Eddy Gordo Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 This morning coming from greenpoint into riebeek street in cape town, there was a very very large group of cyclist riding in both lanes on the road. Then turning into bree street, some were riding in the bicycle lane and others just could be bothered. It lookied like all single speed bikes, and the guys were all dressed casually. No why is it that no one can ever ride a bike with consideration for the cars on the road, and then most importantly for themselves. If a car had to ride into them then what?? another title like " RECKLESS DRIVER KNOCKS DOWN 12 CYCLISTS" really now guys............
andydude Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Technically they're allowed to ride in all the lanes. But practically it's obviously stupid.
Eldron Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Technically they're allowed to ride in all the lanes. But practically it's obviously stupid. Uhhhh single file?
LazyTrailRider Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Muppets. Were they wearing suspender belts, berets and funky Clark Kent glasses as well?
Eldron Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Hang on....was this the Critical Mass? That silly idea where riders piss off drivers to prove that drivers should recognise cyclists and like them more?
Myra Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 It would have been the Critical Mass ride - last Friday of every month. Do a search, there's been a couple of threads about the Cape Town one and more recently one in Joburg.I think TitusTi is one of the main instigators. Ok, I did a search quickly - here some threads if you want more info/speak to someone involved:https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/100873-joburg-critical-mass/page__st__20https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/80949-critical-mass-this-friday/https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/73234-critical-mass-cape-town-this-friday/page__p__1052847__fromsearch__1#entry1052847https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/84686-cm-on-friday-the-first-of-october/page__p__1164645__fromsearch__1#entry1164645
LazyTrailRider Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 After I posted, I realised it might have been them. Great to raise awareness, not so cool to raise negative awareness by behaving badly. We're not going to win without being nice, cyclists of all types have to realise that before we get anywhere...
Eddy Gordo Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 I think so, couldnt have been more than 15 cyclists, rather a stupid idea as they decided to cross a red light almost got taken out by a taxi and side swiped by a turning car. Yes they are allowed to ride in the bicycle but ride in all the lanes across the road?
