  1. My club prouds itself on it's weekend club rides and advertises it all over as being safe. Safety in numbers The club further uses it to lure potential new members to the club. The ride is promoted as being safe as there is a motor vehicle behind the bunch for protection I go on an organised club ride on a Sunday morning to whereever. During the rides the bunch splits and there is no longer protection from the accompanying motor vehicle from behind for the faster group. In this process I get knocked over by a car due to no fault of my own while cycling in the front group. In the process I suffer severe injuries and spends weeks in ICU and months in the hospital. Do I have any grounds to sue the club for damages as they failed to ensure my safety? What other grounds do I have if it only later comes to light that the rides were not legal due to the absence of proper Traffic Authority approval to host an organised sports event? In the absence of traffic authority do I have a right to claim from the mororist as I was forming part of an illegal sporting event on a public road. I have also not signed any indemnity to the effect that I will not hold the club responsible should anything happen to me. Another scenario is where one of the fellow club members ride into my bike or fall on my back wheel and break it during a ride. Can I claim from the club or my fellow club member? Make you think the next time you go on a club ride. boela2007-04-23 06:46:17
  2. Seen a cracked Raleigh. Also saw excact same frame labelled as Flanders in an Indian shop. I wonder who buys from who. Is it now a Raleigh or a Flanders? Do both brands source from the same frame builders.
