Prince Albert Cycles Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 Yes that is what I mean . Cyclists Think .I have been meaning to write this post for a long time but reading elsewhere on this forum about another cyclist been killed thought now is the time to write .What I intend saying has no bearing on the above incident , the only link between that and this link is our safety on the roads .I frequently drive to work at dawn . The nr of cyclists cycling at that time on the roads with black kit amazes me . Guys will have megalights on the front and no or a feeble light at the back .Saw 3 guys cycling out of Durbanville abreast , yes in the yellow line , with the guy on the right hand side riding on the yellow line . His kit was black . The difference in seeing him and the guy next to him with a white shirt in the misty conditions is enormous .Drove up to Jonkershoek for a ride there . Those that dont know , it is a narrow and winding road . There is a cycling path next to the road . But the road is full of cyclists . No one on the cycling path . Not cool to cycle on the path I suppose everyone afraid for being mistaken for a tourist . Does that bicycle under the Touareg look cool ?Went over Vissershok this morning . In the car . Saw many cyclists weaving up there . I know it is a good hill but do you really HAVE to cycle there ?And so I can carry on .Like many hubbers I was fortunate to cycle in Europe a few times . Unfortunately the culture in this country is not conducive to cycle on the roads .Motorists dont recognise us hence the slogan Think Cyclist .But we must think as well .May we have a safe year of cycling . Do your part .
