Louzy Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I see PPA are gathering along that stretch on Wednesday morning for a silent protest... Anybody know what time?
V12man Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Why does someone not invite Helen Zille to ride along on that stretch of road in the am - she has a bike - see if she is brave enough to try during commute times. My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

awesme Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Important thing is to make sure the public and GA is not aware which day this is, to make it real world, G Why does someone not invite Helen Zille to ride along on that stretch of road in the am - she has a bike - see if she is brave enough to try during commute times. My condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
Schwynn Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Wish I could join. I love that stretch of road, but know that some people drive way to fast on the narrow roads of the peninsula, not to mention buses.

Guest Frail4Life Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 http://1.1.1.2/bmi/cdn.bikehub.co.za/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/thumbup1.gif glad this tragedy is not falling on deaf ears and CT and rest of SA is taking note. His death has been noticed. Does anyone know who he was as they have not mentioned a name so just wondering if he was a tourist here alone?I am only allowed to say, he commuted from Fish Hoek to Work, he is from the EC. David
gwhite Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 I see PPA are gathering along that stretch on Wednesday morning for a silent protest... Anybody know what time? Hi everyone, please diarise next Wednesday, 31 October. Come and join us in St James/Muizenberg near the site where the bus accident happened, in a silent static protest on the pavement. If you have a '1.5m' safe cycling jersey please wear it; we'll bring black armbands/ribbon. We'll bring our '1.5m' safe cycling flags and put that up as well. At this stage we are looking at doing the protest between 06h45 and 07h15. More details to follow soonest - spread the word in the meantime! Lucky Luke. 1
Kranky Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) If Metrorail allow cyclists to jump on the train to avoid this section of road, at no charge of course, do you think it would help? Of course recreational cyclists might not go for this but daily commuters may be more keen. Would have to time your commute with the trains though. Edited October 26, 2012 by Goobacks

andydude Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 A legal question - can all the evidence of GA buses ignoring the rules on this thread not be used in a criminal case to show that there is a general lack of following the road laws/rules in GA notwithstanding their "training programs"? It's definitely not isolated incidents.
GoLefty!! Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Who is going to lay the charge?The traffic police say its not their job to police the road.SAPS says it not their job to police the roadMetro Police says its not their job to police the road Maybe we should all eat beetroot and garlic to cure our raod rage and find peace and tranquility in the soft bossom of broccholi Lucky Luke. 1
