He a savage sod. Very persistant. Often not happy with one go.shiv wrote:Veloway maggie is bloody persistant. Had a crack at me while going almost 50kph!! Worst thing was knowing I had to ride back past it up the hill at 20 odd kph.

There is another nasty one on Hallet cove path, and thats dodgy too, heading down hill.
Why arent they swooping when TDU on, make the race alot more interesting.

Yes he is very persistant and a bloody pest! Had a crack at me while I was going out, so on the way back I got off the bike and tried to stare him down. The little bugger stalked me from tree to tree til I thought I was through his territory. The second I got back on the bike he swooped me!!!!shiv wrote:Veloway maggie is bloody persistant.

Next time on your way back up, stop and find a stick on side of path, and just wave it above your head when he starts coming at you. Worked for me last time and thankfully he/she stayed far enough away that no harm came to either of us.bepboy wrote:Yes he is very persistant and a bloody pest!

I have hosted it on a special page on Adelaide Cyclists (URL REMOVED) . You can click on the link at the bottom of the map to go directly to the map and add your attack location. You do need a Google account. Click Edit, select blue marker, drag to location, click Done then Save.
Don't forget to put the cable ties on your helmet.
Cheers
Angus
