Guest ctMTBer Posted December 7, 2012 Share Well then overtake these road users by indicating and passing them them like you would pass another car. In the other lane!

StevieL Posted December 7, 2012 Share Well then overtake these road users by indicating and passing them them like you would pass another car. In the other lane! Why do I need to do that?If they rode like they should be riding (like as far left as possible) then I wouldn't have to.I mean big bloke centre pic is not even riding 2 abreast, but still feels the need to ride centre lane. It because of habits like this that cause animosity between cars and bicycles.

HappyMartin Posted December 7, 2012 Share Hmmm. Very serious this. I can see it is a very busy road and in peak traffic as well! Lots of oncoming traffic and no space to overtake. You must have been very frustrated.

Wessel_Jhb Posted December 7, 2012 Share i have travelled this road and the picture doesnt do the danger justice. Its a nice road where CAR users travel at high speed and CYCLE users taking up a whole lane. Single file or 2abreast not the whole ffing lane!!!

_Daemon_ Posted December 7, 2012 Share Looks like a small back road, with little to no traffic. I don't see a major problem. Just overtake them, what's the issue?People need to be more tolerable of each other... Now if there was traffic on the road, and they where keeping up traffic, then offcourse it's a whole different story.

StevieL Posted December 7, 2012 Share It actually is a fairly busy road, and cars come the other way at very high speeds.It is dangerous riding, simple as that...

You must have been very frustrated.It's this kind of attitude that annoys me too.You have cars coming up behind you. Move over or don't cry when you get knocked down. geecee and dalem44 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/124416-classic-c0cktonsil-riding/#findComment-1879171 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat-ass Posted December 7, 2012 Share If i were in a car where you took that pic, i would rather have to pass them riding as they are, then pass them riding single file. As they are, you have a quick 5 - 10 meter pass. If they were in single file, you would have to expose yourself to the other lane for at least 50+ meters....

Mojoman Posted December 7, 2012 Share Its been said a thousand times but we are our own worst enemy. Small wonder drivers of cars have little consideration for us with tjops like this scattered around across the country. koukie and StevieL 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/124416-classic-c0cktonsil-riding/#findComment-1879176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
