Eldron Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Bree street and the start of the work morning + a few hours whilst contractors run in and purchase materials.....but there will always be at least 1 car parked at that point during the day So I visited the website offered up on their car and sent them an email. The email bounced. Go figure
SCD Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Can confirm the Bree Street problem spot. Will also take some shots...

DJR Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 New Green cycle lane texture and finish: https://twitter.com/hairylegsmtb/status/573590757942116353?s=09Will it feel like a ribbed condom when you ride this new safe cycle lane?
dirtypot Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I used to commute in London everyday, and had some hairy moments with idiotic drivers. I'll just say this - mirrors take very little persuasion to become less attached to the vehicle than they should be...
J∆kk∆ls Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Will it feel like a ribbed condom when you ride this new safe cycle lane? Not really. But it is a bitch to brake on when wet!
Hairy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Will it feel like a ribbed condom when you ride this new safe cycle lane? No, but I am sure you will be F$%#%# if you come off on it at speed. Not really. But it is a bitch to brake on when wet!The new lanes feel rubberized and the texture with the aggregate from the road exposed adds more traction. The other green lanes that are fully painted are a little dodgy! Looks like someone is paying attention at the city of Cape Towns road planning dept to have made the decision to do the new lanes as per my pics.

But my back wheel still locks out faster when wet. But thats just riding in the rain, no getting away from that!

mikkelz Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 From @BicycleSafetySA:@CityofCT: Hi there, please report this to Law Enforcement on 0860 103 089. This annoys me no end. They have the photo, the tweet and whatever else. Why don't they report the bloody thing themselves?
J∆kk∆ls Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 OK next photo will be law enforcement doing their job when I drop the dime. I used to get moored as a laaitie for telling but enough is enough. Im gatfol of being forced into the road when it is unnecessary. That is if law enforcement is a reality!
nathrix Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 This annoys me no end. They have the photo, the tweet and whatever else. Why don't they report the bloody thing themselves? Exactly! That's why @BicycleSafetySA wanna hammer @CityofCT with photo's 24hrs a day. So post as many photo's here as possible or even better, on twitter and include @BicycleSafetySA in the tweets so they can re-tweet it to death until, hopefully, something gets done.
nathrix Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Again.... @CityofCT: @bicyclesafetysa Hi there. Please report this to Law Enforcement on 0860 103 089.
American Flyers Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 There is phone number on that bakkie, why can't we all send 1000 sms to that number? Sometimes I feel like riding over those cars....
Hairy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 There is phone number on that bakkie, why can't we all send 1000 sms to that number? Sometimes I feel like riding over those cars....and their website ..... http://www.sdcelectrical.co.za/
Hairy Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Email sent to the Manager: Dear Karyn Please would you advise your staff not to illegally park in the dedicated cycle lanes as per the pic attached and also please refer to the link of a thread where this is was noted. We are as a cycling community put at risk every time a vehicle is parked or uses the dedicated green cycling lanes. Link to where the pic originates from: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/148318-green-cycle-lanes-in-bree-street-misuse/page-4 I will also be copying this email to the thread in order for the other users of that stretch of road to be aware that you have been notified in writing thereof. Kind RegardsJerome
