Delgado Posted October 31, 2013 Share The only issue I see here is that your middle pic is very underexposed....and incorrect white balance! Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johannrissik Posted October 31, 2013 Share Gentlemen, If Darwin's Army needs another soldier, who are we to interfere? If (or when) he gets his call-up papers, that's his business. dee_biker, RossW and BikeMarketcoza 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethebike234 Posted October 31, 2013 Share a meter or 2 behind a truck belching exhaust fumes ..yuck cannot be good for you. I honestly don't know how the roadies manage to ride in all those fumes ..don't people use car exhaust to kill themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackster Posted October 31, 2013 Share Ja, he's mad. But who among us hasn't once-in-a-while found ourselves doing something crazy/stupid/dumb/mad. Hope he had a great time. Hope he's clever enough to realise that the risks make this a once-off jol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD23 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Its a freeway, its illegal to ride a peddle bicycle on it.So all those who see no problem with it , shut the f@ck when you want to complain about Taxi driver's showing no regard for the road rules..ok ?The very problem with this country everyone thinks the rules don't apply to him!And if he crashed , the resultant traffic jam he would cause whilst they scraped him of road would be enough to ensure I drove over him anyway for being inconsiderate to all the other road users..

Hennie VR Posted October 31, 2013 Share If roadies drive to slow people complain. Now they keep up to traffic and people complain. Make up your minds ffs. As far as I remember cyclists are regarded as a vehicle on the road and now this guy embraces his right and gets shamed for it. and don't come with following distance because that's the normal following distance in Gauteng to make sure you don't allow for other cars to push in front of you. I'm gonna do this in my hub kit, want to see how many free pictures I can get of me on my bike Lexx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough consideration on the road or anywhere for that matter for our fellow human friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough consideration on the road or anywhere for that matter for our fellow human friends. Come drive in Joburg. If I allow one car to push in front of me at the off-ramp and they do the same to a fellow road user and the trend continues then it will take me an extra 2 hours to get to work. I plan my trip and I know to get into the correct lane way before I get to the off-ramp but you unfortunately get people that cant/refuse to wait an extra 10min and demand to drive past the queue and push in front. Nope, I'm generally very considerate and tolerate a lot but some people beg to have a Hilux imprint on their car's arse. Ps. All was written tong in cheek.

TALUS Posted October 31, 2013 Share If it is illegal to cycle on that road - that is an issue. No lights and not visible - def an issue! Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daideron Posted October 31, 2013 Share He looks very familiar, like a former pro, recently banned? Looks just like him...Most roadies have jumped slip before, but this is pretty brazen! And not very clever as its a busy road by the looks of it. Clearly some people could care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker911 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Only problem I see is that it seems to be a highway. He should have picked a truck that does about 80 or so. Not just 64 km/h Yes I agree totally WTF 64 km/h what a woes Daideron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daideron Posted October 31, 2013 Share Haha! 64kph is not slow given that it looks uphill? Is this in the Cape?Once saw two guys on track bikes behind a truck on the JHB/Vereeniging highway. One guy didnt even have a helmet on! The mind boggles! With regards to my previous post, should I be wrong in thinking it is who I have implied, then my upfront apologies to you mr unnamed rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichops Posted October 31, 2013 Share Only those who have never done a bit of motor pacing behind a truck may comment on this - the rest of us know the feeling ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted October 31, 2013 Share Motor pacing behind a truck rocks!!!!!!!! Been doing it since I was a kid. Apparently it's dangerous. My mom warned me about it 40 years ago but I never could resist it. If that is a freeway that is not cool. Have to agree with that. No excuses.
