  1. I love cycling Deans to Lorne and Skenes. My two near death expetiences have come from local idiotswho have used their cars as weapons because they don’t like a bike on the road. One guy hit his brakes in front of me when i was doing 60kmh downhill. It forced me to veer into the incoming lane. The other skimmed me at 80kmh. Share the roads and get a life. You don’t have to drive everywhere at 100kmh.

  2. Going back a few years now my sons mate was travelling down one of these roads near Deans Marsh, came around a blind corner to find multiple bike riders in the middle of the road. No lead or follow-up vehicle. He took evasive action which resulted in him rolling his vehicle. His action saved the lives of many, and fortunately he wasn’t hurt. And what was their thanks…they laughed. A pity the farmer in the paddock nearby who witnessed it all didn’t report it.

  3. It’s the same on Forest to Skenes Creek Road….absolute nightmare!

    Absolutely agree! These back roads between Dean Marsh & Lorne are so narrow & there is barely enough car driving safety & visibility around those corners. Land of the law has not created bicycle lanes on these roads so stick to Bike Paths only. Eg Bright Vic has it together!

  5. I have almost cleaned up a pair on that road in December, I met them on a bend and had to hit the brakes, they refused to let me overtake them, in the end I finished up with 3 cars banked up behind when we all eventually overtook them the middle fingers went up, next time I will lean on the horn until they more they are arrogant and dangerous
