Risk Warning Ø Do not cycle over the metal girders on the ramp at the Berowra Waters ferry, if you opt to cycle off the ferry, 'cause you will come down hard, like many before you. Ø Hardcopy these directions and bring on Sunday Ø Expend 5 min studying your street directory for this route, if you haven't ridden it before Ø Don't ride two abreast on single lane roads with an unbroken centre line and descend corners on wet roads as though you are skating on ice Ø When passing a fellow Mugg, always provide at least a metre clearance. If you can't, or are passing on the inside, you MUST call out loudly eg. "passing inside" etc Some forms of cycling are dangerous. An ave of 36 Australian cyclists have been killed annually since 2000. 95% of these fatalities occur on the road. Other cyclists in Australia break bones and incur nerve impairment from falling off their bikes in accidents.
A cyclist could fall from his/her bike, inter alia,
due to -
(iii) cycling too fast on a wet downhill where the
coefficient of friction is much less, particularly at corners; or
A negligent cyclist could - (a) be litigated by a seriously injured cyclist, or 3rd party (i.e.. a woman pushing a pram on a footpath or a car driver) under common law where the damages could exceed $500,000; and (b) lose his/her home if he/she did not have public liability insurance which covers their negligence whilst on a push bike. A negligent cyclist who did not have personal injury insurance (i.e. self-employed without income protection cover) could struggle to meet regular outgo commitments.
A seriously injured cyclist could be awarded damages
which a negligent cyclist could not afford to pay if the negligent
cyclist -
Ø
Cycling
without Public Liability cover is as silly as driving without 3rd Party -
Ø Click on: Risk Management which warns of 'inter alia', the dangers of cycling on public roads with motor cars, potholes and over bridges with vertical timber planks with gaps Ø Cycling with Muggs is predicated upon notifying Bank Teller if you materially disagree with any clause(s) in Muggaccinos' "Ride Participants Liability Acknowledgment" |

Last Sunday, 24 May '26 - Berowra station carpark to Saddles, Mt White 'n back - 50km - 3 riders Three stalwarts in the primary kiosk at Saddles, north Mt White last Sunday, 24 May '26. We experienced a brief, light rain shower shortly into our return leg. BankTeller cycled 3km less by starting at Cowan station and finishing back at Berowra station.More pics of visiting Saddles last Nov are below. Further below are pics of a Nosh Stop at The Estuary Waterfront Seafood Cafe - just this side of Hawkesbury River bridge.

The entrance to the kiosk at Saddles, Mt White
Elfi sent me two other jpgs, but my old Adobe Photoshop Elements software that I obtained as a Freebee from Peter Tyson many years ago has had a problem when I try to crop those two other pics. - puzzling
Arno aka Heineken, Elfi aka former QANTAS Air HostieAir and Pete aka CampyAficinado south of Pie in the Sky on Friday, 7 Nov '25. - pic taken by ToothFairy.Sunday, 5th Oct '25 - Hornsby via Beaumont Rd 'out 'n back' to The Estuary Waterfront Seafood Cafe and back to Hornsby - 51km - 5 cyclists on a beaut, balmy Sunday morning.
Eric was rudely chatting/squarking on his 'el cheapo' Made in China cell phone - seemingly bereft of other intelligence- when this pic was 'snapped' at The Cowan General Store after scaling back from Brooklyn Rd,
Nth St Ives, Duffys Forest, Flying Fox Cafe, West Mona Vale. Return up McCarrs Creek Rd to Nth St Ives. - 57km - 5 cyclists
David aka Once An IronMan was the only rider to incl Akuna Bay and Illawong Bay on the return leg. Alan's wife Sharon brought along some friends to Flying Fox Cafe. Comforting, 'cause I didn't know that she had any friends.
Three of us called in at the Tempo Cafe at the top of McCarrs Creek Rd, 'cause we's was 'all tuckered out'
