Then added this bit..

No one killed by "drones" in South Africa but hundreds on bicycles killed. Yes - let's regulate drones!

possibly, but then you put more context to it - here is big stan this morning on his wife/partners original post (ok that's enough stalking for me for today)

 

Stan Bezuidenhout Brett. Everything you say is true. Those things happen. And I can answer: every cyclist hurt and killed, in cases we investigated, happened on public roads. Places where (sometimes irresponsible, often incapable) people operate vehicles of between one and one hundred tons at speeds of between 40 and 120 or even 200 Km/h. Then, in spite of this, cyclist ride abreast in bunches (illegal) on national roads (illegal), with no reflectors (illegal) and even at night without lights (illegal). Then they display aggression, road rage and belligerence as well. They assault people and hold up traffic on roads almost too narrow for cars and have the audacity to enjoy it and even brag about it. So, considering who is most or more likely to die in a cyclist-vehicle interaction, I'd say they are, by design, the bigger problem. Here is a good example of why we "hate" cyclists...

Don't worry, the dyslectic FBI agents will come and take them out soon!

WOW I have no words.

I hope that I never end in a crash that they investigate as I would be presumed guilty until proven innocent.

Takes some balls saying you hate cyclists on social media  

[fanievb]

Your healthy lifestyle entitles you to nothing. Get a thicker skin and point out where her argument is wrong rather than trying to denigrate her appearance.

 

who said anything about entitlement?

 

if you want to pick a fight for the sake of fighting, pick another topic. 

 

Cyclists are being killed on the roads (yes there are some who do things that are illegal, and I will take them on as well) and you seem to support the view that only motorised vehicles are entitled to use the road.

So answer this, you are on a cycling forum so I assume you cycle, since you agree with her you clearly don't use any public roads, are you then limited to the spinning class at your local gym?

I KNOW I WILL NEED TO RUN FOR COVER for this one,,,,,,,,,say they were not calling us pests, they "should" statistically know what WE as cyclists know, WE RIDE LIKE PLANKS there are more than enough threads and cycle clubs slated to confirm this(many ride like planks)we have all been on club rides please dont start the NOT ME,,,,YOU KNOW SOMEONE,, IF ITS NOT YOU, since they do this for a living I ASSume they have more  figures and facts than we do, we only hear of the high profile accidents and when a hubber falls( very small % of the stats I can only ASSume they have access to)

 

IM NOT SAYING THEY CAN SAY WE PESTS, THEY HATE US AND AND ,,,,,IM SAYING THEY MUST HAVE SOME SCARY STATS

[porqui]

Sent her a Fb message

 

I have gone to the company web page and sent him a message on the company "contact" page
