Kranswurm Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I am appalled that you of all people should display such ignorance over what is obviously a potentially dangerous situation particularly for the cyclists Again' date=' I ask the question. If this was a topless double decker tourist bus (you know, those red ones), would you have moaned about it? or a truck? The only person I see transgressing the law is the person who took the picture WHILST DRIVING!!![/quote']
shaunh Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 IMHO these guys are practicing 'defensive riding'. This is a very narrow road and a car barely fits into its own lane which makes it particularly dangerous, not only for the cyclists, but for other road users if you attempt to overtake. We need to practice more patience.
Sean Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 absolutely...defensive riding, also known as having a "kakpraat" session

Sorry if I sounded a bit aggro there,I was trying to reply, answer the phone, the accountant was calling me and my coffee rush hadnt kicked in yet.
GreyOwl Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 If that had happened in Gauteng, Astana would be looking for another rider...
boeing Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Lets just look at it from the European cyclist's perspective for a second here. In Europe, the cars have to pass on the other side of the rode, and lets be honest, the drivers there will be more accommodating to cyclists there as they are practically seen as gods. Rene probably is used to riding in such a fashion
shaunh Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 widget, no offense taken or implied! BE SAFE!!! Shaun
