Titleist Posted January 17, 2019 Share I drove from Villiersdorp to Franschhoek via the pass yesterday and came across a female cycling team/friends going towards Franschhoek in DOUBLE file, right of the yellow line, up the pass. And a mens team towards Villiersdorp also DOUBLE file, right of the yellow line, up the pass. Now I know it's convenient to cycle chatting with your friends in double file especially on a day like yesterday i.e hot, no wind, views to die for etc. BUT The pass is NOT made for cars and cyclists and trucks especially when cyclists are riding double file doing 20km/h or less. There is an on-purpose (not accident) waiting to happen. If you cycle double file you are putting yourself in danger on purpose! Come ladies and gents, we all put in hours worth of training, it's not worth losing your skin and maybe your life cycling up blind corners right of the yellow line.

Titleist Posted January 17, 2019 Share Be sure to post this again when there is another thread about a cyclist knocked down somewhere. I'll give you a written guarantee that there will be one some time. It's just a matter of time before someone is knocked down on the pass or off the pass for that matter.

Wannabe Posted January 17, 2019 Share Mr Titleist, as a fellow cyclist, concerned that their behavior might lead to injuries or death, did you stop to inform them that you find their actions to be dangerous?Or did you just blast past them as as soon as the opprtunity arised, and as fast as you could? If you did not take the time to inform them, why not? You were there on the scene, whilst this "crime" was being committed.To come here and moan, after the fact, will not change their behavior, as they are wholly unaware of your rant here. martinh, Grubscrew, Skubarra and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you Wannabe the one to break the news to them. Especially since you can find space on the pass to park and have a chat to them. They will read this, I'm positive.

If you told them at the time you would be saving lives. Now it just looks like you are a moaning Edited January 17, 2019 by Quagga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will read this, I'm positive. Is there not a number of Lookout Points on the pass, both sides?Surely if it caused so much angst in you, you could have stopped at one of the lookout points, and corrected them in the error of their ways.I mean really, if it bothered you that much, do something about it, there and then.
