StevieL Posted January 20, 2012 Share Any details of the rider ID?I have a mate that commutes that route every morning, and cant get hold of him. Getting a bit worried... OK, false alarm, just spoke to him. No less shocking to know that some poor person went down hard.Condolences to all relatives and friends...

Honkdonk Posted January 20, 2012 Share Took me an hour and a half to get down from Maple rd and past the scene. There was an attempt at covering the body with a space blanket, but I could see that it was a black guy. A few cars still around, but no sign of the bike he was on. Not the best way to start of a Friday morning Edited January 20, 2012 by DaveT Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/112046-cyclist-down-main-and-witkoppen/page/3/#findComment-1568005 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Ears Posted January 20, 2012 Share I was at the petrol station across the road filling up and to me it looked like a pedestrian that got knocked over - no sign of a bicycle. Cyclist or not, it's not a pleasant sight and very bleak.

Jagermeister Posted January 20, 2012 Share RIP my man, RIP.Guys please be careful out there - wear bright clothing, buy some bright lights (Front and Rear).What I have found is that at dawn (about 5:30 - 6am) is when the motorists have trouble distinguishing cyclists, simply due to the medium ambient light levels.The answer here is to switch your Front light to Flashing mode - this makes you visible at the time.Put your lights on all the time, not just when it's dark.Cheers and ride safe people...
