izzypzee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Someone once told me that the real reason for critical mass was to highlight road safety. In light of over 1200 road deaths this festive season and the tragic untimely death of Burry Stander, lets get every cyclist we know to ride from Dunkeld into Town. Lets close Jan Smuts Avenue, and light it up with LED lights. If you are not in JHB then organise the same protest in your nearest city..CT, Durban, Bloem. Lets make a noise on the 25th January for road and Cycle Safety. Bonus, Wez-O, ryanhabib and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooiWillie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Agreed! Light up a taxi if needs be as well, as it seems that you need to use violence to state your opinion in South Africa. Masterlink1, Jan Wyn, tunariaan and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubehunter Posted January 3, 2013 Share I'm in for Cape Town. This needs to be properly organised and preferably by the key role players in cycling in SA so that it truly is nationwide and brings out as many people as possible. garrethk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzypzee Posted January 3, 2013 Share Critical Mass is always held on the last Friday night of the month. That makes it the 25th. Start at 19h00 at the Dunkeld shopping centre, on Jan Smuts Avenue, and ride into town then back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosmonooit Posted January 3, 2013 Share I suggest we route via Louis Botha to Braamfontein, just to make a point. Everyday I am aghast at the brazen and total disregard by taxis (and a lot of other drivers) for traffic lights, and basic rules of the road not to mention any sense of courtesy to or for other road users. Even time I cross that road I see that and escape death, and that's about every day.
