ChrisF Posted January 5, 2021 Share Do you know which road this happened on? Was it Tygerberg Valley Road or Contermans Kloof Road?Not sure, will ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORNE Posted January 5, 2021 Share i dont know why but I have a feeling it might be here. I rode a wide loop beginning of December via panorama and thought ill go through here up tygerbergvalley road back to the suburbs and when i went torugh this bit my spidey senses were dialled up to 11. You are super exposed there, especially if you catch a lull in the traffic. Anyway..just speculating. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted January 5, 2021 Share Glad to report back the 12 year old was released from hospital this morning. I suggested the dad monitor both kids and consider counceling, lets not forget a 6 year old watched all this .... The dad is getting hold of the security company .... Can also add, police waited for the kid to get home. The police will only now start the process of getting the witness statements .... uhm jaaa ...

MORNE Posted January 5, 2021 Share That 12 year old has some guts!i guess it depends on the kid but thats a tender age to go through something like this. It sucks donkey balls. As a mildly responsible grownup (arguably), i had some serious bad thoughts towards certain people when it happened to me the first time around. I'm not so sure it can be that easy for a pubescent boy to get over something like this without it doing some damage. or maybe I was just an angry child i blame metal music and all those 'satanic' computer games... Glad ge's ok physically though. Hairy, DJR and mazambaan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted January 6, 2021 Share How is it that this incident hardly makes the news?Reams of reports of a kite surfer arrested on the beach but hardly anything about thisTiming. Should see the reams of stuff that comes through news desks. There are literally thousands of things happening and it's all about who is where and with what resources/workload. A lot of stuff worse than this comes and it gets lost in the ether.Even something like a kid with downs syndrome getting shot by a police officer, which had coverage. Public outrage dissipates pretty quickly. Tumbles (RIP) worked in that area of news rooms and could've shared a lot of perspective.

DJR Posted January 7, 2021 Share ............Tumbles (RIP) worked in that area of news rooms and could've shared a lot of perspective. Strange how nearly every time I read stuff re. news and the media here on the BikeHub and think of him, unusual for someone I never even met, he must have had a bigger influence on me than I thought back then. crowder, Hairy and Danger Dassie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Dassie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Dumb ****s. Pity the oke didn't slip on the clutch and reverse into his mate. They look like they could be recognisable though, at least the one guy with the beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_lurker Posted January 11, 2021 Share Dumb ****s. Pity the oke didn't slip on the clutch and reverse into his mate. They look like they could be recognisable though, at least the one guy with the beard.Was thinking exactly the same thing, a little bit of thieving bastard squashed against the wall would've been a great outcome.Interesting to see that the driver looks like a woman.
