Be nice to noob bikers, on the road and here

[Shebeen]

Carona fallout has had a positive effect on urban cycling overseas. Fear of being in overcrowded public transport has seen huge demand for bikes.

 

While this does not translate directly (I'm not aware of taxi commuters getting on qhubeka bikes) to here, we've seen sport cyclists emerge as level 4 gave 2 wheels the thumbs up.

 

To the noobs, welcome.

 

To the experienced guys. Don't screw this up!

Be nice to people on the forums and on the roads.

Knowing he has to wait a whole year before sock shaming! He will be a nervous wreck!

Almost killed a cyclist yesterday. Was standing in the middle of the road going the wrong direction (against traffic) not looking where he was going.

This was in Pretoria, Shere close to Bruce’s shop. There is a slipway that I was in and looked for traffic that might be coming from the right and this pillock stood in the middle of the road joining the lane speaking to his mates in the correct lane.

Was so bloody close I filled up my ileostomy bag!

Exceptions will be made for Rouxtjie 1'000 posters.

 

So basically, sock shame them after one year or 1,000 posts, whcihcever comes first.
