The area between the yellow line and the edge of tar is a designated emergency lane. Legally we are not allowed there either. We do ride there though as it is more safe to do so.

 

Correct

Well then, thank you Zilla. So, Mr. The Driver of CL46447, you are wrong in thinking that cyclists are not allowed on the road. Safe driving,..you twat.

I grew up 500m from here. Rode to school for 12 years. What used to be quiet sleepy plot roads became major thoroughfares. The suburbs got bigger but the roads didn't. I'd be too scared to ride up Uys Street now.

 

Hope the cyclists are ok.

No shoulder but that is where they commute to work everyday , some runt in a car on the cell or picking his/her/it's nose !

I hate to read and to see when Cyclist are knocked down , On numerous occasions when I drive I see Motorist texting , talking on phones , scratching in glove boxes etc , that split second when You dont have Your eyes on the road could kill a innocent Pedestrian or Cyclist .

The question is. Are we legally allowed to cycle on a tarred road without a yellow lane? If not, then me quilty, but I do make myself as visible as possible ie. strobe lights front/back.

Eish

Hectic - hope they are okay.

 

I always try to keep visual track of motor vehicles, that's the problem here is you cant really see what's coming up behind, and whether they have seen you, or are going to give you adequate room (both unlikely).

 

Do the Blourockies still have a temple in that area?

..... a mirror will enable you to see traffic coming from the back. We have one on the Tandem.
