A local office worker from our town's brood nest of the Old City District has raised a few eyebrows during his morning commute today.
Alistair Huxley (28) from the leafy paradise of Betoota Grove did so during peak hour while riding his trusty 2 wheeled steed into work.
Heeding the wise words of our Prime Minister, Huxley said he's been making an effort to avoid putting fuel in the car as much as possible.
Which means he's been enjoying revving up his aluminium pony and hitting the streets of our town on the way to his place of employment.
However, his altruistic decision to help our nation's dwindling fuel supplies hasn't been praised by all - with a few pedestrians raising issues with his behaviour.
"Mate, he's gotta pull his head in," said one anonymous foot falcon owner today.
"He's riding down a busy footpath in peak hour, dinging his little bell expecting Moses to part the Red Sea for him."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not some "ALL CYCLISTS ARE FUCKHEADS" kind of character."
"But you can't be riding on a designated pedestrian walk way at a busy time of the day and expect everyone to get out of the way."
"Go ride on the road if you are in a rush."
"And ignore all the rules and etiquettes there."
Speaking about his particular interaction, the anonymous pedestrian explained that he was steadily moving past a street side cafe and politely letting someone walking the other way move through the local Strait of Hormuz.
"And then he comes flying up the back ding ding dinging for us all to get out of the way so he can cruise through."
"Pull ya fucking head in buddy."
More to come.
