BuffsVintageBikes Posted March 28, 2023 Share Being a Capetonian road biker and not knowing who David Garret is says more about you than it does about David 😄 He's a legend of the Cape road bike scene and has been around for many years competing at the sharp end of the field in his age cat. All the best with your recovery David, trusting you'll heal up well and be back on the bike soon 🤙 Thornman, Sidekick Racer, Niel1 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I almost avoid training rides through Camps Bay and especially Clifton anymore. It’s just to random there during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zebra Posted March 29, 2023 Share Yes, he is my tenant; somebody pulled an unsafe move, causing a rider to go down; Bianchi rider then went OTB over fallen rider, AFAIK. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
