Interesting ride home this evening. After a random comment yesterday about Gardiners’ Creek path being far too windy and slow I decided to try the road today. The distance was slightly less, the average speed while riding was higher, but I spent so much time sitting at red lights that I think it ended up taking me longer. That was using a combination of Dandenong road and Orrong road, I’m sure there are other ways.
It also let me observe some more of the motorist inhabitants of this city. I guess I’m fairly lucky in that I can commute on a bike path, and that the path does seem to actually go where I want it to. There’s currently a discussion raging in <aus.bicycles> regarding 4WDs, specifically stereotypically Toorak-tractor urban 4WDs, owned as status symbols and only ever driven to and from work, or to take the kiddies to school.
