Cyclist down - Johan Labuschagne

['Dale]

All the strength, Rider!

 

The taxi system is so necessary and valuable. But so dangerous at times.

That attitude really bugs me and I don't think that SuperSport campaign a few months back helped the attitude. South Africans like to see themselves as outdoors people who can handle any kind of challenge, even if they haven't rolled off the couch for six months. We should be campaigning around the fact that if we want to be the fittest, most outdoorsish, handle-anything country in the world then we should encourage and make space for anyone furthering that pursuit, change the attitude from an 'us vs them' perspective to a collective ownership so that drivers see cyclists, runners or anyone doing something outdoors as representing their ideals in a certain way.

 

I really like the approach above,and as it is a challenge on its own, it is still a challenge worth while perusing.

Sterkte Johan, hoop ons sien jou vining terug by ons club rides!

That interview with Brad Brown:

 

That woman is a moron plain and simple. It scares me that someone like that is responsible to ensure safety on our roads, and to do followup investigations.

 

Asking motorist nicely to drive carefully won't solve anything...

We should have this protest ride in peek morning traffic on Witkoppen, William Nicol Dr and Main Rd. Enough is enough by just talking about all these incidents! Perhaps start at Nicolway Bryanston, plenty secure parking https://maps.google....h&mra=mift&z=18

Wishing you a speedy recovery from your injuries, Johan. I hope the authorities prosecute the taxi driver. They seem to get away with so much. I was nearly taken out by a taxi in the yellow lane last week whilst on a morning ride going past Tygervalley.

This is the lawless culture that the traffic authorities and the government of the day are breeding in our country, sorry to say it will take a lot more than a safe bicycling campaign to put right.

 

Get well soon Johan.

[Vetseun]

[ebenvn]

Yes but sitting on our hands will do even less.
