Dead straight, flat, widest shoulder you will find in CPT, perfect conditions. Drove past the scene minutes after it happened. Lots of vehicles and "helpers" on the scene. A driver has to be blind, drunk or seriously distracted to hit anything at that spot. 🤬 ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtbiker404 Posted October 11, 2022 Share How people still think they can safely cycle on SA roads I don`t know. People need to stop cycling on roads and urban cycle paths, it is not safe, it is not worth the risk, it is EXTREMELY dangerous.

You sound like my mom when she wanted me to stop racing motorbikes.

I decided it wasn't worth all the costs, time and risks anymore (but mostly cost and time). Bicycles are a lot more reliable, and cheap to run ! One day I might decide that training on the road isn't worth the risk anymore, but it will be my decision ! ChrisF, The Ouzo and Hairy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted October 11, 2022 Share Just living from day to day is as much a risk as it is a blessing. You can decide which you choose to focus on. 🙏 Derren, ChrisF and lechatnoir 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short distance up the road, the turn to Kraaifontein is consistently a dicy spot. Hope these two riders are back on two wheels soon Edited October 11, 2022 by ChrisF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
