supertorro Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Every ride on public roads for the next few months is going to be an exercise in patience and PR, for the good of all. We just have to accept there be many angry and frustrated motorists. Who's right or wrong or morally on the high ground is irrelevant. All we can do is lead by example on the roads now. Just hold yourself back people. Channel the anger into an interval or 2 when the conditions allow it. And just thank every single motorist for any small thing they do. A little PR now could go a long way. Ofaniy, Rushdee, slowpoke and 1 other 4
fabs Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wow, according to the traffic laws, listening to music with an earpiece is illegal while cycling ???
carbon29er Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wow, according to the traffic laws, listening to music with an earpiece is illegal while cycling ???Not only illegal but extremely stupid to do too, on the road. And for the self proclaimed REAL cyclists amongst us, stupid there too, A real Brain Dead exercise. Spoke101, Ofaniy, Bat and 4 others 7
Peach. Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 In the first few seconds of the video you can see the driver lashing out at the cyclists. I'm pretty sure he did or said something to get them going, people don't react like that for fun.I don't condone the mob mentality but I do think that driver lit the fuse and deserved what he got. Unfortunately this will put cyclists in a negative light.I don't think banning the cyclist and/or club would be a fair move until the TRUTH is known. Maybe he should just take that as his fine for double parking seeing as the cops will never fine him or do anything about it.

zakkie Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Enough is enough everyone seems to have a word to say about this incident and they know nothing about it. As for Simon Scott he only have less than 1min of tape, Do he really know what happened? He claim the van was double parked this show me how little he know about what really happened.

Cellar Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Just floating this idea - so feel free to criticise.  One thing this thread has done is bring out a lot of one post wonders with absolutely atrocious grammar. ruib, Jewbacca, GaryvdM and 2 others 5
Skubarra Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014  I don't condone the mob mentality but I do think that driver lit the fuse and deserved what he got.  Help me out here, how is saying the driver deserved what he got NOT condoning the mob mentality? Cellar, Wet Ears and Wez-O 3

For "lashing out"/swearing/zapping you now deserve to be beaten with a bicycle and fists and pepper sprayed... Sure buddy.

zakkie Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Look closely and U see a couple of youngsters in the clip, 1or2 of them was stuck by objects that was thrown from the van,yes the guys in the van still had a good time about it and there was about 6 or 7 of them in the van. Question: what if one of the youngsters fell and a car hit him? What if a cyclist got hurt because of the stupidity of the van driver and his buddies what then? Yes I was much closer than Simon and know what really happened
