Maniax Posted December 1, 2013 Share After the hill just after Klapmuts, one of your riders donning the CTG club gear decided that he will take the downhill on the far RIGHT side of the road (in the yellow line) with his helmet swinging from the handlebars. It might be something you want to look into. Thats just dumb (totally illegal) but dumb, especially if you ride for a club.

Cippo Posted December 2, 2013 Share C'mon guys, are'nt you being a bit harsh. It's one guy, not the whole club. Maybe he pulled out of the race. You should have taken his race number down and reported him to marshalls. Just my opinion.

You should have taken his race number down and reported him to marshalls. Just my opinion. I suspect that you are right and it was a withdrawal possibly just looking for an area to be collected. Unfortunately, when you wear a kit and represent an organisation/club, you are that organisation/club ... a point that too many individuals tend to forget.Nobody cares who the individual is, it is the organisation/club. mavrick 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133866-cape-town-giants-please-take-note/#findComment-2148290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have taken his race number down and reported him to marshalls. Just my opinion. This was 10 km before the end, there were no pickup stations ahead (he missed on 4km back), and what the hell is he doing facing oncoming traffic helmetless? Maybe its a lack of education from the club side. I pointing it out so that they can look into it. i couldnt get his number , he was on the far side of the road....

'Dale Posted December 2, 2013 Share Are any other clubs getting this critical attention? I've seen some creditworthy nonsense from other clubs.

Red Zone Posted December 2, 2013 Share I am always amazed at the number of guys I see before and after a race who ride with their helmut hanging from their bars. Once again the triathlon guys have the right solution, instant DQ if you have you bike in your hands without a helmet secured to your dome. Also useful because triathletes don't really know how to ride a bike anyway Meezo and Lucky Luke. 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133866-cape-town-giants-please-take-note/#findComment-2148354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be something you want to look into. Thats just dumb (totally illegal) but dumb, especially if you ride for a club. Looks like guy abandoned race and gets out of way fellow riders in left shoulder. He walks on right shoulder facing oncoming traffic if memory serves me right from primary school that is the right way. He then takes a freewheel down a hill. Geez what's the big deal? Who would not do this if your bike is busted?So it never occured to you to stop to check if your fellow cyclist is ok? Instead your only thought is to get home to post on the hub to stir **** F.C and Boyracer 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/133866-cape-town-giants-please-take-note/#findComment-2148508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hale Posted December 2, 2013 Share Also useful because triathletes don't really know how to ride a bike anyway They still do 2/3 things better than most cyclists.
