cadenceblur Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Came across scene earlier at approximately 15:30. Hit and Run. Cyclist was being stabilised by residents. Ambulance arrived while we were there. Happened in the direction to Tokai trails just before centre were Trail and Tar is. Apparently a motorist gave chase but the driver got away, not sure whether his number plate was identified. There are numerous cameras on that stretch of road so hopefully footage will be available.
BenReaper Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Argh, another incident! I hope the guy isn't hurt to badly and heels up soon to ride again and I hope that the bastard in car gets whats coming to him........ ????
Patchelicious Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Oh FFS!! Do the cycling bodies think we will just keep taking this?? With SA Champs and CTCT just around the corner, one would think that CSA and PPA would be yelling off roof tops about safety....
Mamil Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 This is unbelievable. One hit and run a week so far in 2017.
Sepia Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Terrible news again. What is happening people? Hit and run seems to be the order of the day as the perps know the incident will not be followed up? Strength to the rider.
Pure Savage Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Apparently there was a cyclist hit by a bike on chappies as well today.
TheSaint Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I really dread coming online as this has been a weekly occurrence. So sad.
Ampandy Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Hope all goes well and there is nothing serious.
Prince Albert Cycles Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I really dread coming online as this has been a weekly occurrence. So sad.Exactly my thought when I saw the heading
Eddy Gordo Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 This is sickening. I was gonna do a road ride this morning, and decided not to, every week the is an incident or 2 and its keeping me off the road bike. I will rather risk a fall on the DH lines in tokai. All the best to the rider.
Maila Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 A strong message need to be sent to these perpetrators.....
MBMtbGirl Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 As a very new rider, posts like these are really scary. Hope the person is OK.
Thomo Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 FFS - in the middle of the day.Absolute disregard for cyclists.Strongs to the rider.
Pikey Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 Oh FFS!!Do the cycling bodies think we will just keep taking this??With SA Champs and CTCT just around the corner, one would think that CSA and PPA would be yelling off roof tops about safety....yea they should be,but as long as we don't stand/ boycott together. The relative authorities don't seem to hear us .
