About two month's ago I was sitting in a restaurant along Marrickville Rd when I saw Mick walk past with a beer in his hand. There was also a homeless woman laying down on the bench outside of the restaurant. When Mick walked passed he poured beer in her ear and continued walking on. The poor woman was startled and very upset. How cruel and disrepectful. What kind of a person would do that!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182816994397072065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29410913.post-31893518919591310102009-03-05T20:15:00.000+11:002009-03-05T20:15:00.000+11:00Mick is a true classic.

"Best time mate, no cars, 'swen I get up to go for a push, clock up a dozen clean k's..." <BR/><BR/>I love this guy, cos he loves bikes.<BR/>:~johnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01007303084238474104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29410913.post-2924642759199858892008-11-09T20:18:00.000+11:002008-11-09T20:18:00.000+11:00My bottom bracket bearing is wobbly, so a friend a...My bottom bracket bearing is wobbly, so a friend at work (Nick from Camwest) lent me a lock nut spanner, King St Cyclery sold me a crank puller, but when I needed an end-bearing tool on a Sunday afternoon, when I could only vaguely describe what I wanted, never having seen one before, it was Mick Mazza to the rescue - in his own toolkit he showed me what looked like the right tool, like a socket spanner inside out. He gave it to me for $5 cause it had grease on it, I offered to give it back after I used it, but he wouldn't hear of it. I managed to dismantle the bottom bearing, have refitted it ok for now, but will be back next weekend for 2 new ball-races from Mick. This is not the first time he's helped me with bike stuff, just the latest. So folks, if it is has 2 wheels (and no engine), ask Mick Mazza, in Marrickville Rd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29410913.post-9771889829127094042008-03-02T19:22:00.000+11:002008-03-02T19:22:00.000+11:00Yeah the 423 is a horrible bus to get.

Fortunately, I have nothing to do with them, so can echo all your rantings.<br /><br />Great post. Wish there were more bike lanes here.<br /><br />Cheers, JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
