Monique13 Posted January 21, 2023 Share I was wondering if the lady in the Golf was going to be responsible to replace / fix the bicycle. Edited January 21, 2023 by Monique13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeffer Posted January 25, 2023 Share Yah saw it. Quite unfortunate. Lady came up to start of TT and another car from the front with little space to pass. She bump the oke at a speed of 1km/h, he fell, she rode over his back wheel, he kicked a moerse dent in her door. Cops were there took statements. He was not a participant and his bike is very old - if that helps. splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fly Posted January 25, 2023 Share Driving over bike = accident/negligence. Kicking door act of aggression. I wouldn't want to be the oke who kicked the door when the insurers legal dept letter arrives... ChrisF and Underachiever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it tells you that the broken wheel was not some space age carbon thing you'd expect to see at a TT race, but possibly worth less than the damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly question, what is a non competing rider doing in that busy area? The bigger question is why were cars squeezing past each other through tiny gaps that don't exist, especially when its not safe to do so because a cyclist is there. (I wasn't there, so am only guessing. Do we have to wait until Friday to throw petrol on this fire ?) Underachiever and -Az- 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingTOpeddle Posted January 25, 2023 Share 5 hours ago, Underachiever said: Silly question, what is a non competing rider doing in that busy area? So I rode past the start on the day. They start and finish was on either side of the road. Thus taking up the cycling lanes and probably 1/3 of each traffic lane. This is effectively a single lane road. All this created a narrow corridor which had to accommodate two ways traffic and the high number of recreational cyclists. It was a bit nerve wrecking squeezing between traffic, bicycles and competitors in this area. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE1102 Posted January 25, 2023 Share From the sound of it it’s just another tale of a entitled Fourways boytjie\cyclist but boytjie first and most in his proverbial cradle promise land. If that was my car this chop kicked, he’d be having “billy the bums” flashbacks without the end of night boerie. devvydoesdonuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
