Shebeen Posted June 24 Share 42 minutes ago, Zebra said: I THINK someone has placed an ALL-WHITE 'memorial' bicycle near to where he passed away? I did not see it, but Wife asked why an all white sprayed bike would be in Sea Point, chained to the pole, and I said I think it was 'in memoriam'? Anyone seen it, to confirm?

Can anyone confirm? jebus….don't want to sound too insensitive given recent events….but perhaps everybody should give everyone a wide berth while this bad juju wares off… f@k ouens… Inconsiderate drivers: look in your mirrors before opening a door. Absent minded cyclists: expect every door to open without warning. 🤷🏻♂️ DJR, Me rida my bicycle, ChrisF and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V18 Posted June 27 Share Maybe carrying would reduce dooring incidents. Perhaps strapping a lance to the front of the bike. ChrisF and MORNE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is not much love for lance on this forum, but strapping him to the front of the bike is a bit extreme isnt it ?

V18 Posted June 27 Share I'm pretty sure a quick zip of a minigun could clear a door. Modern problems require American solutions. Meezo, MORNE and Jako De Wet 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
