udxcob Posted July 5, 2013 Share Agree with Slowbee here... for the link to a development team to be credible you (or the source article) should really name and shame. Many development riders I've met and come across on the trail are riding old model bikes (and doing very well on them!) and are considerate and very courteous. Ryan, i doubt they would steal the bikes and ride them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This part says it all "Upon arrival, they found the team members and coach busy loading the bicycles onto a trailer. A search of the trailer led to the recovery of all three bikes."

Ryanpmb Posted July 5, 2013 Share Ryan, i doubt they would steal the bikes and ride themThat's not what I'm saying. The point is, with reference to one vague article, guys are slating development teams in general. Not really a fair reaction.

Slowbee Posted July 5, 2013 Share This part says it all "Upon arrival, they found the team members and coach busy loading the bicycles onto a trailer.

Ryanpmb Posted July 5, 2013 Share This part says it all "Upon arrival, they found the team members and coach busy loading the bicycles onto a trailer.

Mr Mulebar Posted July 5, 2013 Share Must be a Knysna thing, during the last Stage of the Knysna 200 last year my partner and I came across some kids from the local sports school that benefits from the race dragging a felled tree across the track. When they spotted us they clambered up the embankment and started pelting us with stones when we were forced to dismount to climb over the tree. Crazy!

It is only trespassing if it says so... Exactly... so who is the team? are they a development team? Isolate it and target the culprits. Don't label all development teams. If one cyclist rides like a tjop we all get the blame....same case here....anyway I am not going to debate this. I know which development team I have seen at the event so...

Shebeen Posted July 5, 2013 Share couldn't find link on their site. lots of other current articles up there..edit. it's posted earlier. is this the actual trailer??looks more like a police pound than a racing teamhttp://www.georgeherald.com/img/acltn20130704-070355-102_u0.jpg Edited July 5, 2013 by Shebeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know which development team I have seen at the event so... So... name them. Then everyone knows who we're talking about. In one sentence you've highlighted an issue of casting general blame yet in the same sentence you refuse to stop this scenario taking place in this instance...? muviman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
