EmptyB Posted November 26, 2016 Share RIP... This is a road I also ride a lot. Twice this week and also asked myself, why do I keep using this road. That's it for me I reckon, unfortunately it is a disaster waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonus Posted November 26, 2016 Share The silly thing is that, apart from the dip before Cradlestone, for the most part it should be a really good road for bikes. It's flat, wide and open and has a yellow lane most of the way along it. Andrew Steer and Hacc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geomark Posted November 26, 2016 Share Terrible news. I ride it regularly on my way out to the cradle and have had a few close shaves, both times with young guys driving sports cars aggressively undertaking traffic in the yellow shoulder. Touch wood the taxis have only done odd things in front and you expect them, but between this and a guy getting taken out from behind by a taxi round the corner on Christian de Wet where I also ride frequently makes you pretty bleak for road riding.

It's flat, wide and open and has a yellow lane most of the way along it.Agreed but being flat wide and open invites some scary driving too. I've seen some seriously stupid sh*t along there lately. Near Ruimsig and that Pick n Pay...terrible driving to say the least! Bonus, Gen and RocknRolla 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted November 26, 2016 Share Condolences, so sad and sudden. This makes me worry a lot about allowing my son to cycle on the open roads. He competes in XCO, and this time of the year he works on his base training, meaning lots of long rides, and unfortunately that will always involve lots of road cycling, unless someone can tell me how to get 100km rides in on a MTB from here. If only we had a better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbon29er Posted November 26, 2016 Share Condolences to the family who have lost a loved one. I feel so sad every time I read of another unnecessary death of a cyclist on our roads. All so avoidable by motorists just keeping their eyes open and paying attention when driving.

Jracer57 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Too much lawlessness, too little enforcement. Rules of the road need to protect cyclists more. In USA (in some states) you face stiff fines upwards of $3500 if you hit a cyclist.
