And yet he comes and gets shown around by one of our Ministers in the middle of a crackdown against cyclists by our excellent police force.
Oh, and one of the places they were cracking down against cyclists is a place that that same Minister has a record of him breaking the "law" while showing that foreign dignitary around.
Fox got blocked after that :)
I've ridden with Mark Bailey before and he rides FAST. His PR for the Goodwill Bridge is 44km/h with 33 km/h average, and consistently well above 20km/h average for most of his rides. I don't think you can wave all that away as a GPS glitch.
Ah, I was wondering why the discourse seemed to stop after 8 comments on that activity. Still, while I side more with Fox here than I do with Mark, I do think by hiding behind a pseudonym, Fox was not doing himself any favours. It's hard to blame Mark for blocking him given that.
He's also blocked on MB's Facebook where he uses his real name. And TBF he is a bit of a troll. Although the bar for being banned by the minister is fairly low. Any kind of negative sentiment on his posts is usually hidden or outright blocked pretty quickly.
