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? Tx, Chris it's called a Ghost bike https://grist.org/living/the-story-of-ghost-bikes-how-a-bike-memorial-in-st-louis-sparked-a-global-movement/ We have them here too, this is probably the most famous one of all. https://www.google.com/maps/@-30.7971605,30.415888,3a,30y,356.45h,79.93t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1swj1CtmqsSM6pnOm0xtEMBQ!2e0!5s20230801T000000!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205409&entry=ttu Zebra and ChrisF 2

Call It superstition Good on you, every single time I ride down to Chappies I get so many close calls that for the next few weeks I just stay on my local roads/gravel roads between tableview/melkbos/durbanville/Malmesbury..

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. 🤷🏻♂️ TheoG, ChrisF, Me rida my bicycle and 2 others 3 2
V18 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Maybe carrying would reduce dooring incidents. Perhaps strapping a lance to the front of the bike. MORNE and ChrisF 2

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 ? JayLow, Vetplant, Me rida my bicycle and 11 others 14

V18 Posted June 27 Posted June 27 I'm pretty sure a quick zip of a minigun could clear a door. Modern problems require American solutions. MORNE , Meezo and Jako De Wet 3
