jmaccelari Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 John Edwards from Cycle Lab. According to Ali he's in Krugersdorp hospital undergoing a scan. She says he's ok, but a little confused.
MooToo Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 A legend on a bike, wish I could cycle like him at his age. Get well John.
Bassman Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 It happened on the Swartkops/lanseria road. He was lying next to the road, when we came past, bike looked like a pile of junk. Hope het recovers fast.
slowpoke Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Seeing a bicycle in such bad shape is gut wrenching for us Road Rangers... My blood ran cold as I led the lead A's past. Hope he heals up fast and 100%
Tiny K Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Hectic! Heal up soon John Slightly off topic: did they at least get the taxi drivers details? (for possible criminal case). Just hope that the person didn't just drive off and leave him there!

Just hope that the person didn't just drive off and leave him there!We went past a bit later (think it was the same incident) and the taxi was still there with cops etc.
