The fellow volunteers in his van were tasked with picking up empty water sachets which had been abandoned by walkers along the route.After stopping at a red traffic light, he was allegedly assaulted by cyclists he had overtaken – with fists, a bicycle and pepper spray.

exsanguinator Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Road rage,cycle rage,surf rage...its all the same...regardless whos at fault....if you strike first,physically or verbally,the law is pretty clear,the problem arises when and if it ever goes to court,without full video evidence,and 12mths minimum down the line, it's he did vs who did vs when did.
Flowta Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Dont think they can. That would be like saying PPA & CSA can ban you for jumping a red light... breaking the law in both instances (in my opion they should be able to for both!!!) Yes, they can . It's what they choose to ban and the issue of proof It's like getting a fine for speeding but somebody not getting a fine for jumping a red light. Breaking the law in both instances. They can't ban you from riding your bike, but can ban you from the participating in their events. Kind of like a club/bar, a bouncer sees you fighting outside, he can ban you from coming in. Doesn't stop you going for a drink somewhere else, but you are not welcome there. GaryvdM 1

Smurfy Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 This particular cycling club received 96 Argus Entries paid by the PPA this year. I am pretty sure that even if that funding was withdrawn, the point would hit homePPA should look at their list of sponsored clubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tubehunter Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Oh dear. Faizel has really shot himself in the foot... Especially if you think about the facebook comment that was deleted and knowing it was him involved. Blackbeard, Sidekick Racer and GaryvdM 3
Brogue Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Oh dear. Faizel has really shot himself in the foot... Especially if you think about the facebook comment that was deleted and knowing it was him involved. Once a schmuck, always a schmuck. Hypocrites always hold themselves to a lower standard than others. I'll bet his black lycra shorts are stained legal green by now.
