You know what, I speed on a bicycle, not every day because to get above 60 kph is difficult. I have been doing this for as long as I have had a bicycle.  And you know what, I occasionally jump red lights at night in Hillbrow. Am I doing the image of cyclists harm? Certainly not in Hillbrow at night and certainly not breaking the speed limit because the motorist on the road are doing the same speed as me. Can I get killed doing it? Absolutely, I am well aware of the risk. Will I stop doing it? No, because it is within the limits of my perception of risk and fear. Do I pose a serious risk to other road users?  Perhaps a minor risk, but in my opinion not a serious risk to others. Do I do it because this is a lawless country and I know I will get away with it? Absolutely not, this is a worldwide activity. Why do I do it? I do it for the rush, the adrenalin, the camaraderie, and that is what I want to capture on film. Is it controversial, well clearly it is on this forum seeing the storm and backlash it has generated. Can I defend it? No.

So call me what you want, call me a ****, an asshole, an idiot, illogical, brainless, suicidal, a kamikaze rider on tik, tell me how soon I am going to die, whatever you want, it does not worry me as I am old enough not to care about other peoples opinion of me, but the real irony of these posts is that I am quite open about how I ride a bicycle, I am not ashamed of it, but the rest of you are just so pious and sanctimonious about how you ride your bicycle that you cannot even see that you, your wife, your mates whatever, do way more dangerous things on a daily basis.

I call FAKE..............the thread, the videos, the kinematic data...............maybe even the bike is a knock-off.

 

It might not even be the OP on the bike.............. :(..........just a lot of hot air........I feel like a complete PUNKHEAD on youtube.

After watching the you tube video link, I'm shocked that a resident of Boksburg's prestigious southern suburbs is capable of cycling like that...joh did u see him crossing Kingfisher / Rondebult against the red light...big balls and small brain

Not to divert any attention from the subject of this thread and not to justify my poor behavior on a bicycle, and quickly, please, before my imminent death, why do motor manufacturers produce vehicles that can very easily exceed the legal limits on the road, and why is this totally acceptable to all governments around the world that they continue to do so when it is undeniable that speed kills and that the carnage on our roads today cost governments massive amounts of money?

Your answers to this conundrum may give me some insight into my bad behavior.

What is the legal limit on the autobahn in Germany?

Cool and all, but does your keyboard have an enter button?
