carlo_sg Posted August 4, 2008 Share Does anyone know that guy that comes to all the PPA rides in Cape Town without a helmet and rides that yellow and black Scott, with the four spoke Spinergy wheels? Well I just saw a young, tall, coloured guy, wearing a white and red tracksuit riding that specific bike up Gabriel Road in Plumstead. I turned my car around and gave chase, then he disappeared.

jmaccelari Posted August 4, 2008 Share I hate to say it, but if he pitches up to rides without a helmet, getting his bike stolen has done him a favour before he de-brains himself (if he has any)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how people can stillride without one... I saw him at the Cape Argus Expo and thought he was a bit weird, but reckonedhis behaviour was normal for CT. If he's an institution (i.e. should be institutionalised), maybe we should have awhip around and organise him a bone-dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortLegs Posted August 4, 2008 Share He raced past us on Saturday morning coming out of town. I think he lays in wait by the on-ramp and when a group rides past he hops on his steed and nails it to see if anyone will chase. I've also seen him sprint like it's the final lap of the Champs Elysees and then park his bike on the island in the centre and watch with arms crossed as the mere mortals ride pathetically past...

Super J Posted August 4, 2008 Share Hang on just a second! So whats the actual issue here,a stollen bike or a guy not riding with a helmet,which is risky BUT entirely his choice or a debate about selective crime prevention,so in Cape town its OK to steal a bike from a rider without a helmet,now this is all from the worst drivers in SA,WITH OR WITHOUT SEAT BELTS!!! Maybe the guy really has a problem and maybe he really misses his bike!!! If you Cape town bunch cant,wont ,or refuse to help him,send him up here........ We will help with his bike and organise a helmet,after all,he obviousley likes cycling,aint that what counts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, this oke on the Scott who dresses like a banana, and doesn't wear a helmet is rather well known around CT, so maybe someone recognises the bike and gets the cops or something. The fact that Paul doesn't wear a helmet was for reference, and so people would know who he was talking about. But go figure... And I get flayed for hi-jacking threads. Well done Carlo. Nice attempt at being decent. Don't let these w@nkers stop you.TNT12008-08-04 08:03:47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We complain about motorists, but they see guys like this flouting the lawand point fingers at those $#%^ing cyclists who think they are above thelaw. Having one's bike stolen is not cool. Neither is being a "well known figure" and not wearing a helmet.</THROW CAT AMONGST PIGEONS>We could to organise a helmet for the guy, but if we did, would hewear it?

Didn't get his name but he helped me out when i punctured on my way home on the coast rode a few months back. Very friendly and seems to be passionate about his riding, so good on him.
