Riders Down x 2


splat

Recommended Posts

Saw 2 bike related crashes this morning on either side of Suikerbossie:

  • One on descent to 12 Apostles
  • One at the bottom just before Hout Bay traffic lights

(we were riding from Town towards Hout Bay)

 

Netcare was at each scene

 

It didn't seem like cars were involved

 

Hopefully no major injuries

Aparently the guy on suikerbossie had a rear wheel blowout.

 

There was a LOT of bad juju on the roads this morning. So much so that we cut our ride short after 2 close calls.

Wind was pretty gentle today

Agreed ... wind only picked up later in the morning/early aft.

 

Last weekend of DC prep with large numbers of 12 man groups increasing the likelihood of incident.

 

Hope all heal up quickly.

This side of the curtain the wind was mild ... with the odd gust ...

 

 

if that gust catches you off guard it is probably more dangerous than a stronger, but consistent wind ...

DC groups and other wannabees at the moment - actually surprised there were only 2 incidents on that road this morn.

 

If you add the motogp morons, the tour busses, the Torpedo shufflers, the ferrari outing, the marshaled harley tourist group and then a gusting wind - well lets just say its a real sh*tshow and one might think the cyclists would behave a bit better. Sadly the cycling groups were of the worst behaved.

 

Rant over, hopefully the DC will be soon too.
