Risk Warning Ø Do not cycle over the metal girders on the ramp at the Berowra Waters ferry, if you opt to cycle off the ferry, 'cause you will come down hard, like many before you. Ø Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday Ø Expend 5 min studying your street directory for this route, if you haven't ridden it before 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 at least 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" |

Good to see Grant aka BeanCounter back in the saddle. It was his first ride in six months - He would have slept hard that night

Why would RMS (nee RTA) have a 60km p/h sign on the final descent to the West Head Lookout followed 90 metres later by a 35km p/h yellow sign when the below 'negatively cambered corner' has evidenced a welter of push bikes and motor bikes have Come a Cropper all too often with disastrous injuries? One cyclist, Jhonnie Blampied, spent three months in a coma after coming off at this infamous Blackspot on 3 Sept. '03.
250 metres after the 35km p/h sign is the above 15km p/h sign
