I simply prefer to ride like 'da man' and resist any reaction to the claws and beaks snapping away.

I would have to agree with you on that one. It's similar to going after the shark which has just attacked someone in the water. They are only doing what's natural and so what if we get a little surprised by the buggers?SeanB wrote:I find that disgusting tbh.alex wrote:http://www.legislation.sa.gov.au/LZ/C/A ... .56.UN.PDF

My most feared magpie has begun as well (only me of course, I've seen no-one else become a target).Richard.L wrote:Ok i just got swopped today (YES IT'S STILL 1.5 MONTHS TILL SPRING!!)
Last year he kept flying by the door of a caravan I was in, then when I was in a stable he flew in the door looking for me. His partner has also distracted me while he comes in from the side. Unfortunately the rural property (with the caravan and stables) that is in his territory is somewhere I go a few times a month... so it's not just I have to ride through his territory, but that I stay there. And he does NOT like that.

given the choice, would you rather share the roads with a woman texting in her four-wheel-drive, a manic truckie, a boy in a grey-import turbo, or a cyclist?
