Another cyclist down in the Cradle

[Bonus]

RIP :-(

 

Deepest sympathies to the family.

Respect to the guys and girls that tried their best to revive him.

[HairyLegs]

RIP.

What happened, pothole, accident or natural causes?

[Bonus]

From what they were saying at the scene, he felt unwell, stopped and sat on the verge for a while, phoned his wife to fetch him but then suffered a fatal heart attack.

 

We arrived there 20 min after the ambulance was first called and it was at least another ten mins before a paramedic bakkie arrived. By then it was too late and the folks trying to revive him had stopped. his wife and half a dozen more emergency vehicles arrived a short while later. When we rode back past there a 45mins later there were quite a few family members there with her.

 

This, and the heart attack fatality 3 weeks ago has certainly highlighted how far away from medical responce you are if you ride out there alone :-(

Condolences to the family.. Btw, for a Capie, what exactly is the craddle? Any reason for all these accidents?

[shifter]

It was not an accident...The cyclist had a heart attack...The Cradle is a very popular, quite safe area for cycling with cycling lanes...

But can we maybe learn from this, we all seriously need to know our medical status, and I don't mean ye we look healthy,

 

Year full medical check up, even when excercising regularly.

Agreed, and also, if possible....go and do a proper basic First Aid course. Even if it means becoming a first aid rep at your company. My dad had a medical emergency on Monday last, and I was able to help him, because of a basic course I did.
