Joe Low Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 I am sure there were some choice words which would have been a contributing factor as well, but it is all hearsay. It's not even hearsay, it's people making stuff up that fits their particular prejudices. Looks like the cycling authorities are dealing with it, so let's hope they get a good outcome. Quite ironic, if i'm correct, that the club has a reference to the religion of peace in its title - wonder if there'll be any comeuppance there?
ThePubSA 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.Remember that next time you double park Peach. 1
carbon29er 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 happenedOh good, please PM me your contact details so we can call you as a witness to give evidence when this matter reaches our disciplinary committee shortly. slowpoke, Hairy, Blackbeard and 2 others 5

Yes I was much closer than Simon and know what really happenedYou know what happened? Then tell it istead of posing stupid bloody questions.Oh and unfortunately for those involved the only documentary evidence and independent witnesses serve to make the cyclists look like feral idiots. That is what the general population are seeing and believing.

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 Please explain clearly what you visually experienced on that day. Maybe take a couple of minutes, maybe write in MS Word and copy and paste hereto. But you are not helping your credibility by saying you saw what happened and not explaining in clear and unambiguous terms. Edited March 4, 2014 by dre slowpoke 1
ThePubSA Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Are you the guy with the Spinnergy wheelset?Im shooting from the hip replacement but it might be the peppersprayking.. zakkie while you guys was "stuck by objects" do you "thought a lesson" on how to handle the situation better ?

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 You clearly also don't know all the facts. You say, "1 or 2 of them were struck."Maybe it missed everyone.I was hit with a flying snot ball the other day and no one was beaten up.Life is about choices and how you handle situations. Clearly no matter what happened the cyclists made the wrong choice. Edited March 4, 2014 by Ranga
ThePubSA Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Oh good, please PM me your contact details so we can call you as a witness to give evidence when this matter reaches our disciplinary committee shortly.Not entirely sure zakkie gonna have a 3rd post...

Brogue Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Oh good, please PM me your contact details so we can call you as a witness to give evidence when this matter reaches our disciplinary committee shortly. Nothing short of a fatal hit'n run would excuse such thuggish mob mentality behaviour. Send them straight to the gallows, no disciplinary necessary.

Surv0MTB Posted March 4, 2014 Author 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. What reasoning or justification did any of the cyclists have to escalate the confrontation to physical levels, which involved throwing some punches and some fool actually trying to use his bike? Hope he buckled his wheel. There is none, and those guys crossed a line and they need to be dealt with. he said she said whatever, what is pretty damn clear is the video and the actions contained.
Eddy Gordo Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 oh my...... I ran out of popcorn.... wait wait lol I have never seen so many new posters pop up like this before. I am pretty certain that they are from that group
