JScottP Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Grateful that all the injured are healing up well! Even though this just happened over the weekend, made the radio news slots etc. I just drove past gentleman on a silverback mtb, riding on the M4 between Broadway and Virginia offramp. Now this to me is just reckless, morning traffic is flowing fast at 100km/h, and there is a perfectly useable cycling lane on Fairway drive that runs parallel to this section all the way to Umhlanga, yet this guy is quite happy to ride illegally. To me there is no justifiable reason for this to happen!
porqui Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 to add something here....on ANY PUBLIC ROAD,can we as cyclists respect the fact that motorists are also using this road so RIDE IN SINGLE FILE.Just helps all concerned i think.Even in the suburbs as well. Are you riding a bicycle now?
Popit Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Glad to hear you are all (mostly ) ok .Hope they apprehend the p.o.s .

If somebody could get this message out to the joggers as well that would be great... This morning, two ladies running side by side in the road against the flow of traffic (as they should be) having a lekker chat, but an approaching steel and plastic projectile weighing in at just under 2 tons was no cause for concern for them.... I even got a "look" when I went around them!
rosste Posted November 10, 2018 Posted November 10, 2018 So glad the riders are ok....I ride this route often with my club, and regularly see the Batislan guys out, they always in single file.....did you guys have a follow car with you on Sunday?
