DIPSLICK Posted August 3, 2021 Share 10 hours ago, Pure Savage said: There was a Karen on facebook complaining about a cyclists getting in her way and swearing at her when she swerves into them. The average speed on kalk bay main road at 11am on saturday was 15km/h, so not sure where Karen wanted to get passed the cyclists. Always astonished that people are in a rush to sit in traffic or a red light. This is so true, saw a SA stand UP with Vlismiss(spelling) so funny as above along the lines of only in SA will we be swearing at the taxis(only form of transport for 90% of OUR WORK FORCE) and still moan when the domestics dare be late, only in SA are we in such a rush to get to the kakkest jobs or rush to malls to stand in long queues to pay for parking in the army we always had the saying HURRY UP AND WAIT????????♂️????????♂️????

Then at the R44 turn off there was a queue so when they got to within 100 m of the turn it was absolute carnage. I just calmly drove onto paarl and took a different route with zero traffic. Then the start was delayed becasue so many cyclist were stuck at registration and in the n1 traffic jam they created lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up parking my car on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and riding the last 6km to make the start. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people weren't so self obsessed, had a little bit of respect for each other and just treated everyone better then it wouldn't matter. Idiots. The lot of us Exactly. Eventually the planet will shrug us off and we will all be just a 15 minute bad memory in the geological record. Jewbacca and NickGM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTBeer Posted August 4, 2021 Share 18 hours ago, Pure Savage said: They should just walk or ride. My 4 year old riding 4km to school in the morning no problem. When it rains they put on rain jacket. They really enjoy it and is faster than the grid lock. yup, my son rides as well. rain or shine and he enjoys it. parents need to stop babying their kids - thats why the traffic around schools is chaos. mommy or daddy can't let their little precious walk a couple of extra meters. they have to stop right outside the gate.

The problem becomes what impact does the idiot cyclists have vs the idiot motorists. There's no comparison. I've always said, "assume everyone is an idiot, and you'll only be wrong 5% of the time" Schnavel, M L, ChUkKy and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
