Richbikemechani Posted April 19, 2019 Share This morning a cyclist got up got dressed kissed his family goodbye to never return. So sad. R.I.P Patchelicious, Mister B, ChrisF and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CogitoErgoSum Posted April 19, 2019 Share From what I gather from the photos are that it is just past Zwartkops raceway heading towards Laudium. That section is as straight as you can get it, and it is slightly uphill. And a nice wide shoulder-section.... How could this even happen? Condolences to everyone affected. This is just unacceptable Steven Knoetze (sk27), CatzSpace "frail" and Patchelicious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boerklong Posted April 19, 2019 Share Read it on FB. Decided to stop reading the comments after some stupid woman commented that 05:50 is a stupid time for cyclists to be on the road as it is dark and cars cant look out for cyclists that time of the morning.

Anton Earle Posted April 19, 2019 Share What a sad way to start a weekend where we all plan great rides. Would it be appropriate for us fellow cyclists to show solidarity by attending his funeral? What if a hundred of us turned up? Or a thousand? Would our voice be stronger? Important to keep in mind the great respect we would need to show his family. But I feel that possibly we could use this tragedy to reduce the chances of future ones happening.

SwissVan Posted April 19, 2019 Share RIP. This is why it is so important to ride with cameras on the bike...we have 2 people in the group who ride with cameras attached to the their bike...a taxi almost bumped me off the bike...got home downloaded the footage and bingo...the whole incident was recorded with a clear pic of the number plate.And then what happened? Tragic news for the family and friends. I’ve been in SA for 3 weeks now, driving quite a lot and tbh I’m dismayed at the obvious lawlessness on the roads while there is no shortage of police driving around in their brightly painted EPMD cars, yet they seem oblivious to the obvious lawlessness.
