scotty Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Classic Hub. Bad story (mouthy riders breaking the law) turned good (email apology) turned nasty (OP accused of racism)
Bloukrans Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 And there we go again... The OP and the riders know what happened - I was not there!! I call you out because you break the law and get accused of racism! The official apology would have provided context if that was part of the roasting. Ek dink dis 'n klomp k#$$#$k! The OP did the right thing - as cyclist we need to respect the rules - finish en klaar-.
Brickleberry Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Hi all! I had a conversation with my guys about this issue,and the guys agreed that they have jumped the robot. It's true that they are breaking the law, I agreed that if we help them to understand or educate them in a good way that will make a difference to them than swearing at them. The words Stupid Kafir was used to them. That doesn't makes changes to the people. I'm always trying my best to them to understand the dynamic of sports everyday, it will be good for all of us if we help each other to rectify our mistakes than swear to them.Well done in making them seem even less worthy of support. Amazing that a guy would come and make such a deal of this when he was the instigator and hurled racist remarks? Unlikely. Don't know how you represent exarro, but this is not on. Amazing how every white oak who complains about the behavior of a black person is a racist. Disgusted.
Broker Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 It never ceases to amaze me how cyclists always defend the illegal actions of other cyclists, regardless of the facts. Seen it on this forum and many others.... No wonder we get so much flak from the larger community. Agree 100%. And the most amazing thing is that it is always the same bunch that defend the illegal action and then slate anybody else that dare to comment on cyclist behavior. No wonder the general public "hate" cyclists
avatar Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Cannot agree with you more Hairy. Red light means "STOP" I have been cycling for 9 years and have never skipped a red light for 2 reasons, #1 I love life and my family #2 its freaking illegal.Give that man a bells! LOL, you must be going straight to heaven!
jcza Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Textbook Bikehub all gone tits up. Shut it down please.
N-I-N-J-A Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Give Francois an opportunity to respond to the allegations first...
Starvin' Marvin Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Give that man a bells! LOL, you must be going straight to heaven!I might not be going to heaven, but when I leave this mortal coil it will not be because of me skipping a red and being flattened by a car.
dre Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Give Francois an opportunity to respond to the allegations first...This, and then we must all sit back and watch as one-post-wonder-Jus and Francois sort this out... but please wait until Friday, cause Jus just came and messed up what was pretty much sorted out by Exxaro's official reply.
The expat cyclist Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 This, and then we must all sit back and watch as one-post-wonder-Jus and Francois sort this out... but please wait until Friday, cause Jus just came and messed up what was pretty much sorted out by Exxaro's official reply.So I am going to assume you don't know who Jus is...Hmmm. You can give him a little more respect, trust me.
alleyne Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 So I am going to assume you don't know who Jus is...Hmmm. You can give him a little more respect, trust me. Pretty obvious he doesn't know who Jus is, how would he? How would anyone?
dre Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 So I am going to assume you don't know who Jus is...Hmmm. You can give him a little more respect, trust me.You assume correct good sir; I know neither of the parties, but that is beside the point.
Blackbeard Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 So I am going to assume you don't know who Jus is...Hmmm. You can give him a little more respect, trust me.I suspect his identity is going to become rather important so why don't you tell us who Jus is and why you think respect is required given the manner of his engagement.
Jewbacca Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Ag nooit... Guys playing race cards, he said she said he said bla bla.... smoke and mirrors. Guys have learned diversion tactics from our government all too well. Shame on this situation. A big dark cloud of shame. #theracecardmustfall
Guest Lancesball Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 This morning I spotted a group from Exxaro. Was kind of jealous for not being able to cycle due to a torn muscle in my foot. But what happened a few seconds later left me in utter disgust of this team.Remember that LAW that says you need to stop at a RED traffic light? Well it does not apply to them. Thia happened at Persequor Technopark in Meiring Naude street at about 06h20. When I spotted this law breaking I told the guys that they are breaking the law. Now remember, these are Mountain Bikers, in FULL kit. The one front runner of the red light told me to f uck off. Well how do you do... On a training ride, in full sponsor gear and you tell a citizen abiding by the law to f uck off? And they are above one ore law... Cycling behind each other. Oh no not this team. Next to each other taking up a whole lane. And sorry to,say this, but if you are dragging the name of cycling down the drain, please go and do that where you are in the bush, and not where I need to commute. If one of the Exxaro team gets killed by a car, all blame will fall from our cycling community on the car, but just how innocent are your cycling team. Again, f uck me for obeying the law.... What is it like in your world of perfection?
