Ai, I drove past there as well on Saturday morning. I was on the other side of the road so didn't know it was fellow cyclist. Shocked!!!! RIP, so sad.

The cyclist name was Shown Breytenbach. Was one of our club's members (TCS).

 

The driver in the bakkie apparently passed vehicles in the yellow lane and that is when he hit Shown.

RIP Shown

 

Oh sad, man

Ride In Peace, man

Very sad - very good rider too, so unnecessary.

Raced with him a couple of times.

Neck on neck at sabie this year.

Hopeful that justice will be served.

 

RIP :(

RIP Shown, so sad!

Even worse because it is a club member!

Was this on Solomon Mahlangu going towards Lynnwood or from Lynnwood?

Terrible news. We went over Hans Strydmag just after 10. Saw the police vehicles and police tape but couldn't see what happened. Shocked to read this.

 

Condolences to all. Rip.

I did not know Shown but I feel that this could have been myself and that his family could have been mine as I Cycle Solomon Mahlango regularly. I know almost every Cyclist in Pretoria has to use that road at some time.

 

It must be so hard to deal with such a tragedy for everyone that known him... Sterkte

From what I heard, he was going towards Lynnwood. Happened on the downhill just before the turnoff to Wapadrand. No excuse to overtake there. None.
