Loupie Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Very sad sad day indeed! My deepest condolences to Cherise and his Family!!! I should think that this is one loss that we should not allow to "blow over"! Although I am a mountain biker and very rarely ride on the roads, we must do everything to ensure that our roads become a safer place for cyclists, and not just for the next month or so untill this shock of Burry's death is not as deep as yesterday and today! This morning, another 2 cyclist were knocked down in JHB, by a taxi. They were riding in a cycle lane that had a curb between it and the road...
MTBcrazy Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 RIP Burry. Even though i didn't know you in person, you had (and always will have) a huge impact on my life. It is so sad and such a cliche that all the good guys die young!!!! Condolences to the family....my thoughts are with you!
krl747 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 RIP Burry Stander - You were, and will for many years to come, be an inspiration for many young aspiring cyclists!
alexi Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Guys ,Something HAS to be done about all the cyclists that die on our roads every year. It is disgusting!!!!! We as cyclists have to unite and do something to change this in South Africa!!Burry you will be sorely missed!!!
DPG Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 RIP Burry Stander! Condolences to the family!Tragic to lose such a Great ambassador of cycling so early in life.
