Call Me Crazy Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 NEWS24 ?n Oupa en ingenieur van Boksburg aan die Oos-Rand is gister deur ses fietsryers aangeval nadat hy vir hulle getoeter het sodat hy hulle kon verbysteek. Mnr. Pierre Grobbelaar (61) van Boksburg is gisteroggend by sy werkplek deur fietsryers in Concordestraat, Bedfordview, aangeval, toe hy sowat ?n kilometer van sy werk af ?heel ordentlik? vir hulle gevra het om aan die kant te ry sodat hy hulle kon verbysteek. ?Hulle was deel van ?n groep van so 40 en het die pad vol gery. Ek het getoet en almal het padgegee, maar toe ek by die werk stop, was ses fietsryers daar wat my begin slaan het,? het hy ges?.Grobbelaar, wat by Murray & Roberts werk, s? hy het verskeie houe teen die kop en bolyf gekry en is met pepersproei gespuit.?Dit het soos ?n ewigheid gevoel. Hulle het my hemp van my lyf af geskeur.? Dit het vir hom soos ?n georganiseerde fietsry-oefening gelyk. Al die ryers het fietsryklere gedra.?Toe ?n kollega my wou kom help, het hulle haar ook soos ?n vloerlap eenkant gegooi,? het Grobbelaar ges?. Die fietsryers het hul aanval glo gestaak nadat een van hulle Grobbelaar met pepersproei gespuit het.Dr. Frans Human van Germiston het gister aan Beeld ges? Grobbelaar het verskeie kneusplekke op sy gesig en lyf opgedoen, maar die ergste is dat hy ?n kortisoon-inspuiting moes kry om sy asemhaling te verbeter. Supt. Andy Pieke, polisiewoordvoerder, het gister ges? ?n aanrandingsaak word ondersoek.?Ons het nog geen verdagtes gearresteer nie, maar die polisie in Bedfordview gaan met die fietsryklubs in di? omgewing praat om verdagtes te identifiseer,? het hy ges?.
ewep Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Soos John Robby vanoggend ges? het, "It's only one side of the story, get the cyclists and asked what really happened"
Cois Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Glo nie daai oupa nie. Hoekom kan hy nie wag soos enige ander persoon nie. Sy lewe sal nie ophou omdat hy net bietjie stadiger ry nie. And it is time to hit back!
nellie Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Dis nogsteeds nie nodig om geweldadig te word nie! Maak nie saak wat die ou omie gedoen het nie. BARBARE!!!
Pantani Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I also find that story hard to believe... I mean, I believe that he got "donnered" good, and I'm not saying it should be done. But there's a reason to give anyone a good hiding. Like the bloke I wanted to flatten on Sunday during the race. We were riding doing about 40km/h and we were passing him and he was going really slow. However, he was very vocal about the distance at which we passed, seemingly it was too close. Now, I can't help the 10 guys who passed him before I got there (very fast pace line) however if I have done nothing to you please do not swear me for no reason, I take exception to this! I also don't care how old you are, if you're old enough to swear me, you're old enough to get F*&%#D up! So he seemed very surprised when I jumped out of the pace line and came back to him and almost klapped him off his bike. He doesn't know my mother that way so he should have left her out of it! My point is, any person who starts something must be prepared for the backlash... That is why when I ride I am weary of throwing signs at motorists, because there are consequences. Same goes for motorists, you start *** with a bunch of cyclists, be aware of the fact that there are consequences. This also applies to cyclists versus cyclists, if you going to bring it, then bring it, but I've already brought it and if you going to swear me for no reason, I don't care if you're 70, I'm going to take you to task, especially since I'm a polite cyclist...
Spinnekop Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Dis nogsteeds nie nodig om geweldadig te word nie! Maak nie saak wat die ou omie gedoen het nie. BARBARE!!! Nellie. Gaan vertel dit vir die klein 2 jarige dogtertjie wat haar pa verloor het omdat "oupa" nie geduldig kon wees nie.....en haar pa is nou dood. En ma moet self sien kom klaar om haar dogtertjie groot te maak en deur skool te sit. Sonder haar regterhand. Vertel vir daardie twee vroue dat ons as fietsryers moet net alles gedwee aanvaar........
MWdeJager Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Everything you say is spot on Pantani. But we live in a civilised society. At least, that is how it is supposed to be. If one has to fear for your life every time you offend someone, then what have we become? Barbarians? Maybe it is a good this the omie got donnered. Maybe the next motorist will think before being rude and impatient towards cyclists. It seems that lawlessness is taking over and even some cyclists seem to think that if you are commiting a group crime, it is ok. IT IS NOT!
Guest Big H Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Cyclists are NOT elevated above other people. Even if the reponses above may suggest so!!!!! NO CITIZEN may take law in his own hands. I sincerely hope that the six fools who assaulted mr Grobbelaar are apprehended, sentenced and locked up in jail. They have NO place in society and deserve the FULL inhumanities of our correctional facilities, even if they are cyclists. Those of you that think this is a "good deed" minds are just as warped as the cyclists who did this. It does not matter what he did, what they did is not acceptable in any society.... however skewed our society may be. In their testosterone riddled state they did not for one moment think what harm they did or are doing to the cycling fraternity. We are a unprotected minority by virtue of the sport we chose to practice.
Pantani Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Listen, I actually don't like riding with guys who get all upset everytime a motorist does something, to me it's not worth the trouble. I believe the axiom, "Live by the sword, die by the sword". So when people whip their swords out, be prepared for the other bloke who might have a bazooka!!! Hahahahahaha So generally I avoid confrontations....
Guest Big H Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 No need to motivate your aggressiveness Pantani!!!!!!
AuctionLamb Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 ?Dit het soos ?n ewigheid gevoel. Hulle het my hemp van my lyf af geskeur.? Dit het vir hom soos ?n georganiseerde fietsry-oefening gelyk. Al die ryers het fietsryklere gedra. Nogals 'n goeie beskrywing van die ou man!
Pantani Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 OK, my bad Big H... I feel sorry for that old man but I'm a man, and when I get into a confrontation with a man that's bigger than me, someone like you for instance Big H, I back down and walk away... I suppose he tried to walk away but they were riding faster than he could walk? Just like I tell my girlfriend, never hoot at people in anger if you not prepared to fight, just apologise and move on...
pastapouch Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 I'd like to hear the cyclists story, the motorist probarly hooted at them, and then tried to run them over... He must be a regular looking for sh*t on that road if they knew where he was working. Because they waited for him at his work, when he stopped at work there was 6 cyclists??? He got what he probarly deserved, no one get aggressive because a motorist hooted at them. And I don't think I'm gonna look for sh*t with a bunch of 40 cyclists... he probarly couldn't count.
