Ozzie NL Posted October 17, 2014 Share Could never be a passenger. After the first attempt of trying to skip a robot I would of klapped the oak in front of me that didnt know if he is coming or going. Might need to stop first. Dont wanna klap him then go down in the middle of the intersection. Why hit a tree when you could have klapped the oke at the front of the tandem??

Maniax Posted October 17, 2014 Share since when does the fact that something is stupid/wrong/illegal/etc stop people from doing said stupid/wrong/illegal/etc things? People do doff stuff and generally don't change their behavior unless they learn the hard way. Problem is, in the real world of cycling, this can cost you your life.

Maniax Posted October 17, 2014 Share I'm pretty sure they were on the Tom Hanks diet or whatever that meat eating one is called. Does that spice it up for you? Or do you still need more... Tom Hanks diet - buwhahahahahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBeer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Problem is, in the real world of cycling, this can cost you your life.If you look at the way South Africans act on the road (in cars and on bikes), mere death is not a deterrent to being a chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcza Posted October 17, 2014 Share More of the same - dangerous cycling continues to cause annoyance while death by dangerous driving has been normalised. Danger Dassie and Jonkie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted October 17, 2014 Share I go through red robots all the time!! I'm not blind, I can see if a car is coming and I have more than enough power in the legs to get out of the way if one is on it's way!! It must hurt like mad . http://www.littlelostrobot.com/images/little_red_robot052206.jpg Quincy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Mulholland Posted October 17, 2014 Share Please show me an incident where a cyclist was knocked over because of doing a slow and go at a red light? Please show me an incident where someone was injured juggling chainsaws blindfolded whilst standing in a crocodile enclosure with slabs of raw meat taped to their legs? You can't? I'll just go right ahead and do it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted October 17, 2014 Share Please show me an incident where someone was injured juggling chainsaws blindfolded whilst standing in a crocodile enclosure with slabs of raw meat taped to their legs? You can't? I'll just go right ahead and do it then. It is a fair question, so try to answer without being snide. Personally I see the reality for safe cycling commuting is often a, yielding slow and go. It's not legal no, but it is an indication for the traffic laws to be looked at.Aus, UK and a number of countries have been doing studies on just this as the the understanding is that it allows for a cyclist to create a safer separation from motorised traffic at intersections and cyclists and pedestrians do have a better spatial awareness.Only at certain intersections and times though. So there is merit around the argument. www.juca.org.za have some great research material and studies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocknRolla Posted October 19, 2014 Share Funny how cyclists always say how they run the red only when safe and no cars around, yet there are often threads from witnesses of similar incidents. Like forest gump's mama used to say "stupid is as stupid does " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
