See, that's unfair, I listened to most of your mix and by my reckoning you're only about 10 years behind time

It's like coming back home at winter. When you leave it's like 25c and when you're about to come in "the local time is the same as you left, the temperature is peaking somewhere around 1 degrees celcius"

For my height, it's perfect, it's 17" frame which is Medium. To ride it properly, you need the seat up like that is, which helps, and with the stem of about 90mm long (to the handlebars from the frame) reach is about right too.

Around here, cyclists are accorded the same civil rights by motorists that blacks where afforded in the 17th century by people offering a free boat trip to the US.
It's fairly insane levels of intolerance, I'd never own a bike

Just watching 10 News and there's a reporter with exactly the same name as me. Weird. He looks about my age too.

Well you are in a city for a start. I have plenty of un-used roads once I get out of town that I can meander around, and lots of off-road or cycle-specific tracks. Plus a few shortcuts... My helmet serves two purposes, one from dickheads who can't drive, and secondly if you try to steal someones bike and they're wearing a helmet with a peak on it, they can easily break your nose with one simple forward movement. Generally I only have to swear at about two drivers per 15 mile journey, and it makes great entertainment for anyone within earshot to hear WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING YOU STUPID CUNT bellowed out.

Electronic music was better 10-18 years ago, not being jaded or anything, but a lot of it really was for some reason and I'm still not quite sure 'why'. But with that much trance, be careful of PKC...

Your helmet serves two purposes-
A: making it easier for the ambo to pick up your head from the nearest gutter
B: keeping the brains in so they don't have to pick them up with a shovel

with you driving perhaps. There are some reallllly shit drivers these days though, I'm usually seen giving them a round of applause when they pull a thick move, which on average is about every 5th car we come up by. It's that bad. Worst offenders are women aged 18-40, women aged 41-60, men in suits who think everyone has to get out of their way because they're late for meetings because they've been banging their secretary, kids who think they're invincible, and in general everyone on the road pretty much.

Nah-uh, what you confuse is the "rules of the road" thinking that you know the "laws of the road" and have rights
The laws of the road, say you can have that little bit of the left lane.
Rules of the road, you give way to things that are bigger than you, unless you can really quickly get out of the way, because they'll squash you like a bug.

Thing is, here in the states, there's incentive to finish the job lest they come after you with every suit possible.
Colorado has one of the most elaborate bike trail systems I've ever encountered, yet fucks still insist on making me late to work every day because hey 'the roads are for everyone'.
