Some people just don't help themselves, twice this rainy week at night I've been surprised to see a cyclist in front of me, sans lights, helmet or reflective clothing. Generally I'm pretty careful and there is very good visibility from my car but these ones were a complete surprise, out of nowhere. The other morning a cyclist shot through a red light just as my green turn arrow ok'd me to cross his path. Sydney is a hideous place to cycle as transport. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
