sierrrd Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Great hoot. I wonder though if anyone expects it to come from a bicycle.
Cois Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Fudge that is hectic. Looks a little like SA driver mentality. Note to self... Got a ships horn for my bicycle and motorbike
Neverfit Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I would have been locked up a lot.....no make that daily!
gtr1 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 I cycled with a mate in Istanbul 2 years back. Was a great experience. We were on the Asian side of Istanbul. I was riding in the gutter and he was merrily in the middle of the lane. These were smallish roads. Cars came up behind and waited for the opposite lane to be clear before moving round him. We ended riding the area on the coast where Tour of Turkey ends, where Darryl had his big crash. Plenty cyclists on the weekend and they use up the entire inside lane and the cars use the other. Never once had a close incident and the drivers were extremely courteous to the cyclists.

I have no idea what its like in Gauteng, but here in Cape Town you assume that everyone is an idiot and you are just waiting for someone to do something careless and stupid.
gtr1 Posted June 30, 2016 Posted June 30, 2016 Did you notice he rode like he expected all this to happen. Didn't get upset once to swear or pull zaps at the drivers. If you ride in peak city traffic, this is what you have to expect.

This is how I ride a motorbike - assume everyone wants to run you off the road and ride accordingly. Most of the time that works out fine.
