Sammajoor Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Just heard from my Wife that my son was in a crash. Appenrently a couple were crossing the road with a pram or carrycot, when the cyclists came down the road. Grabbed the kid and left the carrycot/pram in the middle of the road, Wayne hit it at speed and totalled the rear Derailleur and one of his STI's. Now knowing cyclesure it is going to take a week or two to fix and the junior tour is in two weeks. Now my argument is this how f*cken stupid must you be to leave a cot in the road with 700 cyclists coming down the road. And he is doing the junior tour luckily not broken anything
gummibear Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 People sometimes dont think.Hope your son is OK.At least the kid wasnt in the pram.

quinton Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 At least your son did not have to leave the seen in the pram or stretcher. always look on the bright side
Iwan Kemp Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Same thing happened to me and a couple of other oaks coming into Hout Bay. Women actually looked upset that we wouldn't let her cross! Apparently you can be THAT stupid.
MintSauce Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 ....a couple of other oaks.... Correct spelling is 'okes' I'd love to see some oaks riding bikes
