SomeBloke Posted November 18, 2013 Share Went out for a ride around Joburg early Sunday and came across hoards of roadies (and quite a few mountain bikers as well) riding anywhere up to six abreast. Idiots were cycling on the highways (N3 and M2) and in the suburbs half of them were riding in the oncoming lanes.If there had been cars it would have been impossible for them to pass whilst keeping a 1.5m gap. And yes, I took this photo from the passenger seat. http://i.imgur.com/djtdgDW.jpg RossW, CBS, Bonus and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabs Posted November 18, 2013 Share and some of them were able to post speeds 72km/hr in a 60km/hr zone right in front of JMPD officials, without feeling any shame SomeBloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hennie VR Posted November 18, 2013 Share I think the JMPD was pathetic. This was going on the whole day and they could not do anything about it. They were probably bribed with Chocolate Chocolate and therefore there was no chocolate for the kids next to the road. slowpoke and fabs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They honestly just stood there and smiled while these cyclists waved at them. slowpoke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolipoli Posted November 18, 2013 Share Hey Somebloke, You need to come clean on something... Were you one of the wives mentioned in the other thread that ran to stake your place at the front of your start batch? Also did you do the done thing (as the passenger on the Tandem) and swear at all these cyclists to get out your way?

Bateleur1 Posted November 18, 2013 Share You should have seen them on the highway. The N14 ... I am telling you. My uncle has a aunt staying in JHB who said they had cyclists on the M1. Crazy I'm telling you. Edited November 18, 2013 by Bateleur1 Patchelicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie VR Posted November 18, 2013 Share I was so thankful of the EFF to come and support the event. Will this influence my vote next year..................I think not. There was even a DA gazebo. But the lady was busy with her crochet and did not cheer my sorry attempt to climb like a pro .....................Now really confused who to vote for Edited November 18, 2013 by Hennie VR ValeYellow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
