Mojoman Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 This was posted on the Eblock watch groupThe driver of this truck just stopped on hennie Alberts str just before the zenex garage and assaulted another man on a bicycle. He stopped his car blocking the... guy on the bicycle got out screaming and punched the guy in the face ! UTTERLY DISGRACEFUL I WOULD LIKE TO NAME AND SHAME YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS AS MY CHILDREN HAD TO WITNESS YOUR BEHAVIOUR AS A GROWN MAN YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!And here is the bonehead comment :Andre Ehlers A bit one sided is it not? In my experience cyclists are assholes so I would bet the cyclist provoked the driver of the bakkie. Still no excuse for the behaviour but only shallow people would act on incomplete info. And that is exactly.what is wrong with the world. Knee jerk reactions without all the info at hand. If the above is the case can we also "name and shame" the cyclist? His family should know how big a dick he is if he acted like .... well, a cyclist.
SPARTA-cus Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Non-cyclist's way of thinking towards us are a scary thing. It shouldn't be about survival out there. We don't want to own the roads, we want to share!
Meerkat82 Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 People will always try and justify their actions.... Very sad that cyclists are always portrayed as the wrong-doers
DJR Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Andre Ehlers, you are BONEHEAD of the week! Edit: Sorry, I forgot to ask whether you drive a little wimp trokkie! Size matters you know. Would you take on the driver of an 18 wheeler? Or just pick on defenseless and vulnerable cyclists?
'Dale Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 He must be fat, frustrated and unhappy Hehehe
worriesnot Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 He's got a gun as his "facebook" cover photo... I have lots of friends and family with guns but jinne, advertising it like that (?) this probably could have been a lot worse if this dipsh*t got his 9mm out.Be careful out there people!! I know it's not always easy but just be the bigger person - you don't know the guy/gal confronting you from a bar of soap, you don't know what they are capable of, their frame of mind OR what they may be "packing"Just "smile and wave" (as many a post/thread this week suggest you do)
Eldron Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I love guys like Andre - he accuses people of acting on incomplete info then makes up his own story...a bit like thehub :-)
Patchelicious Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 So does anybody have the name of the business who's bakkie thing that was? As for this Andre, judging from his FB profile, he seems to have issues.

Some guys have no value for life and will happily just pull out a gun or a kinfe. Really not worth it for a shouting match or trying to prove a point.
neillp Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 Not to forget he also rides a quad. Says a lot more of his character. Or lack there of.
shawnvan Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 JEESH, And its not even Friday.... So we have people attacking the charcater of "bonehead" Andre because of hes has a picture of a gun and a quad on his FB... I'm not defending anyone here, but his comments do have a ring of truth to them.... maybe that's the real reason for the ensuing character assasination by the cyclists on the hub Could the cyclist not possibly have been in the wrong too? And to his credit, Andre does say that there was "still no excuse for the behaviour", and there is obvioulsy more to the story than we know.

SAGecko Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 So tired of this. So much agro. Far too much ego on all sides. After the Dungeon Lady / Little Timmy Truluck episode earlier this week, I made a point of being extra nice to everybody using the Spruit yesterday. And to a man (and woman), people smiled and waved as I rode past. Utopian? Yes, but it's better than being either the smacker or the smackee in some unnecessary altercation. Not saying this scenario would have, or could have, played out in this instance, but wouldn't it have been nice if it did. Nicer than a punched face, anyway.
