Darwin Award candidates...

a good ride home last night with some interesting observations...
  • one cyclist dressed in black with a puny rear light and no headlight that I could see riding in the on-road cycle lane (brightest thing about him was his pasty legs!)...
  • one runner on an unlit stretch of bike path near Curtin dressed completely in black (after I passed I noticed he did have a headlamp on)...
  • had to come to a halt due to kangaroos on the bike path at the back of Chifley (just a bit further up the bike path than the strava segment called Kangaroo Lane)...
  • an older guy walking his two dogs on those retractable leads - he was in the middle of the path and the dogs were either side - only saw him because he was backlit by the oncoming traffic, didn't hear/ignored my bell until I said "dude" (yes, I called him dude), "you are blocking the path!"....
