nonky Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 yea, the rest of the spruit is pretty open, the main issue with that treeline is where it comes close to the walking path and its pretty blind do to foliage leading up to it.....dogs especially run all over and I lets face it....you will kill a stoepkakkertjie one time if you hit it at speed. Can you imagine how ape the aunty will go if killed her yorkie.... Iz OK, just remind said old lady that it was HER responsibility to keep the much-loved little yapper on a leash...and that she is solely responsible for the AGONISING DEATH of sweet little Yorkster...Also, it helps to calm things down if you offer ZAR50 towards funeral costs for the pooch that has passed on...

V12man Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Prefer that to a tree and a broken bike And you might well land up with those..... show courtesy and respect to all - works a lot better on the trail... for everyone. GaryvdM and DirtyFrank 2

And then everyone looses... nonky and GaryvdM 2
Beast Tech Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 wahahhaha I hear you, but no doubt the uproar of the aunty will cause joberg parks to ban both dogs and bicycles. And then everyone looses... I think the only banning required is crazy aunty's! nonky 1

That might not be wise, as it's also your reponsibility not to ride you bike there: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/141537-off-leash-dogs-emmarentia/
V12man Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 That might not be wise, as it's also your reponsibility not to ride you bike there: http://www.thehubsa....ogs-emmarentia/The park is divided into different sections - so some of the areas do allow bikes, some are no bikes, and in some sections no dogs are allowed. I believe there is even a section where dogs are allowed off the leash.
clivem Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Doesn't the answer lie with Strava ? More riders and a segment on the downhill therefore it's conclusive that no one is allowed to ride the tree line uphill. Beast Tech and nonky 2
rouxtjie Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Doesn't the answer lie with Strava ? More riders and a segment on the downhill therefore it's conclusive that no one is allowed to ride the tree line uphill. Its a public park not a bike park....

Not really, we can ride through the cemetery over the road to the funeral of the Departed Dearly Beloved Brakkie. We can also perfirm one of those US military-style funeral corteges BUT with bicycles, not limo's (WHITE gloves only)...ChukKy can be master of ceremonies... Beast Tech 1
worriesnot Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 good grief.... some time ago, I can't remember who or which thread, someone asked why people have such an issue against folk who ride the spruit... the answer lies embedded in this thread I think.
Thug Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 I think it's time that someone flags every section of the Spruit on Strava as a dangerous section. eddy, Beast Tech, clivem and 1 other 4
V12man Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Doesn't the answer lie with Strava ? More riders and a segment on the downhill therefore it's conclusive that no one is allowed to ride the tree line uphill. There is a strava uphill segment on that piece.... no downhillers allowed....
clivem Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 There is a strava uphill segment on that piece.... no downhillers allowed.... No ways
V12man Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Problem Solved Not a lot of riding for a road bike in the park.....
