The lass on the RHS took the above pic from The Serpentine, after Bank Teller asked her to, explaining that he wanted to be in the pic instead of always snapping 'em.
Scribe had an altercation with a motorist about 300m East of Pattersons Patisserie on Mona Vale Rd.  Scribe took umbrage at the motorist beeping his horn and remonstrating that Scribe should veer over into the gutter.
Click on: Scribe's report to the Gordon Police after he took umbrage at a motorist honking him to pull over from where he was cycling down the the centre of the LH lane, so the motorist could squeeze by, whilst Scribe tinkered on the brink cycling along the gutter.  Scribe pulled-up from 35km an hour in front of the motorist and took the rude bastard on.
