Cyclist knocked down on OKW

[Meezo]

Got a message from somebody now, anyone hear about this, happened this morning?

[Tubehunter]

That would be crazy considering we were are a silent protest for cycling safety just this morning at the site of last wednesday's fatal accident!

Oh so the silent protest went ahead? Where were the additional details promised by PPA?

Heard it was Yesterday when it happened, it was in the Argus last night.... If I'm not mistaken, the guy is ok, hurt his collarbone.... The driver however, just drove on, didn't stop or own up for knocking the guy.....

Thanks for clearing it up. My bud said he's boss had told him a cyclist was knocked.

 

Anyway all the best for the cyclist.

Just F'n sad and upsetting that we need to be giving sympathies to cyclist... i.e we shouldn't be knocked down this often or at all for that matter

It was in their email newsletter and on their facebook page GL.

It's time you roadies start mounting RPG's to your frames.

[GoLefty!!]

RPG's, Shot guns, limpets, anything to get a Slaapstdt driver to F***ing wake up.

One of these days we're going to have to ride with Mountain Men escorting us around the peninsula in packs.

 

Apparently the City is rolling out it non motorised transport plan as fast as it can within budget but nothing on the deployment of traffic police in mobile units to roam the streets looking for transgressors.

You know its simple. Arrest one BOX for driving like a C**T and gooi him/her in jail for 24hrs... Make it public, the rest will start towing the line.

 

Notice how everyone slows down and suddenly discovers they have indicators when there a traffic police vehicle around......? welll Hello Mrs Mayor maybe that's telling you what you need to do.
