Roer

I find myself saying "this is unacceptable" a lot these days, but darnit!, this is unacceptable. You would think that this is the one race we don't have to worry about motorists. Before I work myself up too much, I'll just quote David Feherty "...I am sick up to my coin purse of hearing cyclists apologise for the behaviour of a tiny minority of morons on two wheels. Sure, they give the rest of us a bad name. Get over it. This problem is caused by careless and inattentive drivers, period."

I was thinking of commenting something about riding aBreast, but your avatar just let my thoughts fly / bounce right out the window.

This is obviously not a new thing... http://www.capetimes.co.za/index.php?fSectionId=3531&fArticleId=vn20040216095141259C569245 I honestly think (and it pains me to say this because nothing beats 'flying' on the road) after reading articles like this, there is no way cyclists can come out of this argument winners. It's time to get off the roads.

Cycling up Wynberg hill this morn at 5am, a cyclist passed me (no wise cracks!) without a light wearing black. WTH?! About that 'responsible' thing...

You guys are scaring me. What's a girl to do? There is work and kids so best time I can find to ride is 4h30/5am and I was thinking I'm so not going into the mountains alone that time of the morning, so road is the only option. Spinning just doesn't cut it. Yet, that time of the morning I still find the odd bread truck going past me as close as possible (and yes, I have MANY flickering lights all over me and my bike). Never mind there are no other cars on the road. I don't know... maybe it's time to brave the dark old forest.
