I've heard mention of a diver on Kingsford Smith Drive - but can't remember the side street. Anyone know from first hand experience?

So please post your warnings here. Good luck and safe cycling.

I've seen many a cyclist with cable ties poking out of their lids, but never tried it meself. Is it an effective deterrent?

Barton Hwy, heading towards Yass, about 500m before the ACT/NSW border. As far as magpies go, this one was pretty "friendly". Flew above me for about 100m, and swooped in close about four times, but didn't make contact. If they were all as "friendly" as this one I'd almost look forward to this aspect of spring cycling.

Anyone care to discuss without the need for me to chase up that link?
The magpie that i "Know" just likes to tap on my head and say hello - so keen to keep it at that rather than poke my fleshy parts.
