Was a buddy of mine, Rich, knocked from behind by a taxi in the yellow lane.

 

Fractured L1 but will be ok, out for 6 weeks.

 

Something really needs to be done.

Such sad news. Bart Nel was a true gentleman, & the nicest guy. A Dominee and a world class track cyclist but above all a good friend and mentor.

I know where his heart was, & can confidently say he is in good company now.

My prayers are with his family.

RIP Bart

Drove past there this morning. Cops and fire department and taxi was still there. As this is also my weekend riding route I just got that sickened feeling, and then later during the morning on our cominity what's up group it was confirmed cyclest was knocked down. My his family and friends be strong.

Sad news. Strength to his family and friends. Sounds like a top bloke.

 

Wendy read the other week that the majority of taxis are actually owned by high ranking government and police officials. I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Above the law, self centered, full of ****.
