Judging by that big ass yellow line I have no idea how the driver hit him....

[Christopher Brunsdon]

The driver and cyclist would have been heading towards the sun and I'm only speculating that this could have been a cause. I cycle that road a lot and even though there is a wide yellow lane (and its a double lane road), I'm still very cautious.

 

Condolences to the family.

Hoe vokken vinnig moes daai motoris nie gery het om sy kar so om die feitsryer te gevou het nie??

 

Wat `n manier om die fees seisoen in te gaan vir die man se familie. RIP

True, if it was a recreational rider keeping to the left.

If it was a commuter riding into oncoming traffic and weaving all over the place as they usually do, it doesn't suprise me.

Either way, he's still dead, and that's not good.

Heard about it on KFM news. Not cool!

 

Hope they give him the medical treatment he deserves - o/d of morphine and let the driver leave the rest of us to actually enjoy our sport, safely (and illegally) in the yellow lane.

Gave me a fright. I have a bud down there. Just called him to hear if he is alright. At least he is fine.

 

Condolences to the family involved. RIP.

I dont know what happened there, so will be careful about jumping to conclusions and assigning blame.

 

But I must agree with Garfield 2010 - the amount of damage to the car indicates excessive speed (In my non expert opinion)

Terrible news

 

Were abouts in GP is Firgrove?

[Cycho]

And looking at the pic of the car, it seems he was hit on the driver side! (Presumption would be that the left would be first damaged, but not the case here!)

I posted below on my FB site, which will go to 12000 people at least, because I am so bloody angry with this stuff, even today i was nearly taken out by an idiot taxi in the south.

 

Another cyclist killed today, condolences to his family, this is very tragic. To all motorists out there, IF

- You BBM and drive you are a possible murderer

- SMS and drive you are a possible murderer

- Speak without a hand free you are a possible murderer

- Put makeup on while driving you are a possible murderer

there is NOT one EXCUSE in this world to justify the above, if I see you expect a flying water bottle through your windscreen.
