We cycle mostly on Karwyderskraal Road - it's quiet except for the large rubbish trucks (the drivers of which seem considerate). We wanted to do some flats so we cycled on the R43 on Monday and the whole ride I had the heebie-jeebies. Sorry to hear about these two guys and their ruined Argus (probably) outing. Hope the law throws the book at the driver. So angry.

Wrong. Cars may have the power, speed, weight and capacity to mow down cyclists but actually they are at the end of the chain. First come pedestrians, then horses (and riders), then bicycles. Cars and other motorised vehicles come last. (Maybe we should go back to the days of having a person walking ahead of cars with red flags to ensure that they don't hurt the first users of roads and tracks. Most civilised countries, and civilised peoples, respect the weaker users of the road (who also happen to be largely taxpayers). Car users without respect? Well, they don't deserve respect.

Yep. I'm a girl, I'm broad-minded (I think) but ****that user name is offensive.

Spinning during the week has improved my mountainbiking fun at the weekends ... and I've lost some kgs as a bonus (that and improved cadence has helped my ascents). Highly recommended - especially if you have a busy weekday schedule.

Horrific. And callous beyond words. My thoughts are with the cyclists' families.
