Very sad day😭😭😭Was a hubber, ID84 was his bikehub name

Oh no!! Tragic! My condolences to family and friends. 
 

The entire Atlantic seaboard section from Bakoven to the Lighthouse is simply too congested for runners, walkers, cyclists, parked cars and moving cars, buses, scooters and motorcycles. I have driven, walked and cycled this section a couple of hundred times now and there simply isn’t enough space. Accidents will sadly continue to happen until there is a separation of traffic. Personally I think the entire section of road should be repainted and split in three, with white lines and bollards separating them. Two lanes for cars and one lane for non motorists. Redesign and expand public parking spaces to make up for lost parking.

The cyclist name is Idries Sheriff. One of the nicest people youll meet on and off the bike. He just loved riding, 

Just lost a good friend.

There is plenty of space if drivers obey the rules of the road and, more importantly, have respect for the lives of other road users. 

 

RIP Idries 🙏

MintSauce, this is the truth and nothing but the truth. This is a tragic and unnecessary loss of life. Naturally, on other forums, before the facts are known, the usual mud is flung in the direction of cyclists "not riding single file" or "being on a busy road" or "taking up too much space". But the truth of the matter is that there is no need for this to happen. Yes, accidents do happen, and we can't avoid all risk on the road. But the devil-may-care that South African motorists have on the road is truly shocking. There is no appreciation that a car, even going at 40km/h, is a lethal weapon when it comes to other road users. Of course, we just have to look at how pedestrians run into traffic too, to truly understand that our road sense is no sense at all. If people exercised caution when driving, patience, and showed respect for others, these stories would not be a feature of our cycling lives.

This is shocking… I’m saddened that yet another rider is gone while doing something they love. My condolences to family. 🥹. ****. 

[Salmo Trutta]

So, so sorry to hear. Condolences.

He was a friend,.originally from Durban, who now left behind his wife and 2 year old son. This is tragic and heart breaking. What an awesome guy who simply loved cycling. He will truly be missed. We will hold a short memorial ride soon.🙏
