Lance Roberts Posted May 13, 2015 Share Not too far from me. The roads are so dangerous at the moment because of all the road works. People somehow forget how to drive when the roads are a mess! Be careful out there guys and gals, it's a madhouse! Hope you feel better soon Mr. "Unkown" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted May 13, 2015 Share Training or commuter? I would say commuter. Anybody that is riding through Pinetown on a weekday is definitely not doing it for fun or exercise. Truth be told, I stopped riding around Pinetown and the highway area in general shortly after Burry died. Not worth the risk TBH. Sold the road bike and bought beer.

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted May 13, 2015 Share the wheel will turn...these guys that speed away not just break the law but you can be left for dead without medical assistance. How can any human being not consider this risk. If this cyclist was badly injured and left for dead then the driver becomes a murderer. What has our world come to? We have it here as well - the chances of a car stopping is minimal, ride with a friend/s people for your own safety and a chance to record number plates.
