Zac.A Posted June 10, 2012 Share On a roof of a car?? Sheesh!! Ja, from what I could gather the driver was going into one of those view points, and didn't look or something, and hit the cyclist coming down, the car was on the wrong side of the road with his bike on the windscreen and him on the roof. When I rode past he was conscious, I think, but it didn't look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capeofstorms Posted June 10, 2012 Share Another thing to watch out for drivers blindly pulling into viewing areas. Past there at about 10h00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icycling Posted June 10, 2012 Share It seems to have been Gert Wilkins farther of Travys Wilkins - this is what is on his facebook page! This is what happens when motorist are negligent and forget that they are not the only ones using the roads. Today my father got taken out on chappies - thankfully he is fine and has just been discharged from hospital, but this is a lucky case and unfortunately there have been others that have not been as lucky! I Pray for softness and patience in motorists attitudes towards cyclists and vice versa! Be safe out there — with Gert Wilkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
