  7. I commute with my Fatbike and generally find drivers very accommodating, especially the taxis. I do have to watch out for the busses as most of the drivers tend to thing they are driving a taxi and tend to side swipe you with the rear end. My biggest problem is other cyclists riding on the wrong side of the road!

  15. From Die Burger on Tuesday, 4 Dec 2013: "Fietsry in bondels sal ook onwettig wees en oortreders gaan beboet word." Following the whole blue light saga of politicians it has been decided that cyclists will no longer be allowed to ride in bundles. Does this mean two or more riders riding together one behind the other or does this mean a bunch taking up the whole road? What if you should pass another rider, will this also be "bunching"?
