[DUG] Apple iPad - OT

[Conor Boyd]

Basically the need for a bit more tolerance from both cyclists and
car-drivers to sharing the road.
 
Exacerbated this week by a guy who lives in Cashmere, drives a black
Hummer (plate WARNIN with a surround that says "does not play well with
others"), and who posted online this week that he had knocked 2 cyclists
into the kerb in the last 6 months and was quite prepared to do the same
again, but who subsequently half-heartedly apologised after he realised
that he was easily identifiable as Richard Freeman, the co-owner of the
Sign of the Takahe cafe/restaurant and a number of other businesses who
look like they will be taking a bit of a dent in patronage from now on.
 
Front page news in the Press on Wednesday I think it was.
 
Following by an alleged case of car-passenger assault on a cyclist at
the bottom of Dyers Pass Road yesterday morning.
 
Neither side are completely blameless, and it's a small minority on
either side who make it seem more of a car/cyclist war than it actually
is, or than it should be.
 
Personally, I'm glad I've got a commute that mostly sticks to quieter
roads than the main arteries.
