Mntboy Posted November 28, 2016 Share I registered on this forum just to say thank you for the thoughts, prayers and condolences from this cycling community. The Cyclist is my brother, Bryne Forgey. He was tragically killed when an oncoming car lost control after swerving and crossed over the road killing him instantly. He lived in Strubens Valley, so Hendrik Potgieter was one of the roads he frequented on his bike. He died while doing something he really loved. I will miss him terribly, we were very close. He was 51 years of age His wife and two teenage children are broken.My sincerest condolences to you, your brother's family and the rest of your family! Never met your brother personally but his online presence always gave the impression of a man who loved life! He will be missed!

TALUS Posted November 28, 2016 Share It can hardly become more real or closer than this. I will be thinking of him this weekend when I am cycling quietly through the Bushveld and remind myself that it could have ended for me just as suddenly. My thoughts are with his family.

Shebeen Posted November 28, 2016 Share To all of you... thank you for your kindness. I (and the family) really appreciate your very kind considerations. He started cycling in the mid 80's because I was quite into it. I used to ride with Gary Beneke and Andy McLean back then. I haven't been on a bike competitively since 1990 (If I remember correctly) I was better on the track because I'm fat and road riding doesn't favour the fat. Bryne also stopped for some time but then got back into it probably around 10 or 15 years ago. He had a disturbingly high pain threshold and could ride harder than his fitness level as a result. Although he enjoyed the road riding, he enjoyed MTB more. He often went to northern farms to ride, and over the past 2 years his son would join him on many of his rides. I'm grateful that yesterday was not one of those times. Here's a pic of Bryne (BDF) that I found on this forum. His description for the photo was:" the absolute sufferfest that was the Ashburton Rooiberg race here"s a couple of other posts with pics of him. I'm finding it quite cathartic reading some of his posts, enjoying his dry sense of humour (which we share) and seeing the pics of him enjoying his riding. https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/93073-where-has-your-bike-taken-you-today/?view=findpost&p=2949340 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/93073-where-has-your-bike-taken-you-today/?view=findpost&p=2944437 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/93073-where-has-your-bike-taken-you-today/?view=findpost&p=2932023 https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/156476-retro-road-ride-saturday-january-23-alberton/?view=findpost&p=2791023Not nice to read this, didn't know BDF...but the tributes here are a testament to someone who will be missed.When it's a cyclist, by RIP I mean RIP that heavenly singletrack.
