Please dont asume that drivers know where you are...I hate this... 2 guys woke up... Just like me this morning, wanting to cycle... We really need to change the mindset of people who drive drunk... If you are gonna drink... Call a taxi... Simple! I was going to ride there today...
Seeker911 Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) So Mon-Fri my cycling is restricted to an IDT. Sat and Sun 5am I hit cradle and do a few loops. So what we are saying now is that you are not even safe out at the cradle I cannot frikken believe it. I thought the worst that would happen is the white tiger would jump the fence or a local farmer brown would get upset for some odd reason. Now we gotta watch for drunk drivers in the yellow lane many years ago I was cruising up krugersdorp hill in the yellow lane on a friday afternoon with another cyclist I did not know. some arsehole hit the dude behind me and killed him. the driver claimed the cyclist swerved in the middle of the road which was total bull***t.

rattlesnake Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I hope the driver gets charged with manslaughter and does time. And I sincerely hope that he gets to share a cell with bubba. So tired of having to live our lives with such selfish idiots. Society will be better off without this idiot. slowpoke 1
'Dale Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Anyone know the injured cyclists?:-( Edited December 9, 2012 by ' Dale
Vetseun Posted December 9, 2012 Posted December 9, 2012 I had a close call with a dronkie a while back. He lost control while looking for his lighter. Just missed us.. I am so finished with road cycling. I hope the riders make a full recovery. I hope the drunk driver rots in jail . doreen and slowpoke 2

So tired of having to live our lives with such selfish idiots. Society will be better off without this idiot. If he was over the limit and the cyclist/s die he could possibly be charged with murder. doreen and slowpoke 2
