Risk
Warning Ø Expend 5 min studying your street directory for the 2nd (Common) Leg from Cnr Mid Dural Rd and Old Northern Rd left into Cattai Ridge Rd, Halcrows Rd, Sackville Ferry, Wilberforce Rd, The Terrace to Windsor Ø Don't ride two abreast on single lane roads with an unbroken centre line and descend corners on wet roads as though you are skating on ice Ø When passing a fellow Mugg, always provide a metre clearance. If you can't, or are passing on the inside, you MUST call out loudly eg. "passing inside" etc |

Some forms of cycling are dangerous. An ave of 36 Australian cyclists have been killed annually since 2000. 95% of these fatalities occur on the road. Other cyclists in Australia break bones and incur nerve impairment from falling off their bikes in accidents.
A cyclist could fall from his/her bike, inter alia,
due to -
(iii) cycling too fast on a wet downhill where the
coefficient of friction is much less, particularly at corners; or
A negligent cyclist could - (a) be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or 3rd party (ie. a woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law where the damages could exceed $500,000; and (b) lose his/her home if he/she did not have public liability insurance which covers their negligence whilst on a push bike. A negligent cyclist who did not have personal injury insurance (ie self-employed without income protection cover) could struggle to meet regular outgo commitments.
A seriously injured cyclist could be awarded damages
which a negligent cyclist could not afford to pay if the negligent
cyclist -
Ø
Cycling
without Public Liability cover is as silly as driving without 3rd Party -
Ø Click on: Risk Management which warns of 'inter alia', the dangers of cycling on public roads with motor cars, potholes and over bridges with vertical timber planks with gaps Ø Cycling with Muggs is predicated upon notifying Bank Teller if you materially disagree with any clause(s) in Muggaccinos' "Ride Participants Liability Acknowledgment" |

Scribe's pics of 94km Cinque Montagnes anti c/w from nth Turra' and 73km Trois Montagnes anti c/w from Hornsby - 15 cyclists
Above 'n below pics from a steamy Brooklyn Wharf après 36km from Nth Turra' which Caroline and Sloth rode or 25km from Hornsby which started punctually at 7:30am on the dot whereupon dawdlers had to catch-up
A close up of Olivier aka PrivateBusDriver who didn't finish his "drive the drunks from the Big Smoke back to Dural" shift 'til 2:30pm
The day got hotter and steamier. Bank
Teller "fell-apart something horrible" on the final climb up from G.G.
Doesn't know if it is because he has been "off the turps" for almost two
weeks or 'cause he hasn't ridden for two weeks having volunteered for the
Parra' Pedal last week. |
