two women got knocked down in CT by a taxi, other motorists took his keys and then he ran away. cyclists are alright, one can't ride Argus becos of a broken collar bone and the other needs to have her bike repaired.

[gummibear]

Not again.Hope they are ok.

I wonder if this was yesterdays accident with the motor bike?

[Mackie]

It's like the wild west in CT, get off the roads and into the mountains!

This is K&K news every day / week. When will this end?  Do you guys think that its only because there are a lot of people out training for the argus? OR

Drivers / taxis just driving worse?

 

In other words - these people that are hit while cycling, do you cycle during the rest of the year aswell, or they just on the road for argus? I know it can happen to anyone and I don't want to sound clever about it, but some of the people I see on the road got really bad bike skills.

 

Still sad and bad to hear these stories.

SAfe ride ppl

[mon-goose]

lock every damn taxi driver up in prison, throw away the keys and forget about them

Astana, for my ten zim dollarsworth I would say it's a combination of more cyclists and worse driving.

 

But that's just my opinion.

 

Seriously starting to think about going back to running. Cross country this time. Or maybe get a canoe and do the Dusy.

Mountain biking. That's where it's at! I seldom ride on the road anymore - just too dangerous. Get a mountain bike and give it a bash, you'll wonder what took you so long...

Not good news at all and would like to wish the cyclists a speedy recovery!!

CSA should be using these incidents to lobby for bike paths, extensive networks through the metropolitan area. 

 

Events like the Argus and 94.7 bring in RMillions to their respective cities, especially for Cape Town. 

 

Give some back to cycling, create the protected routes, and even create jobs. 

 

Start now with the lobbying, bring allies on board to create pressure, and maybe within a few years Cape Town will have a network stretching from the west coast, to the east, with links into the suburbs and extending even into the towns. Imagine!  

[cat-i]

bike paths!

there's already quite a few patches in jozi; just need a network to connect them - if anyone need my time to help with anything re bike paths, i'm IN.
