    Bloemfontein - A 65-year-old man was killed when he fell off his bicycle and was struck by a bus in Oranjesig, Bloemfontein, in the Free State, on Wednesday, paramedics said.

     

    ER24 spokesperson Vanessa Jackson said paramedics found a man lying in the road with his bicycle on top of him.

     

    Apparently the man was on his way to work and was riding on the pavement when he slipped and fell onto the road. He was able to get up, but was hit by a bus which was unable to avoid him.

     

    Jackson said the cyclist suffered severe injuries and was declared dead at the scene.

     

     

    The bus driver was treated for shock and received trauma counselling.

  2. No compensation or apology offered as manager of the shop looked on when I complained bitterly the first time. As for checking my bike, I think that because I had been told that (in addition to new cluster with new chain) each of the front chain rings needed to be replaced because of slight chain suck on test rides I assumed that all was in order and done properly. R3k later. My mistake! Still, I can teach them a thing or two about joining a new chain and securing disc calipers.

     

    Funny how you don't mention the formal apology of the mechanic and him offering to pay for your race entry that you dnf.

  3. The only good thing about tearing your knee ligaments, the blue and white pills they prescribe ONLY ONCE (yes people get addicted, I can understand why).
