iKon shocks are great arent they. Had them on my Kwaka, went with Hagon (UK) shocks with a classic shroud for my Trumpy. They also make a good shock.

Anyway well done, nice looking bike. Be great for taking to a cancer fundraiser ride we have called "The distinguished gentleman's ride" https://www.gentlemansride.com/

15k seems ok for something like this, would definitely buy one if the start sending them to Australia 🇦🇺

So friggin cool. Modern bits but looks 100yrs old. I want one, but may not be able to afford one. What does something like this cost?

Here in Australia sleeping under gum trees is dangerous as they randomly shed limbs. But on the bright side we don't have bears (everything else on the continent is going to try to kill you though)

Outside a fish'n'chip shop?

Well with so many people living in their cars I reckon a family of four would sleep comfortably.

Unfortunately they seem to be mainly owned by arrogant wankers.

As a cyclist, hit and run by a car, resuscitated 3 times, massive blood loss, massive cranio-facial injuries and traumatic brain injury, zero compensation etc. I think I may have a reason to "fuck cars" but I don't. I was just trying to give a different perspective to the conversation. Which seems to have gone down like a diarrhoea thickshake.

So yeah I must have just blew in from the car brain community. Sorry to disturb your group, I will not bother you again.

The education should be "everyone and everything on the road is trying to kill you. I think jaywalking rules may be an american thing. But simply Cars are more noticeable visibly and audibly, pedestrians can stop and change direction orders of magnitude faster than cars. Do I think built up urban areas should discourage car use? Yes

I agree with your dotpoints and their implementation would go a long way to reducing deaths and trauma.

I also think cyclists and pedestrians have a responsibility to make themselves visible, be predictable and follow the same road rules when on the road.

How is it a false equivalence? I can tell you that avoiding obstacles(pedestrians, cyclists, dogs etc) in a split secnd can cause accidents I dont think I need to explain that. As far as 4-12yr olds maybe what used to be done could be an answer. Hold their hand when walking across the road. I dunno, I don't have all the answers.

I didn't think I needed a relationship to join a conversation.
