This is why cyclist are hated

[Cois]

And the reason I will never go to Bruce Reyneke Cycles again

 

 

Well done you idiots. You just pissed off about 15 cars.

Keep up the good work you idiots!

[braailegend]

I've heard its our SA mentality that is wrong, we should treat them like holy cows, instead of nuisance on the road...

[rock]

what does the bike shop you mentioned have to do with this?

[evolve]

This is the reason I don't ride with cycle shops outrides on road bikes........4/5 abreast on a narrow road......and then a car to follow enforcing and encouraging this type of riding.

I don't get it, they had a safety car behind them, and bunched-up so a ypu could do a single take over of all of them. Would you rather prefer them lining up in a 20m row, and then you scream past all of them at 70km/h?

 

You also have the time to waste by #1 taking a picture, #2 logging on the the internet and ranting about it, and finally #3 spending another coupe of hours monitoring this thread with your like minded buddies?

 

But YOU DONT have the time, say +-5min to wait to pass this bunch and safety sweep car?

 

Get a life dude.

There was a recent incident where a cyclist in Pretoria got killed by a bakkie overtaking on the left, over the yellow line. If that guy had a car following him, he might still be alive today.

 

The roads are a dangerous place for cyclists, and you as a fellow cyclist should know this. Just relax, wait till it's safe and overtake.

Don,t they have the right to use the road with a car following them .The point of the car following is to give them the same room that a car would occupy .Why don,t you just chill out and rather join them .Since when do cars own the roads anyway .It can be annoying ,but so are slow traffic ,trucks ,pedestrians ,old folk,s .It is not the cyclists but drivers like you that make cycling unsafe .It is a sunday morning afterall .Give people space to live ! And no ! I am not a club member

Rather p off a couple of motorists than get knocked over.

I also just can't help my self commenting on your stupid choice of "topic" for this post...

 

"cyclist are hated"

 

 

There are too many idiots in this world thinking they have the right to "hate" things.

 

This type of mentality is usually displayed by racists, sexists, religious nut-cases, etc etc etc etc.

Seems like a rise too...

 

Yes, they are legally entitled to own the road.

 

And they're could've just single filed to COLLABORATE with other road users

[Kranswurm]

No they are NOT legally entitled to own the road

They are breaking the law.

 

There is no justification for this moral or otherwise

A cyclist is entitled to roll and for other road users to pass when safely so, by law

 

 

By rolling side-by-side they are transgressing the law for sure.

 

Then again, with the spate of deaths of cyclist being run over, sometimes victims do what they need to do to reduce the risk. There is greater safety in groups.

Understandable.

They are roadies.

They cant help it.

Its a sickness.

Rather leave them alone.

Otherwise.

They may spit at you, swear at you or throw a bottle at you.

Maybe even all three

No verge, blind corner. Even if they were single file, it would be very dangerous for a motor vehicle to over take here. If there is an oncomming car around the corner, they will have to pull in, and force the bikes of the road.

 

You know why I hate some motorists: they are so dam impatient, and think they own the road.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh toe nou man jinne
