Spookie

This is disappointing to read, I bought a Raveman light off takealot a couple of years back and it’s been a seriously great buy! Would definitely have purchased again

I ride and drive that road all the time. At some point in the last few years they actually banned taxis from the route, between llandudno and camps bay, as there are myciti busses, and the taxis were incredibly reckless. But of course, there were protests and burning of busses and here we are back again… on my way to work the other day I watched a taxi not only overtake on blind corners, but also repeatedly UNDERTAKE cars on blind corners, in the yellow lane, 3 cars at a time. No words.

Done as best I can, thanks for the suggestion! Although they should probably be watching it first when they get home before clicking on a forum about it 😝 but we all know how enticing the hub can be…

SPOILER ALERT Winner winner! 🙌

Also, just FYI not sure if it is self evident or needs to be pointed out, but that motorbike was picked up from wherever it was on the road after the accident and placed upright against the wall as can be seen in the photo, which was clearly taken some time after the accident took place. But yeah, let’s maybe wait for the facts to reveal. There are also plenty of camera’s along that road that should maybe provide a bit of additional insight.

Yeah it’s very different to the story I got, from a driver (who is not a cyclist) who the bikes overtook on a blind corner mere seconds before at a ridiculous speed. The driver also indicated that there were tyre marks on the wrong side of the road where the motor bike had started skidding. But yeah, I was not there so I guess all conjecture at this point. Hopefully forensics will be able to confirm.

I have no words. This is astounding. Just, WOW.

Yeah so apparently this is the motorcyclist, I know it’s technically not relevant but my mates said he looked like a kid, maybe around 19 yo. Was standing with his head in his hands. No excuses, but I (hopefully) imagine he has realised the immensely terrible impact it is going to have on both their lives.

So friends of mine were driving on chappies this morning and were overtaken by the motorbikes on a blind corner a few seconds before. They noted that the guys were flying and commented how risky it was. Then came around the very next corner and found that is exactly what happened 😞 not a great sight for a family with 2 young kids (or anyone for that matter) to witness. Absolutely terrible, hoping by some miracle the cyclist is ok 🙏

Have sent to you 👌👌

@Yung Peppermint @Lay where you at 👀

Yeah a mate of mine, @David Jenkins is selling Elves here locally! I can send you his number if you would like to ask him any questions directly, he would be more than happy to assist 👌 Know there are a few happy customers he has got on road bikes recently

I’ve been trying to buy something off their website and they can’t even be bothered to respond to that 😂 I’d have thought if anything a new sale of an edge 1040 might do the trick, but apparently not!

Haha, yeah look, my point is more that there is nothing productive about shaming one group. Often it’s a people-specific problem more than a cyclist-specific problem. It just creates unnecessary conflict or allows people to justify a bias they already have.
