  1. Calling all PE Cyclists!! It is sad to hear about Kim's untimely death. Last week a fellow Hubber was almost taken out!! Before we have another death or serious injury, we need to make a difference. I have made contact with the relevant road authorities and we need to raise funds to have W309 signs erected. So this is what needs to be done. A group of cyclists need to get together and start a little committee. It does not have to be formal but a group of guys that can contact local clubs and businesses (like Probike) and cycle shops that benefit from cyclists out there. Arrange fund raising events and if you need my help talking to these shops and businesses I am only a phone call or e-mail away. This is a tedious task and takes time, but we are here to save lives! So all those who think they can make a difference, please mail me shaun@sign-up.co.za or call me on 083 232-6344. Remember, Kim might not have been your team mate and you probably did not know her, but it could have been anyone of you in PLZ. Be proactive and save lives before another cyclist gets killed or maimed! MAY THE LORD KEEP YOU ALL SAFE OUT THERE AND REMEMBER TO WEAR A SAFETY VEST AND USE YOUR RED FLASHING LIGHT DURING THE DAYTIME!! Captain Slow2009-05-25 02:59:16

  3. HR, check with Madmarc, he knows the route better than I do. All I know it is out East! Nancy, thanks for the support!
  4. Happy Birthday!! Have a great & Safe year ahead!!
  5. In February last year, Team Edenglen sponsored 10 x W309 Safety Signs!! After a long battle with both Ekurhuleni & Gauteng Roads Departrments, and some logistical hiccups on Sign-Up's side, these signs were finally erected this week. My sincere thanks to Mark Evans for his assistance and to Ozzie, Marc Carter and the rest of Team Edenglen for their patience and understanding!!! I trust these signs keep both Team Edenglen members and others that utilise this route safe & happy!!!

  16. Ya, so you the guy stealing the bikes in Gauteng and is in cahoots with the Cape Town guys!!!
  17. My point exactly. And if you do mis-judge it' date=' it's your life on the line. Some twit in 2 tons of steel though, is a different story. [/quote'] When you are alone and you don't feel safe, by all means have a good look and go thru ONLY WHEN SAFE!!!! But when you are a group of about 20 riders, then what is there excuse!!!
  18. Big deal. How about starting a thread for every time you see a car run a light or a stop street or speed in a manner that endangers others? I mean' date=' if the cyclists do it, they will only harm themselves. Who cares. Natural selection is what it is. Rather rage against those whose negligence can kill us. [/quote'] As you are no doubt aware, this is a cycling forum not a motoring one. The actions of these cyclists not only endangers their own lives, but give cyclists are bad name and does not help my cause which is to bring harmony between cyclists and motorists and ultimately, to save lives!!!
