When I lived in Brisbane Australia, where cycling is huge, large groups would meet early each morning for a pre-work ride. They would buzz by my house along our street on the river shouting at one another waking up folks left and right. Do understand, it is common to have all windows, sliding glass WALLS open during the night there. Numerous complaints, formal and polite meetings with cyclists, homeowners and LEO have been going on for years and no change. They could clearly GAF. A loose bunch of pitt bulls could have been handy.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
