Peach.

See, there was actually a cat that ran across the road, pity there is no video footage. If it was company car I would do A + a hand gesture and then report.

Did they indicate or just cut me off? If they indicated, no stress. If no indicator and they didn't say sorry after the first hoot then, D: Hoot repeatedly and show them a hand gesture. If the hand gesture is returned to me then try overtake them and cut them off and slam on brakes, therefore if they hit the back of me it is all their fault.

He makes it sound as if they just jumped him for no reason and without saying anything.

Cyclists are people, people do stupid things, Its just a pity this bunch of people happened to be cyclists at the time. A lot of other people would have done similar if not worse. A similar thing happened in JHB South a couple of years ago, not sure what happened with those guys, but they didn't get caught on video so it wasn't as entertaining for the world to watch and spread around.

So there was a traffic light and he did overtake the cyclist earlier on. Meaning the double parked story is complete nonsense and the person who took the video has only seen half the story, waiting to hear what happened when he overtook! Also were words exchanged before he was 'assaulted'?

hence the ....... at the end.

But do you do the same stupid stuff and to that person?

No, the biker got off and pointed a gun at the driver first and struck him over the head, the driver then shot him in self defense....... I am not trolling, I am simply voicing my opinion. Don't judge until all the facts are known. many of you might have reacted in a similar way if you were in the same situation.

No, that's called destructive. Violence is to another living organism. I think Amanda's point (which she didn't really get across) was that cyclists are already frustrated and this frustration is mostly caused by taxi's. This little incident seems to have pushed this bunch over the edge. Seeing as you all think I support their actions. I do not condone mob mentality and violence in that regard, but, I do think that in some situations a hiding is needed, If we had a justice system that worked my view would change as these offenders would be dealt with.

Someone who actually tries to do something about the situation and not just jumps on the bandwagon and wants to hang the guys. no one knows what really happened. Yes it got violent but compared to other violence it really wasn't that bad, (No i do not condone it) I am sure ALL of you have got really angry at motorist or anyone for that matter. When you are in a mob and things start to happen its all too easy to join in. Lets just wait to hear the story from more sides, not just the victim and a motorist who by the sounds of things was already negative towards cyclists. Is every motor biker seen as a vigilante after that other guy got shot?

Elaborate?

Life for the ANC is just getting better and better, they all about mob justice!

I never said I would give them a PK, I said that is when it is needed. ? I know where to draw the line.

Thanks for correcting my spelling So as a hero you are accepting defeat and will allow this behavior to continue? If they had killed the guy then that would be a bit much, but a punch up and some pepper spray is harsh but might have been what was needed to teach a lesson. As I said earlier, no one really knows or will ever know what really happened. The video caught them at a bad time.

I think they should, and then put nkandla and etolls underneath. Show what our government is really concerned about.

so only 2 people have actually thought about this and replied. what happened to all you hot shots who have the answers to everything, what would you do?

I haven't had to dish out any and I never said I would! I settle things in a civilized manner as far as possible. Catch me if you can They can take that cost of replacing their side mirror as a fine for being a tjop.

Yes that is true. I'm acid with most people in general but especially when they are "trying" to drive. People need to start looking out for each other and treating each other with respect. The rules of the road need to be followed by ALL, no one knows what indicators are anymore and everyone seems to think that 2 cars are allowed to cross a red light. Everyone is constantly fighting for positions in traffic even if it saves them 0.5 sec. I mean really, its not that hard to abide by a few rules, it would also help if we had a police force that functioned correctly. For all the guys that think I'm being harsh or condoning this beating. Play this scenario out (i am not implying this is what happened) You are having a nice chilled ride with some friends, a car drives past and a bunch of guys start pelting you with stuff out the windows and then just speeds off. You surprisingly bump into this car further down the road and stop to have a few words with the driver. The driver tells you to F-off and go wear your spandex at the gym. Know knowing that reporting this to the police they will simply laugh at you and tell you to get lost, what would all you "Heroes" do? I would probably break a side mirror if they really ticked me off.

You figured it out yet? did my explanation above help?

Agreed. People are too highly strung and know the Pigs arn't going to do anything about it so they do whatever they want. No one cares about the next person, there is no sense of community in SA.

Admin, why was my post deleted?

Yes Because he still deserved a PK if he instigated, which I think he did. I have had confrontations with several motorists (just exchanging words) and they just don't seem to care, this is when a good old PK is needed. Why is the driver trying to punch them at the start of the vid???? Yes Maybe ALL road users will start obeying the rules of the road. No, it just came from the heart. I don't double park

In the first few seconds of the video you can see the driver lashing out at the cyclists. I'm pretty sure he did or said something to get them going, people don't react like that for fun. I don't condone the mob mentality but I do think that driver lit the fuse and deserved what he got. Unfortunately this will put cyclists in a negative light. I don't think banning the cyclist and/or club would be a fair move until the TRUTH is known. Maybe he should just take that as his fine for double parking seeing as the cops will never fine him or do anything about it.

Capra is goat in Italian. Farkin sexy bike but I think 170mm is a bit much for an Enduro bike.

Yes, the new building by McD's, I found an article that says its a public area but its still their property at the end of the day.
