PPA appoints legal representation to assist with hit-and-run charge

best spending of PPA money ever! Well done PPA peeps!!!

at last they are thinking with their heads - this will be money well spent albeit 2 years late. the PPA should drop their awareness 'stay wider of the rider' campaign because thats all it is - awareness. its not going to stop cyclists being run over by drunken/irresponsible/texting motorists as can be seen by the number of deaths since the campaign started. they must rather put this money to better use by employing an advocate straight away after death of a cyclist to assist the state in prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law THEN MAYBE THE MESSAGE WILL START GETTING INTO THE HEADS OF MOTORISTS THAT WE ARE NOT FAIR GAME.

Ping iCycling - this is where I expect my PPA membership money to go, instead of puffing the egos of some amateur weekend warrior race snakes in the form of prize money.

I have stated that probably half the fund received from the cycle tour should be going to road safety - I regard this as part of road safety.

 

What is very surpassing to me is that PPA feels the need now to do a press release every time they spend money on what we the members want them to spend money on - doing the job they their for.

 

They did the same about a month ago when they put R10 000.00 for a National track cycling event in Cape Town. They did the press release had banner / feather flag at the event and wanted so much marketing for R10 000.00.

 

Since the AGM it seems like PPA may have woken up a little bit and now are spending money on cycling. But now they feel the need to advertise every time they do what they have been entrusted by the members to do.

 

P.S. For that track cycling event I made a sizable donation from my own pocket without doing press release, banner father flags etc - it was just a donation. Could I try to derive direct benefit from it - well yes I am a wholesaler in the cycle industry, probably YES. But seeing cycling been successful is far more important.
