I feel so sorry for the families of these unfortunate souls that get taken out on our roads. I have just heard that Graham English got knocked at the top of Llandudno yesterday afternoon at 16h00. Luckily, he survived an 80 km/h hit by a driver who crossed the yellow line. Recover well, Graham. The City, PPA, Clubs, and any other stakeholder need to get together and work through what is becoming a crisis. BTW, I noticed that they are laying spped bumps down Valley Road in Hout Bay to counteract the speed with which these idiots drive down there. I suspect this was initiated and driven by the local equestrian community and the International School. A good example of action being taken.

I've also had an unpleasant experience with them. Bought some Velotex bib shorts form them in Dec 07. they started ripping at the seams after the first ride. After numerous phone calls, they put me on to Velotex who were equally pathetic in attending to my query. I ended up laughing them both off and putting up with what I had. What a pity 'cos the guys at Bike Hut seem pretty genuine. I suspect they are a little out of their depth.
