Do you know what I find quite unbelievable about this whole saga? And thats the fact that the cradle residents are bitching about cyclist riding two abreast and how illegal this is, when, and I will bet my bike on this, they themselves are continually breaking the law by speeding in the very same area. I bet they don?t even know what the speed limit is. Riding two abreast is a petty misdemeanour and deserves a slap on the wrist, however, reckless endangerment while driving, and heaven forbid manslaughter, are serious crimes and result in jail sentences and criminal records. Now who should be doing the bitching? That?s right, the cyclist should be begging for camera traps and speed bumps to be spread all over the cradle area to prevent the criminal behaviour of the motorist who are endangering our lives. And before any cradle resident tries to bullsh*t us into believing they are adhering to the speed limit let me point out a thing or two. If your car is travelling at 40kph, which is the speed limit in some places, then nearly every single cyclist will be overtaking your car on the downhills, and in some cases on the flats as well. If you are doing 60kph which is the maximum allowed, then the majority of cyclist will be keeping up with you on the downhill?s. I ask all cyclists following this thread if they have ever seen cyclists overtaking or in fact keeping up with the cars? Not in a month of Sundays!!
