noticed Cyclists TBH are bigger kents to you than Motorists in general... most Motorists these days want you to get past them and often move aside at the lights bar the occasional bogan in a VT. Cyclists on the other hand will often give you sprays for passing them and "Using The Bike Lane" when you use the half a vacant lane that isn't allocated for bikes... and even though its clearly painted where the Bike Lane actually is and is not some pipe up straight away. There is a real sense of entitlement amongst some of these guys but on the other hand you get some nice one's who compliment the Scooter as well.

And for those that want to cycle, I'm sure they'll be plenty of opportunities to convert parking spaces to cycling lanes cause a lot of them will no longer be needed.

I mean seriously forget who he was singing about (And who is posting this if need be) and focus on what he singing about which is: Child Abuse. Now thousands of Australian’s suffer from severe Post Traumatic Stress from being abused as a child so he decides to sing a fucken song about it on National TV because his a Militant Atheist and does not think any of these People (Whoever they were abused by) might not want to hear a song about something they have been recovering from their whole lives?

They hated it they went to the most expensive school in the state in the most expensive part of Perth but we still dominated them in most Sports as a much more affordable Catholic School on the other side of the river and that our school was more well known.

HeartFc Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Tim Minchin is racist catholophobe and his bigoted song drives the community further apart and as a result creates more peadophile catholic priests who feel ostracised by society and therefor rape more kids. If you make a peado priest joke you're creating more hate, in fact the whole royal commission is a hate filled exercise designed to paint all catholics with the same brush.

There is one bloke who only has one head he can turn and the other thing is there are so many unspoken things a Ref has do as well as apply the rules of the game to not look like an idiot. A good example we see each week is the amount of Frees the Ref has to let go for opposition players holding Tuna, if a Ref paid a free to the letter of the law for every time a defender infringed by holding him the game would look like a farce as he would receive 15 a game. I find the way the three umpires do shit in AFL far more annoying than how the A-League and Soccer in general is adjudicated.

Absolutely, umpiring by the spirit of the game and the letter of the law are two completely different things: but try telling some toothless bogan supporter that on talkback radio... The AFL are guilty of pandering to much to the letter of the law rather than what the laws were intended for, which however wrong is completely understandable in modern day Australia. IMO soccer is much better refereed in that aspect. Edited March 23, 2016 by bt50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reffed myself, and while referees are only human, it's just they are constantly fucking up big decisions. I can live with the odd couple going against you here and there, thats just the way sport is, but missing blatant penalties is another thing. What i'd love to see is something like tennis where you could challenge a refs decision or something along those lines. Soccer out of all sports just seems to be underutilising technology so much For instance why has goal line technology not been introduced into the a-league yet? Is it a money thing that they can't put it in the a-league yet or is it something like FIFA is holding it back? I'm generally curious why something so simple hasn't been put into the game yet.
