The Saint Posted January 27, 2007 Share Also managed to meet this guy????? Not sure who he is but he did a lot to get this ride organized...I think he is called chucky, chewy or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted January 28, 2007 Share Well done to all concerned - lets hope that at least some drivers will think a bit more about how the drive past cyclists. Found a mention of it on News 24http://www.news24.com/News24/South_Africa/News/0,9294,2-7-1442_2060648,00.html and same press release on iafrica .comhttp://iafrica.com/news/sa/768266.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
