From what I can gather, cycling safety does not feature much on the hub. Very sad

We are a weird bunch indeed, must have something to do with it being an individualist sport ....

To those who answered "No", is it an question of money, or don't you see any benefits

Only one offer to contribute to your fuel expenses, wow, this is sad. The main idea here is to offer some sort of support and added safety to road riding.

Great to hear Telkom is looking after their employees

Looks like the majority thinks our roads are safe

Would you pay for a dedicated support vehicle on your morning/weekend rides? For example: several guys start from the V&A Waterfront, cycle to Chappies and back. The idea would be for a vehicle to stay behind the slowest rider. The vehicle will be fitted with: - signage displaying "Cyclists Ahead" or something similar - a bike rack should someone's bike break - a basic first aid kit - possibly a PA system to stay in contact with riders (depending on costs) Costs: would R20 per ride be too much? You would need a minimum of 5 riders to book the vehicle.

Looks like IE6 issue, works in Firefox

Crash ...

What would life be without dreams ...., it is free after all

And what if it's not?

Join a MTB Club, safest option (safety in numbers), and there will always be someone to show you around. Most clubs offer club rides on Saturday mornings at different rider levels (beginner, intermediate, elite)

This was very entertaining indeed, thanks ST

I'm sure a BIG "Thank You" is on its way. Let's keep the faith and give the younster a chance to show his worth.

If you're not going to ask, yo'ure not going to get. Good luck, and if it all works out, remember to return the favour ...

Squishy has left the building ... we will have to wait till Monday for the next episode: "This Is It: Squishy and Teddy - What happened next ..." This is better than Prison Break

Any chance of another "intro" ride after the Argus?
