water on bike path nr Burswood
Postby purplegolden » Thu Jun 28, 2007 12:33 pm
Hi guys
riding into work today I had to go through portions of the bike path after the Wyndam Bridge (spelling?) going towards Burswood which was covered in over 8cm of water. So be careful and be prepared to get your feet wet if you go that way.

Hi Andrew
I was going to - then I decided I'd ride home that way since I hate the hill nr Parliament House. Anyway, the water was gone!
I think it must have been a combo of recent rain and a high tide. Drainage would not have been an option - but I will report it to DPI as there is now a lot of debris across the path.

If the water is salt water, then don't ride thru it, even if you have to carry your bike over it.
If the R-1 rule is broken, what happens to N+1?

I think that the water level over this and probably other paths near the river is related to 'high water level resulted from a combination of last night's full moon and high tides, a low-pressure system moving in, heavy swell and onshore winds'. So be careful out there!

News.com.au is showing a picture of the bike path I normally commute on. Call me soft if you will, but I'm glad I grabbed a lift in a cage with a workmate yesterday: this is what I faced on my homeward trip had I ridden in yesterday (the bike path is on the left of the left-hand fence as we see it here.)
Cheers,
Graeme

Took the floaties off the bike a couple of weeks ago and can't find them now.europa wrote:Ya woose. What stopped ya?

I didn't ride today because I knew the path would be (and was) covered with seaweed, sand and other marine debris. On the way in I saw them with a bobcat clearing it away, so I'll ride tomorrow.
Cheers,
