Here we go again... Sorry! http://www.thinkbike.co.za/talk/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gifPosted: Fri 16 Feb, 2007 11:37 Post subject: Cyclist 0 - Biker 5 http://www.thinkbike.co.za/talk/phpBB2/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/icon_quote.gif Hi So listen to this one. Go for a blast on the bike this morning. I am riding up Nellmapius ext in Centurion, past the Cornwall. I am behind a lady driver in a polo, there are a gaggle of cyclists riding in the road. At this point they are 2 abreast, next moment without looking a third one just whips out and tries to make it 3 abreast, the lady driver swerves out but there simply was not enough space, she clips him and down he goes. She stops almost immediately and so do I. So these cyclists basically attack this poor woman as she runs over to check that the guy is okay. 4 guys, 1 woman. I intervened and asked them just to calm down, I saw the whole thing and there is no need to get aggressive. En toe is daar k@k. I am not sure which is the sad part here really the fact that bravado only comes in multiples or the fact that said cyclists tried to write a cheque their bodies could not cash. So luckily someone called the ambulance to take the fellows off to the hospital. Now I have to go and lay an assault charge at the SAPS because I know they will!! Unfortunately I don't have a scratch on me, no one will believe I was in a fight!!! The lady driver is on my side though and will give a witness statement. I am a pacifist at heart but when you are attacked by 5 guys (yes the 'injured' one decided to get involved), there is no way to be soft about things. I have a sick feeling that somehow this will come back and be my fault although I sincerely believe I am in the right here. I also feel terrible about all this but surely they were in the wrong? I need some reassurance!
