sadamhussein Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) to the douchebag on the spruit this afternoon (between bryanston drive and 12th ave) who had the nerve to shout at me to "keep to the ...er, erm.. uh. LEFT!" - get a grip you retard! if YOU are the one doing mach 1 around a blind corner, common courtesy dictates that YOU take evasive action when you come around said corner and find someone in front of you facing the opposite direction. you have no right to anything, let alone to shout instructions at other people. I know what you look like, next time i will put my arm out and clothes-line you as you come past. ps. not that i owe you an explanation, but i feel that to put things in context for the other readers on the forum - the reason i was on the right-hand track was because I moved out of the way of your buddy who was on the left, ie. MY side of the track. Edited October 10, 2012 by sadamhussein slowpoke, ChUkKy, Jigghead and 2 others 5

DR ◣◢ Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Freaking laughing my ass of here. Faarking racing snakes on spruit. Too serious all the time. Lifes too short bros. Take it easy and smell the ... It is spruit. Not much nice to smell. ChUkKy, mtbsmurf, TheV and 3 others 6
Jagermeister Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 There are many places on the Spruit where blind corners demand a bit of caution. Else your teeth are going to get stuck on the handlebar of an oncoming bike! Same thing almost happened to me a couple of times, and remember to spare a thought for the other riders / runners / dog walkers / horse riders as well.

Jagermeister Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Saddam I hear you, but also other valid comments here - Life's too short man. Let it go and chill. Don't waste your valuable time on guys like this! There will always be One arse who arrives and spoils things. Ispeed_V and DR ◣◢ 2
DR ◣◢ Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 So not worth it from either side. You want to cut the oke and he wants to feed your teeth to you one by one. Not worth it. Just smile and get on with your ride. No use in fretting about stupid **** the rest of the ride. Just spoils it man.
tombeej Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Ah I remember those days living in JHB, dying a little bit each day, waiting to leave again. Can't imagine what it must be like trying to ride there - no mountains, bike jackings around every corner, incredible aggression everywhere, and folks fighting over flat city paths that are really only meant for folks walking their dogs.

Yeah, that's why most of us up here ride real bikes. On the tar.
King_Crispy Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Hey the Spruit was really quiet today.It wasn't me, promise. I rode from Fratelli's. And then came straight home sadamhussein 1
tombeej Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah, that's why most of us up here ride real bikes. On the tar. I'm guessing you also need to have brass balls to ride in Gauteng traffic.I'm visiting the folks for xmas and not sure yet if I should take my tarmac with me. Especially after reading on this site about what goes down in vaalie land these days, I'll probably chicken out.Then again, it might be the safest place to ride that time of year - no one in josie to worry about (they'll all be down in my home town causing mayhem again).
patches Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Shew, these mtber's are an aggressive lot. No more shew wow, it's all about enjoyment and like, nature, and like the ride? We have a ton of race-ists on the spruit, out trying to beat personal bests or break Olympic records or something. It's rather amusing to me how serious they take themselves sadamhussein, DR ◣◢ and DeltaAlphaMike 3
zuludog Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 the message is that on the spruit - as it is the world over - going uphill you have right of way.
