Sammajoor Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Just read in the Beeld about riders being targeted by motorists in the Cradle of Humankind AGAIN. When will it stop?? We all have a right to use the road, but apparently some @ssholes believe that as a motorist they are gods and we mere mortals. Sounds like a douche in a Humvee too. https://www.netwerk24.com/Nuus/Algemeen/fietsryer-met-opset-raak-gery-20180605
Wannabe Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Howzit Sammajoor, long time no hear. It's a blast from the past. Jip, I'm so glad I do not ride in the Cradle, sounds like a fight for survival there. I'll rather face the tour Busses, irate Mommy's and aspiring motorcycle racers on Chapmans peak.
Ispeed_V Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 As shocking as it is, unfortunately sometime you cant blame the motorists as there are still a lot of cyclists who believe that the cycle lanes are not for them. That said, one can never condone blatant acts from motorists. Guess we all put our lives on the line every time we saddle up.

andreas17777 Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 When I used to ride there, the farmers in their bakkies would always pass you as close as possible.

As shocking as it may seem there is NEVER a reason for a motorist to take the law into his own hands.

Uni Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 I can't read the article because auto translate doesn't work on a jpeg hahaa I also tried but I managed to dust off what little afrikaans I learnt at school.Gist of the story - arsehole swerving around, crossing into the yellow line - knocked the guy and drove off. His mirror was taken off - so hopefully maybe that can be used to trace the driver. The guy was riding with his kid too - that must have been super scary. careful out there you guys.
shaper Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Cyclist Hit and Run in the Cradle on Sunday. Please help us find a Silver Hummer H3 that hit Mark Pretorius on Sunday morning and sped off. The vehicle will have no Left Hand Side mirror as it was driven off when hitting Mark. His right elbow is fractured. Please share as we need to find this savage!!!

Pieterlab1 Posted June 5, 2018 Posted June 5, 2018 Shocking comments on Netwerk24! It's almost as if they think cyclists deserve to be killed by motorists!
