Spinnekop Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 My ride to work ended up being very grim. Corner of Meiring Naude and Kings Highway, near the CSIR, the paramedics were busy covering up the body of a cyclist that was hit by a car. Not a pretty sight as he was in a bad state! White male, big guy - 90kg+, riding a black Giant MTB. To you my friend. RIP. Life is so short. Condolences to his family and friends.
Tumbleweed Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 cois mentioned this on another thread. it's awful. thoughts are with the family.was the car still at the scene, or was it a hit and run?
Captain Slow Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Not good news on a Monday Morning!! RIP fellow cyclist till we meet again!!! My condolences to Family & Friends! Spidey, have you got any more info for me please?
Sammajoor Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Always seen him on that stretch Used to ride with Fritz Pienaar clothes
MsBehavn Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 This is very sad. Condolences to friends and family
Spinnekop Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 He did not have kit on as the paramedics were working on him, CPR, heart revival machines etc. Sorry, I do not have more info. I wanted to get out of there ASAP. Not nice to see while riding on your bike. There was a couple of cars standing there but I did not notice any damaged cars.
Spinnekop Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Sorry. I see cois beat me to it. https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=36098
Captain Slow Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks Spidey! Yep, not a nice thing to see. Please guys, use a rear flashing light and a hi visibility vest whilst training or commuting especially during daytime!!

Filamon Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Damn, guys this is always very upsetting. My heart goes out to his family...
scotty Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Be visable, be cautious, but sometimes even this does not help for some idiot motorist's.
Wannabe Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Not nice to hear.My condolences to family and friends of as yet unknown fellow cyclist.
