Bigshow Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 6.45 am looks like a guy lying on the intersection on atlas taking you into Denel. Wonder what happened?
ER24 Road Rangers Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 EMS on the Scene, taken away by Ambulance. There were other cyclists standing around, a white bakkie arrived to take the bicycles and other cyclists away. Don't know what happened, anyone got more info?
scotty Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That should be the safest road on East rand. The section to the yellow line is almost as wide as a standard lane.
ER24 Road Rangers Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Agree, but I suspect that something happened in the intersection when the cyclist turned around to go back...
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 That should be the safest road on East rand. The section to the yellow line is almost as wide as a standard lane. I got taken out in the yellow lane heading north near Denel five years ago.
Wayne Potgieter Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I got taken out in the yellow lane heading north near Denel five years ago. How?
Tumbleweed Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 How? Taxi pulled in in front of me, and stopped suddenly. I turned the Emergency Exit into and Emergency Entrance.
ER24 Road Rangers Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Was before the road was widened into a dubbel lane both directions probably.
Kritzie Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Also drove past, looks like he is not too badly injured, but then you never know!
Sammajoor Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I got taken out in the yellow lane heading north near Denel five years ago. I understand the seriousness of the thread, but with your history, I am wondering how you managed to take yourself out this time. Thinking of the cyclist. May he/she recover fully from his/her injuries. Please stay safe out there.
Wayne Potgieter Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Taxi pulled in in front of me, and stopped suddenly. I turned the Emergency Exit into and Emergency Entrance. I thought so. Most of the problems on that road with cyclists are taxi related. Due to the large yellow lane, cyclists love it, but so do the taxi's with all those companies there. I have also heard of bad accidents when cyclists make the turn at the top of the road.

I rather take the MTB behind the estate on the right, cut across the road, then follow the dirt track around the top of the airport.
