Danger Dassie Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Having ridden at both NF and Groenies these last 3 weeks I've noticed 4 riders not wearing a lid. Both these venues make a point of No helmet No ride, what the hell is so hard to understand?It doesn't matter what your opinion on helmets is! Maybe it's time to enforce a R500 fine for people riding in these ares without a helmet, plus one times phat PK. It's especially annoying when at both venues, all one has to do is pull finger and fuggin ask for a loan helmet. In fact Groenies has brain buckets for rent. t**sers!
Joe Low Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 No hel-met, no ride No Wo-man, no cry Dear DangerDassie, don't shed no tears No hel-met, no ride. (a bit of reggae always calms the nerves)

Danger Dassie Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 ...... caffeine works for me, waiting for a cup to brew.
Tumbleweed Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 i've seen them stop people riding at groenies for not wearing their helmets.
SeanMort Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 We joined a bunch of guys on a road ride going out to Irene and back yesterday and there was a care-free guy in the bunch riding with no helmet, no gloves, no bar tape, on a bike with Campy Bora's and didn't look like he even needed his smaller gears as I certainly didn't see him changing too many gears ! This guy had helluva strong looking legs, but his demeanour said approach with caution, so I didn't see anybody challenge him [he looked like he could ride away from us all, and there were some strong guys in the bunch]. We stopped in Irene for a Coke and clearly he had an attitude when talking to the other cyclists. What a crazy dude ! Anybody know who this guy is ?
Mr MacPhisto Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I think you rode with me yesterday(no I'm not the guy without the Helmut)That OB..... enough said Were you in standard bank kit?

Hell of a strong, riding away from guys on Suikerbos on big chainring.
SeanMort Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Yep that was me in Std Bank kit on the Look. The guy without the helmet was wearing Barlow World kit. I'm sure he's a nice guy but something about him says here comes trouble

Danger Dassie Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 i've seen them stop people riding at groenies for not wearing their helmets. I've heard of it at NF as well, both places it's fairly easy to organise a lid.Maybe some people have a thicker skull than others.
AndreZA Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I just say let them be. It's one way to get rid of dumb people.
Mr MacPhisto Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Yep that was me in Std Bank kit on the Look. The guy without the helmet was wearing Barlow World kit. I'm sure he's a nice guy but something about him says here comes trouble Oh alright I was one of the 3 guys you joined up with - with the De Rosa Kit & yellow helmut.... small world
Mr MacPhisto Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I just say let them be. It's one way to get rid of dumb people. Ya we had another guy without a helmut on our saturday ride...and surprise surprise... he crashed I think he was alright, but dont think he will be back in a hurryIf you wanna be stupid, you better be tough

The damn thing was bugging me for a while ! The other guy riding with me is also a hubber' date=' Laulil, and when we stopped in Modderfontein for a coffee we met up with MichaelH who came across town [in his car, but still using crutches']. I'll look out for you guys next time as we ride those roads often.SeanMort2008-02-04 01:23:14
