2 cyclists down at the same time this morning, one in Cape Town & the other in JHB. To the guy that passed away in JHB R.I.P.

 

This is getting out of hand now.

My one needs a new rear wheel at least... Anyone got one lying around? Happy to collect...

[Pure Savage]

So sad to hear! RIP to the rider. 

 

The driver is going to have his life change that he has now murdered someone. 

 

Was probably stupid like on the phone...

Somber Friday. Sad to hear. RIP.

its been out of hand for years i tell you, years!

 

this is rubbish though- which of us are the next losing victims to reckless or irresponsible driving?

 

RIP Mr Rider, if he left a family behind... my condolences

The traffic reports up here are reporting on a cyclist down too

Gees cannot be another incident on the same road on the same day, just saw a posting on FB of an "earlier" incident of a motorcyclist on Northumberland Avenue, Randburg that passed away, RIP.

There are videos on YouTube that show people drifting out of lane whilst playing on social media. Nowadays a driver actually talking on the phone is the least of your worries.

True story! I'm on a motorbike 5 days a week & see this in peak hour traffic all the time, if I see you drifting I honk my horn.

Indeed, I see it every day. For example, in slow moving traffic on Forest Drive in Pinelands at 4:30pm I would say MINIMUM 7 out of 10 people are on their phones

This statistic is accurate. Commute on motorcycle as well and it's scary to see the amount of people on their phones, they're also the ones who drift in their lane and hold up traffic when it comes to a standstill. They're completely unaware of their surroundings. A twist of the throttle is sometimes needed to wake them up.

RIp fellow cyclist.

My deepest condolences to the family. I always get chills down my spine when I read these kind of post.
