Edereese Posted November 1, 2020 Share Hectic - hope you are in better shape than your bike A friend of ours had a car turn in front of him at Sun Valley Mall yesterday morning - judging from the damage to the car, he is eina today. Black Hill traffic lights have also seen a few crashes in past few weeks.I saw the post on Facebook. The bike took most of the impact, back wheel hit the rear end, but it seems like the dropout is damaged. Luckily I got my right foot out and managed to lock back and before impact I let go. Like 5 bruises on my right leg and swollen hamstring. splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted November 1, 2020 Share Wheel saved my life, did not crumble and kept me upright so I went onto hood of car and not under the car. So grateful for these. ChrisF, the nerd, HighRider and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballingCyclist Posted November 1, 2020 Share Yesterday 2 incidents with our bunch. 1. Descending Constantia Nek towards Constantia, on the blind corner, "pedestrian" walks out the bushes into the road, a mate hit him solid, not sure if there were perhaps other guys waiting in the bushes wanting to jack him or if the pedestrian he hit was hoping my mate would swerve so he could perhaps push him off the bike, but my mate hit him solid, he came off worse than my mate bu a long shot 2. After breakfast at Bottlegger Kenilworth, Main Rd outside Maynard Mall, lady in an uber opened rear door without looking, My luckily swerved, clipped the door over the bars, quite a few scratches and bruises, Fortunately bike seems 100% fine with a small scratch on the bar tape and left shifter hood. Silly season is DEF approaching aswell as danger season where skelms know that cyclists are out on the road and are "easy" targets. Well, Safe to say I know a few guys who aren't such easy targets and it's not gonna end well for skelms of they intend to make a few okes I know their victims.

Pure Savage Posted November 1, 2020 Share I can't believe what's going on at the moment. So did they just crash into the back of you at speed?We think they tried to squeeze the back of the group off the road, missed the agile MTBers, then lined me up. down shifted and came for me. Either they were going to ride away on bikes or just take phones as were in a small car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the crazy wind at the top of Chappies made me head back towards the calm of seapoint... and I always ride alone. These attacks seem to happen very early in the morning before the roads get too busy. We need to make a plan to hunt these guys down, we can't live like this.
