Swart Kat Posted January 3, 2013 Share Sh*t, this news gives me a proper knop in the keel!!! Ek support enige iets wat daar gedoen gaan word en ek sal in elk geval met n armband di Attakwas gaan ry asook di Epic! katotter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granfondo Posted January 3, 2013 Share Guys, I was out riding in and around Cape Town the last few days... I'm shocked at how close many of the cars / taxis / trucks / busses etc. got to me! The 1.5m campaign? It sure isn't working yet! I ride VERY responsibly, and hug the curb or yellow line. No one slows down to wait until there's a safe chance to pass, they just squeeze me out! And forget about them even slowing down or stopping at yield signs or stop streets!! Until the cops take a zero-tolerance approach, nothing will change. But most (none) of them seem to even be in the slightest bit interested in protecting us out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted January 3, 2013 Share From now on I will ride with a black armband everytime I go out on a ride! We really need a massive protest ride. We should get PPA involved. Wayne68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikkelz Posted January 3, 2013 Share I think I should sell my road bike. It's just not worth the risk anymore. FLX1 and tunariaan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaBee Posted January 4, 2013 Share I won't wear a black armband - my bike will. My Stumpie will get a black band and I'll get a SA flag on there in memory. Regarding the 1.5m thingy - sorry to sound negative, but what's the use to make it law if they don't even enforce roadworthy vehicles. And that at least is police-able. How are they going to proof a car did not pass you at 1.5m?! Then, that's not the only danger, since the idiot that caused my crash last month simply did not know whether he was coming or going - and he was on the opposite side of the road!

I've only heard of it through cycling channels - never seen or heard a word about it as a driver. Got to admit I am starting to rethink road cycling a little now - not sure I will be truly comfortable on the road at any point so debatable if that's worth it.
