chaos_za Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Pedestrian on the cyclepath walking with the wind wearing headphones looking down at their mobile phone. You approaching with a beautiful following 35km/h South-Easter pedalling your heart out in the toppest of top gears. Massive shout "Watchit!!" Pedestrian turns around leaps two feet in the air; you stop just in time, rear wheel fifteen inches off the ground. Thanking whoever for hydraulic disc brakes you zoom back up to top speed, heart racing, not caring that your legs will be finished too soon. Riding with that wind is phantasmagorical. A magnificent journey home..... A couple of Mondays ago if I remember correctly: Fantastico! This has happened to me too many times! Another one for the CPT > TV Crew is pedestrians walking side by side on the bridge near sunset beach - nothing more frustrating than having to creep along because they dont see or hear you!
SimpleDom Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 There is always that 1 spot that you KNOW isn't safe to ride.....
ScottCM Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 There is always that 1 spot that you KNOW isn't safe to ride.....+1 But you ride it anyway
I FLY Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Be friendly to your neighbours. They have horns and are faster than my SS bike Spotted 100m from my house on my commute home yesterday. I live in a golf/nature reserve estate.

chaos_za Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Mmmm good idea, i started wearing full finger gloves so i cant whistle with my fingers anymore haha, will have to get a real whistle then!
Matchstix Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 This morning I learned that I was doing it wrong(driving this morning.)As demonstrated by a fellow cyclist flashing lights being safe and visible with reflective pants and helmet etc. That the cycle lane that is marked out is to cycle next to it but not in it.

Hot_Fuzz1 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Had an amazing ride in this morning! Decided to leave the car at work yesterday and ride home! Got a beautiful sunset over midrand! Was nice and toastie the entire ride, prob cos I rode the 30km in 1h10mins! haha OOps!
SimpleDom Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Leaving the car at work has been fundamental to my commute. So many benefits! Pants Boy 1
Robrider Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Any reason for 3? I think it was a joke because of Hairy's triple post.
chaos_za Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I learnt after commuting home last night in the pissing rain, that fenders are mandatory - not optional!
Hairy Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 I think it was a joke because of Hairy's triple post.Sometime you have to blow the whistle 3 times for the pedestrians with personal alienating listening devices (earphones) to hear you
