I notice that many of us (other riders too) are still riding to Frankies by crossing the continuous white line in Victoria Street. We need to observe road rules regarding riding (also driving) over continuous white lines. So could you please set a good example to others by riding around the roundabout to Frankies via Palmerston Street. Your operation will be noticed and appreciated.

The other is not to park you bike in the landscaped garden. There was an incident last Sunday when a  member of the public was verbally not happy we as cyclists are not respecting the purpose of the landscaping especially adjacent to Frankies. your corporation is requested.
