collision

I was late to work today. This week I've been catching the bus. I had managed to injure my leg while coming downhill and riding off a 30m cliff getting off my cousin's trial bike. Anyway, hopefully my leg will be better by next week for ride to work/uni day (in order to claim free breakfast).
Anyway, the 902 had a hard time getting southbound through Glen Waverley. Two cars had collided in the turning lane from Springvale Road into Coleman Parade. Police cars and a fire truck blocked off the adjacent southbound lane as well as the eastbound exit of Railway Parade North. Springvale Road down to two lanes should be bearable but it wasn't.
It turns out that another two cars had managed to sandwich a motorcycle in the next lane. They had stopped and weren't helping with traffic flow. Two policewomen jogged over to help. Springvale Road southbound was down to one lane only. Ridiculous.
Since the eastbound exit of Railway Parade North was blocked, the bus driver took us around the back of Novotel via Kingsway. Good on him for trying.

  1. I'm still at the soldering place in Mulgrave. There's just a few different ways of getting there.

  3. Uhh, normal bicycles don't have those kind of viciously-shaped pedals. A trial bike has those jagged pedals because they lack a seat - so you need the extra stability that those pedals provide. So that's really not a valid excuse not to cycle. :P
