DJR Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Quite why the trucks cannot go over Boyes Drive or Ou Kaapse Weg is beyond me, that main road is not built for large vehicles.Unroadworthy, overloaded, poor brakes, poor drivers, traffic police looking the other way, that's why! Main road is nice and flat.
urbanroyal Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 The way I'm feeling now....yoh ..was gonna ride that exact route this morning...hectic....RIP....????
Icycling Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 RIP Where the accident happened it their a solid white line? Most of this road has a solid white line but as I do not know exactly where the accident occurred I cannot be sure.
JJACK Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Another RIP... Tired of these threads! Lets go burn some busses!!!
Selous Scout (aka LegTrap) Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Oh no not again,when will this ever stop
Fly2High Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Condolences to the family and extended people affected by the death of a loved one. But, until each and every one of us cyclists start to do something about our abhorrent conditions this will continue. I do not say I do something but I do know I have taken actions in the past and will do so in future. I apologise in advance for raising the above paragraph in this thread but each and every one of us should be posting our condolences and then (if we have not before) go to our local cycling representative, councillor, cycling club, etc and lobby and lobby and lobby and lobby.... ad nauseum to eventually rectify the situation.
porqui Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 Blame the city/City!! We are the city. A city is made up of people. It is OUR attitude - inattention - care less ness - intolerance that's killing us. (It has nothing to do with solid white lines either) OUR does not mean cyclists but inhabitants - does not exclude cyclists.
Gazzan Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Not again - 2 this week. This is unacceptable and tragic.
Rifi Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Friend just drove past he scene and sent me a pic, the cyclist has passed on... may he RIP
cadenceblur Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I've also just tweeted them.They'll be at the Cycle Tour I'm sure - maybe some protest action is needed.Too much talk and no action.This is one of the reasons I have not renewed my PPA membership.
