Up the trail to Carnegie for an appointment, then back down to Huntingdale and on to work. I took the D-lock, but forgot the key, so a bit of creative cable tangling and lock placement and I could pretend that the #fixie was locked
Two fun interactions with Melbourne’s Marvellous Motorists; the first, large SUV, the driver spotted a gap in the traffic and came flying around the left turn from Neerim road into Murrumbeena road and suddenly realised that the bike path lights were red and people were crossing in front of her – much screeching and slid to a halt half into the Djerring trail, I guess its a pleasant change from the drivers who go straight through, completely oblivious.
The second one, at the huge Dandenong road/North road intersection, endless lines of turning cars, vans and trucks drove through the orange, then through the red, then finally queueing completely across the foot crossing and two of the four eastbound lanes. Our lights went green leaving the drivers to blast on their horns and fume impotently, and the pedestrians and cyclists to pick their way through gridlocked traffic through the intersection!
