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.

 

 

Go and tell this to someone who has had a husband or child run over by these simple motorists.

This has been a true learning experience.....to sum it up:

 

You are not allowed to have a personal opinion.  You will get flamed for it!!!  20061122_063047_Burn.gif

You are not allowed to defend yourself!!  You getting killed, that is just the government not doing their work.http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/puzzled.gif

I am classified as a rapist because I get mad when people try to kill mehttp://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/lieb62.gif

No help fighting a lost cause.  Just sit in your corner and be quiet.  Good boy!http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/headscratch.gif

Violence is not an option.  Just like David did nothing to Goliath, so you must sit on your behind and except your fait.  Not your fault.  It is the governments!http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/naughty.gif

I think we must adopt the Penquine's motto.....Madagascar style!

Do you maybe have a suggestion how the cyclists from this story managed to get to this old mans work before him? Could have used legs like that on Sunday!

Sucks.... I arrived on the scene where a buddy and his partners were hit by a truck.... not a nice sight to see. The partner still does not cycle. First of all I am a cyclist and I also do hate motorists who in their narrow conservative minds see cyclists as as "moffies with tight pants on"!!!!!! I CANNOT handle a motorist who has no respect for other road users. Not only do I cycle, my wife is my partner on the Tandem. I fear for her safety as well.

 

What I cannot condone is "VIGILANTE" cyclists who take the law in their own hands. THAT CAN NEVER EVER BE OK!!!!!..........OK!!!!! They are thugs who villify your and my name as a cyclist (even Cervelo's name!!!). They can be the cause of you being WILLFULLY struck by a car next time. They should face the FULL force of the law and SUFFER the concequinces!!!!!!

Couldn't agree more. My wife just started cycling, and I am very concerned for her safety.

 

As for taking the law into your own hands....

 

In this instance, although part of says " rock on, the driver deserved it and then some"

the rational part of me says "bloody idiots, all they've done is make us cyclists more of a target"

 

Thank heavens I wasn't riding with the group yesterday.

Hey Oom H.....Hierdie is nie "Vigilante" mannie nie.  HULLE WAS 'N GROEP VAN 40 wat rustig uit was op 'n training ride.......Vigilantes soek skoor....hierdie ouens het fiets gery saam met hulle vriende en familie.....HELLO!!!!!

 

Die motoriste moet aanhou met die nonsens....Net spring daar rerig Vigilante groepe op en DAN kan oom bitch en moun. 

 

Tot dan moet almal besef dat dit is menslik om te reageer.  Vir elke aksie is daar 'n gelykstaande en teenoorgestelde reaksie........

hulle het nie vir oupa hard genoeg ge@#(#*# nie want hy kon nogsteeds met die media konkel maar hopelik was dit hard genoeg dat hy dit nie weer sal doen nie Wacko

For every action there is a counter reaction..... you find that in Physics my young boy and NOT in civilzed societies. Thank goodness it was NOT the 40 cyclists who attacked and savagely beat the defenceless old man ..... only the six "VIGILANTES" who waited for him at his place of work!!!!!!!

 

VIGILANTES = People who take the law in their own hands...... this is what the thugs did.... HELLOOOOO!!!!!!

Spinnekop , vigilantes soek nie skoor nie . Dit is ouens wat die reg in eie hande neem soos wat hier die geval was . Hulle het geen reg gehad om oupa aan te rand nie .  Ek weet dit is dalk net die een kant van die saak en dat oupa dalk skoor gesoek het , maar daardie ses vigilante soos jy hulle noem het so pas die lewe vir alle fietsryers moeilik gemaak .

Let me relate a story of what recently happened to me on our last visit to RSA.

 

At the One Stop near Kaalfontein we stopped to get something to drink. On my way to the convenience store an arrogant young man in a 4x4 willully tried to run me over while his companion laughed at the incident. I went to the cold drink store and lo and behold the snuiter walked in. I accosted him to his behaviuor, he got angry and threw a punch at me. I feigned the punch and decked him with the two litre coke in my hand. His buddy tried his luck and I asked him if he wanted to look worse than his pal. He turned around and fled leaving his buddy out cold on the floor. With my HR close to max I left, got into the car and drove off leaving a bunch of flabbergasted people in the cafe. Only told M about it that evenibg.

 

That guy got what he looked for and I will do it again if the same thing happened again.

 

But to attack a old man in a premeditated way is criminal.

1. How did they know where he worked?

2. How did they get there before him?

 

Traffics very congested in that area, quicker to ride bike than car. They simply followed him then when he got out they B***sem him and roughed up a lady.
