ccc2 Posted October 26, 2012 Share I see PPA are gathering along that stretch on Wednesday morning for a silent protest... Anybody know what time? we should be gathering outside all GA depots at 4.00am in the morning and chaining ourselves to their gates to stop their busses getting onto the roads. even if we delay them by half an hour it'll throw their timetable into a mess. that'll get everyones attention Pants Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to play the bigger person role when we are the vulnerable ones out on the road! Far safer! GoLefty!! and Brightspark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let's Ride Posted October 28, 2012 Share Another cyclist knocked down on Saturday the 27th October around 8:45am in Lakeside.  My friend saw it happen. She offered him a lift but he was "fine", another cyclist cycled with him home (around the corner). Hope he is okay. Not sure who was at fault... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridaa Posted October 29, 2012 Share Had an incident yesterday at the intersection of Sandown and Milner. Light turned green for me turning left onto Milner towards the common at about 6am. Driver came speeding down Milner Road in a bakkie from the Kromboom Road intersection heading straight through the red lights hooting and flashing me as if I was in the wrong! He was easily going at about 80kph and narrowly missed me by a whisker! He had more than enough time to slow down and stop in time instead he actually started speeding up when the light turned red! I've heard it numerous times from non-cyclists: they just couldn't give a damn about cyclists and think we are always in the wrong causing accidents and slowing them down.

cadenceblur Posted October 29, 2012 Share For me, the best approach, is just to be super cautious and take NOTHING for granted. I cycle as if vehicles don't see me, even when you have right of way, there's always somebody looking to take a gap / underestimating your speed.
