Tubehunter Posted February 9, 2017 Share Speedy recovery to the cyclist. With it being South African champs you would think that the organisers would know the riders are going to race head down time trialling. Not too clever to have this on open roads....

Skubarra Posted February 9, 2017 Share Terrible accident, really gutted for Paul - he was hurt badly. Just an update, his knee was operated on last night and this morning they are operating on his back. Rider3000 and Wannabe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OemD Posted February 9, 2017 Share the road is closed for traffic...however the farms on the inside still has access to the route. So, it must have been a farming heavy vehicle.  All the best to Paul. Tubehunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varkie2 Posted February 9, 2017 Share I also drove past a high school kid on monday just opposite soneike mall where he rode into the back of a stationary car that was parked in the yellow lane. Dont know how he did it. Broke his arm and was pretty bloody in the face and mouth.Its chaos on the roads. I have scaled down my riding a bit during this time and doing more chores around the house and gym/swim. I have a 2 month old at home and it freaks me the hell out to think that it could be me.

rattlesnake Posted February 9, 2017 Share This is just unacceptable. Race organisers really need to start taking responsibility for route safety..... ESPECIALLY at national champs. I place the blame squarely on CSA's shoulders here. ChUkKy and The GT Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocknRolla Posted February 9, 2017 Share I thought this is exactly the reason for CSA sanctioning an event, Rider safety.This is competently unacceptable. CSA is a complete farce, typical of a SA "governing" body. Speedy recovery to Paul, I hope he lawyers up and takes CSA to book.   Danger Dassie, Lance Roberts, ChUkKy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
