do you really need a sign to tell you that you shouldn’t cycle where fuel tankers are doing 90 km/ph?
i don’t know how cyclists do it in sydney – drivers are impatient, aggressive and intolerant. although there’s no culture of bicycles or motorbikes in sydney, give me a motorcycle anyday, at least i’m heard and can pull out of a situation quickly.
obviously not one of the city of sydney’s awesome new cycleway network.

look at what’s going on here. lamp posts, signage, mobile phone towers, big brother cameras, posts poles, columns, those dangly things that make noise when a too-high truck passes them, concrete and galvanised steel. what you don’t see in the photo is the black dust from exhaust fumes, millions, yes i am sure, millions of cigarette butts and piles of rubbish thrown out the windows of moving (and sometimes not moving) vehicles, like it’s someone else’s problem.
when are people going to realise that when they throw their crap onto the street, rather than into a bag, that yes sure, it will be someone else’s problem, but also a problem to themselves and their families? boggles the mind it does.

somewhere along general holmes drive.
who was general holmes anyway?
i did some reading on the guy and can tell you this:
he was born in 1862 and went to paddington public school, he joined the military at 10 years of age and late went to south africa to fight the boer wars. during ww1, he overthrew german command of new guinea, was posted to gallipoli in march 1915, which he survived and then got sent to the western front in april 1916.
he was killed by german shells in july 1917 and is buried in belgium.
there you go folks, now you know who that road is named after, whether you agree with it or not.

whoever got rid of the 5 on this sign did a pretty clean job. in all reality, you CAN actually take this corner at about 30. good lord, if the tourists and elderly sunday drivers going through the park take heed of this sign, i will never get where i am going. I suppose it just balances out the local maianbar and bundeena hoons a bit.

found in a backstreet of Petersham.
why would anyone decide to spray this onto a wall? did they think it out, or was it a spur of the moment thing?
i think it was thought out, only because there is no other tag or throw-up with the same paint on the same wall.
cracks me up that someone commented on it as well. BTW – nice tag ‘Relms’.

back to this theme from a previous post – shoes on a powerline - again, but i just couldn’t go past this one. shoes with a view. looks like they have been there for a while.
i have to say, that was one Very good throw.
if bolts and birkenstocks are your thing, why not nail a jesus sandal onto a pole?
