The Greens are now the sensible centre. That's how far right Labor have veered under Albanese. The rest would make Genghis Khan proud.

I can't work out TP is not six, nine or twelve ply. Then one could use one square at a time rather than multiple squares folded over.

Yet some of the great unwashed illiterates will believe she will do it and vote for her. Then be surprised when it doesn't happen.

There was so much hope for this mob when they got rid of awful Morrison government and Dr Ryan beat the equally awful #JoshieFromAccounts. Then they were sent a free pass with unelectable Dutton. It has been downhill from there. Such a disappointment. We might have hope now with David Shoebridge.

Amazing after almost 200km it comes down to millimeters. So easy to love this sport.

Huh? Driver turns across oncoming bicycle rider and it's the street design fault? I sincerely hope you don't drive.

He does this because he is living the result of power. He's forgotten his roots, except to talk about it for his own benefit. Power corrupts. Unfortunately Albanese has fallen victim in the same way #ScottyFromMarketing did.

You attacked the OP as a "bitter asshole (sp) cyclist" If that doesn't set out your stall then not much does. There are very few places in the world your so-called "asshole (sp) cyclists" don't have the right to ride side by side and you HAVE to pass wider. Looks like the issue is you here.

I am a cyclist but.... Here we go again. So tedious. But this time it's capitalised. As if that gives more credibility to the whine.

In more than a few decades of bicycle riding I have found guys on aero bars the most polite, friendly and considerate bicycle riders when you pass them. Or they you. I also believe all motorists, particularly those in oversized trucks, love bicycle riders.

Having read the first 100 or so I think it's fair to observe that not many of those first 100 commentators actually joined a Rapha Clubhouse, a RCC ride or even owned a few items of Rapha clothing. Nothing like a brand you don't like or can't afford failing?

Quality race. No one gave up till the finish line in 180km of racing.

What is it with bicycle race commentators? I've just heard the most nothing statement of all time on Women's Elite World Championships: Yah, I mean, you know. What exactly does that mean? You know and I mean are thrown in every 2nd sentence. Why can't they be taught to speak English properly?

Rob Booth @rob-booth.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
And their team in Sydney is great, the clubhouse is good while FAR is a great day out and the Rapha Summit, although expensive, is a good use of my resources to go on a cycling holiday with luxury attached. Any fool can be uncomfortable.

Really good article, Peter. As an aside, has anyone read a bad article by Flax? I wouldn't wear Rapha when they sponsored Sky and their dopers. But after a few 10hr+ rides I went looking for great bibs. Coolness doesn't really worry me at three score plus, fit and comfort does.

Funny how a CEO got fired as soon as you stated it was ok kit to wear. I don't think there is a more influential writer in the cycling ecosystem. I quite like my Rapha pink jersey and gilet. The new, this year, RCC shirts are great too.

Such a disappointment. So much potential to do good after saving us from Morrison. But then Dutton made him arrogant. Achieved very little with his majority. Unless you count what he has given the oil and gas industry and the gambling industry.

New World order? Except @albomp.bsky.social has chosen to get closer to the septics and his bestie in the WH. Hardly breaking from the "old rules" destroyed by the US. He is confused. Look at his selfie with that awful man. #aukus

Hey @benjyminty.bsky.social do you think Pam's blind person could move this truck out of the way?

Humans are selfish beings. This bin was meant for fishing hooks. I campaigned to have the bin removed, once it was the dogshit problem disappeared.
Bin overflowing with bags filled with dogshit as their humans are too a) selfish or b) stupid to realise it's not a bin for dogshit. Full? Just put it on the ground.

What you are saying is a blind person can move a car but not a bicycle?

Lots of experience but... Amazing how these small minded people get triggered by riders finding safe ways to go quicker than them and then get triggered by riders holding them up by going slower. All the time forgetting that self preservation by riders is a huge motivator of safety.

Presented as a such binary choice. They can't ride so why should you? Because they don't ride why should there be safe infrastructure? Well, I personally don't often go to hospital A&E but does that mean we, as a society, should not fund hospitals? Quite sad, this lack of intellectual thought.

I'm a cyclist but vibes. Always I'm in favour or I'm a cyclist followed by some petty criticism. How often I'm a motorist but this motorist double parked like a dick or parked in a no parking zone? Not very often.

Owned by the gas companies. @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social are so disappointing on gas revenue and bending the knee to gas. They are all talk and hot air on reforming the sector.

While they give the fossil fuel and mining industries billions while they destroy our planet. Approve millions of tons of CO2 projects, refuse to stop the damage done by gambling. But I'm glad they give you a few dollars every year.
