No, not a contact sport. Just follow the rules of the trail and you'll be fine.

DJR Posted December 31, 2014 Share Ya i doubt he will surface... He's 57 years old and haven't managed to learn about manners, how do you expect him to know about the internet?

GoLefty!! Posted December 31, 2014 Share I know who that toppie is. He rides every morning through the lower forest on Orpin Drive and up into Tokai. He's a pretty fit OG if a little too serious. But we have to understand that riding a Bianchi is serious business. Seriaaas money went into it therefore he takes his riding seriaaaasleeee..My shepards give him the WTF look but he traps on. I hope to be cogging along like that old toppie at 57, hopefully also on a machine with a long heritage of delivering a pleasurable ride and not on one of those Johnnie come lately brands. But now this whole DH one way thing just gets ugly. I've said it once twice three times, signage signage signage. Happy to see there is significant progress in Tokai but one way trails really need to be marked very clearly at every junction as a one way. It will not stop salmon trying to swim upstream as its just their very nature to swim against the tide. However, when that day comes and the accident happens, the salmon is (if alive) probably going to sue somebody for negligence so those one way signs kinda start to make sense......or what Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/146221-to-the-57-year-old-bianchi-methanol-rider/page/8/#findComment-2509305 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capricorn Posted December 31, 2014 Share True Lefty: But he got verbal signage, and then lost his marbles. How is any non-verbal static sign going to influence his mentality? As it is, the vast majority of riders actually dont ride up. Its exactly this type of cretin that will cause an accident, cos you know, they are never wrong yadah yadah..
