Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Believe it or not, South Africa is bit bigger than just the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.LIES!
Patchelicious Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Either way, the fact that these stories spring (so freshly) to mind, its a sad state of affairsAgreed. Its terrible regardless of where it happens. I think the fact that there is a common denominator between the PPA and the Table Mountain Bikers club, probably gives the CPT incidents greater exposure.
stefmeister Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I heard an apt/funny thing on a podcast this morning. The guy was talking about why his friend had moved from road to mtb. He said if something goes wrong on the road, its the drivers fault. If something goes wrong on a mtb trail, its all your fault... Same reason I switched over to mtb. Yet, on the 3 km road between my place and the trails a car still managed to take me out. As for crossing intersections, I go when it's clear and safe, regardless of what the traffic light's colour is.

Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 I spotted a young dude cycling to school yesterday, he started to jump the lights and I asked him to please not jump the lights as I get rashed by people on twitter about it. He stopped and waited with me. (You just need to know how to appeal to people!)

Jewbacca Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Wait, you don't?I'm pretty anal about this sort of thing. I am certainly no saint, but I drive really slowly and am generally super cautious about everything on the road. As a driver and a cyclist. Arrive alive and trust no one are my road user mantras!
Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Did you then proceed to casually ride next to him chatting all the way to the office?Nope he turned left
Pure Savage Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 i was on my way home not schoolYes, but you waited till EVERY light at the traffic light was red

Twaatie Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 Nope he turned leftSo what you saying is you were to slow to catch up. GOT IT
428 others Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 Close to my office, is a primary school. The school is on the corner of a T-junction. It is mind boggling to see people skipping the Stop signs, where others are dropping of their children.
