scotty, traffic all over is an issue, but this ride, especially Comaro has room for cyclists. The other one is a narrow road but not busy after Peugeot (+- 350m).
Yep, have done this hill a few times it is really a tough one. The one that goes up to Bassonia from the circle at Builders w/house past Renault & Peugeot is also a toughy!
A huge thank you to Ozzie and the Edenglen Cycling Club for donating R5000 to Sign-Up for cycle safe signs. These signs will be erected on the East Rand.
Wolfie, are you looking at buying a new White helmet to go with your new White seat & bar tape? If so, Bell is the way to go. Super Comfortable and has excellent ventilation. Phone Faried at Westdene for a good price.
Very,very sad! My condolences to Family & Friends. This just highlites that we are not invinceable. I urge all you guys to please be careful and to make yourself as visible as possible. Wear a safety vest and flashing head & tail lights even during daytime!!! Rather be an alive 'un-cool' looking cyclist than a cool looking dead one!!! Think of your family & friends!!! Be Safe!!!
IMHO these guys are practicing 'defensive riding'. This is a very narrow road and a car barely fits into its own lane which makes it particularly dangerous, not only for the cyclists, but for other road users if you attempt to overtake. We need to practice more patience.
Again, I ask the question. If this was a topless double decker tourist bus (you know, those red ones), would you have moaned about it? or a truck? The only person I see transgressing the law is the person who took the picture WHILST DRIVING!!!
