Hi, After many stalled attempts at starting track riding for various reason. Thinking of trying again. Bikes are my only transport. So need to rideto and from veladrome. Is there storage available, even at a fee, there to keep a bike? Or, if not are flip flop hubs allowed? So can ride there, with re...

cycling NSW emails
Hi,
i dont know if anyone has any sway or contacts, but..
cycling NSW sends me each email relating to my membership 3 to 4 times. I have contacted them multiple times about it via email with zero responses from them.
About to just give up and ditch membership.

Anyone ride outside club ride times.
Hi,
Can't ride the sat and Sunday morning club rides. Or the early weekday ones.
So does any one have rides outside these? Preferably slow ones for now.

Bogan-proof jerseys?
I am a little over the ever increasing bogan bigot talk happening in cyclists. Historically cycling's base has been the working class. Also study (and my daily two wheels experience) show the most dangerous on the road are those in luxury cars, due a higher likelihood of driver having overdose of se...

Yeah, barrie wouldnt confirm the track bike question (one lot of course info said velodrome riding required) and gave complete different form to one on cycling nsw site.
Couldn't clarify anything unfortunately.

Cool bananas. Also there is possible implications from changing from at-fault to no-fault CTP. Currently if cyclist hit by car, with car in the wrong, the driver's insurance will rightly cover it. With no-fault system, whose/what insurance will cover the rider? Will riders not be covered or will cyc...

If the only failure point was at the weld point, then there'd be an arguable case. As there's associated buckling of both top and down tubes, it's hard to excuse the magnitude of impact. And as we know, it's not so much the "biggness" of the impact, but the specific magnitude of the force...
