You disgrace #Emilyday @theage - those cyclists are someone’s : Mum, Dad, Sister, Brother, Child, etc, maybe reflect on what it would mean if someone you cared about was mowed down by a 4WD.

A mate said he won’t get the vaccine because he doesn’t know what’s in it. I said tell me the “12 secret herbs & spices” in the KFC Chicken you love to eat 😂😂😂 #vaccine #covid – at Melbourne, Victoria

Dear @DanielAndrewsMP. You intend to spend $3 million taxpayer 💵 for a retired judge to look into the hotel quarantine errors. Instead I do it for free now. Untrained security guards bad idea. Apology accepted. Enquiry finished. Use the 3 million for public schools maybe? 👍

Kudos to whoever made this. The brilliance of finding the perfect song for each fall was outstanding. I laughed so hard at 1:00 and then at 1:33. Thank you for making this. xitter.gq/chirpy8221/status/1244…

Had to get something productive done in lockdown. How about instead of singing “Happy Birthday” (🤷‍♂️) while washing their hands people sing the chorus of this instead. Give it a retweet, spread the message, not the virus ✌️ Full credit to ya girl Sia for the original 🙏

One of my favourite interviews of last year. @nick_schultz5 is a bona fide professional and his ability to make the most out of any situation is outstanding.
A short snippet from @nick_schultz5’s amazing journey to the World Tour. The podcast is live on all podcast apps: linktr.ee/stanleystreetsocia…

More lives ruined! When will this insanity stop? The Media are to blame by hyping up this "war" between cyclist and motorists. What sort of war is it when only one side has the weapon!? ALL road users: SLOW DOWN! Be defensive. Leave early and don't rush. police.vic.gov.au/cyclist-fa…

Waking up to this yesterday hurt. Such a small stupid thing, probably all of us have done it. But that one person you feel is important enough to text while your driving? Just imagine what it's like to loose them. Put the phone away guys, nobody's life is worth the risk. xitter.gq/abcnews/status/1016165…

Waking up and reading @n_sumo23 won the Grafton to Inverell #G2I18 , one of the biggest Australian races, makes me happy. Congratulations mate. Did you win every big race in Aus at least once now? – at Ordino, Andorra

What age is the tipping point where it turns from love to hate? Everyone grew up riding their bike & loving it. What age do they transcend into abusive motorists spewing hatred against the thing they used to love?? – at Melbourne, Victoria

The Mrs has done nothing but stare through the window since it started snowing. If it gets any heavier I might have to let her in...
