I loved riding with you and catching up , as we do, at these protest events. You have a real talent for public speaking, managing to turn your account of your absurd dealings with the law, into an entertaining story.<br />Thanks also for the present left in the kitchen and for the session with coffee/cake/dishes and funtimes all at once.<br />We have lots of ideas as a result of Saturdays talks so heres to the future!Kathy Francisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090991993980511979.post-30243868276679967692012-10-08T13:43:39.341+11:002012-10-08T13:43:39.341+11:00Loved it, Nik, as always..well done to all of you,...Loved it, Nik, as always..well done to all of you, and yes it's good the police are taking this more tolerant position - if only they could be supported by our elected representatives who's intransigence keeps this country in the dark ages in terms of tranpsortation - it's madness that politicians continue to waste valuable police and court resources.<br /><br />Many thanks againFreedom Cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187400454555241935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090991993980511979.post-85991208227403192012-10-08T13:35:38.962+11:002012-10-08T13:35:38.962+11:00HI Sue, glad you had a good time down here, despit...HI Sue, glad you had a good time down here, despite the freezing rain (?).<br /><br />I think the police cooperation with the protest was a good sign. They may be waking up to the fact that enforcing helmet laws does more harm than good. And police in Vic have a fine tradition of tolerance for civil protest.<br /><br />It's mainly the police on bicycles that see it as their role to persecute cyclists whenever possible.NIKDOWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02995342882173651211noreply@blogger.com
