Attending the 12th mention in the deliberate hit-run by driver Leanne De Baize of cyclist Rob Clarke over 2 1/2 years ago.
She’s now in jail for stabbing her aunt while on bail. Let’s see if Victoria Police add driving while unlicensed and attempted murder to the charges.

Two pics of my not wearing a helmet “infringement withdrawal notice” from Victoria Police.
Success!
Not sure if I prefer the pic pegged out with two blood oranges from the market, or the pic on the fridge with my Batman card and the French and ladybug fridge magnets.
You choose.

Let’s see if justice will finally be served after the AFP in Canberra failed the public in 2017 …
(I’m keeping an open mind - unfortunately justice in Australia can depend on which justice you happen to get - not unlike in America.)

I know & respect Sofiane. We’ve interacted online but not met or raced together.
He has achieved feats I never will. But we’ve both raced for records (I hold more than three including the only Triple Crown) & we have both crossed borders illegally (true) so I can speak with some authority here.

Taking the bike by NSW train (in a box as there is no other way yet ‘til new carriages arrive in a few years!) from Casino to Sydney.
A drunk grandmother sat behind me yelling & swearing. LOL.
Then the dancing and singing started. I’m too old for this. So was she. (Audio suppressed by court order)

Dinner and breakfast in Casino, NSW.
1. Bags packed and stacked in the local Commerial Pub.
2. Pre-dinner frothy.
3. The pub caters for parties and wakes!
4. At the bakery for breakfast: “Sorry, no service given whilst on a mobile phone.”
I love it!!!

Update from the 11th adjournment of Rob Clarke’s hit-run by Leanne De Baize in April 2023.
It looks like she will suffer zero consequences (already in jail) for using a car to try to kill a cyclist.
I’m not impressed by the magistrate making ‘hypothetical’ statements with no evidence.
