Tabula Rasa Posted October 4, 2021 Share RIP to the cyclist, it was the most brutal way to go. I lose a bit of myself when I read these stories, When even the paramedics are shocked at the nature of the scene. y friends and family keep asking me why I don't cycle anymore. The roads are just not safe enough, I pushed my luck a few years ago training for the 947 and got away with some hairy situations. God this is just horrible. I hope the friend is okay and can live with it. mazambaan and Mountain Goat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebeen Posted October 4, 2021 Share one more horrific story to add to the pile. when is enough going to be enough? Burry's incident changed nothing from what I can see. 7 hours ago, Headshot said: Condolences to the riders family and friends, this sounded horrific. A rider was airlifted to hospital in Cape Town on Saturday after being hit on Kommetjie road near Ocean View. Not a good weekend for cyclists... report I saw doesn't mention this. Quote At 8:56AM this morning, Cape Medical Response received a call for a cyclist that had collapsed while cycling on Kommetjie Road at the intersection of Slangkop Road close to the Ocean View SAPS Station. CMR dispatched a paramedic and an ambulance. On arrival on scnene, CMR medics found a 54-year old local male that had collapsed while cycling. Witnesses and bystanders including a doctor had begun CPR on the patient. Paramedics took over CPR with advanced life support efforts along with the continuing aid of the doctor. The team was able to reestablish a pulse on the patient. Duane_Bosch, DieselnDust, Headshot and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttocs Posted April 25, 2023 Share So today justice was served, the driver was sentenced to an 8 year jail term, two of which are suspended. i know this doesn’t bring back Alex, but I hope it starts the healing process for some. RIP Coach, you will always remain in the hearts of the PCC crew. Meezo, Sidekick Racer, Frosty and 14 others 10 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2fly Posted April 25, 2023 Share RIP and condolences to loved ones. Guys I know this can happen out in the sticks but my humble opinion is to not ride in the suburbs - mate of mine lost a close friend about 6 weeks ago in Allen's Nek area also. In the country areas there's less traffic density. In urban areas I suggest rather ride a MTB on the pavement or a trainer. mecheng89, Pikey and betaboy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betaboy Posted April 26, 2023 Share Nice to see Justice served, a great example when the system works, but unfortunately it won’t improve the overall picture of road carnage on SA roads. We need much harsher sentences to drive home the message. Best wishes to family in these trying times. 🙏🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
