can u believe this

....... and the role of the lying dumb ass must go to ME!

Still trying to 'back pedal' out of that one I see. Better hope the bank isnt contacted or you're going to be up some serious trouble.
As for the gumtree ads guys are posting' date=' thats serious too, they should be pulled down right away (unless they are Ken's)
Also, I think posting Ken's emails is seriously bad taste. Even though that last email someone posted showed some incredible hatred from him, and some really intolerant behavior, its still no reason to post it here.

Lets face the facts. Cyclists are always breaking the road rules. If it's not having total disregard for common traffic rules, it's being selfish and hogging the road by riding abreast. I see roadies throwing rubbish around, and now defecating on someone's property?? It's no wonder this guy is so worked up. [/quote']

 

Capecyclist, maybe you should ask Gasping to sell you his Avatar........ "IDIOT"............. It will suit you perfectly. You are another one of those faceless cowards who are hiding behind his anonimity and verbally abusing people on this website. Your are a worthless faceless nameless creature that has NO guts. Go away and stay away. We do not need your type around here.

 

Come on guys, give Cape Cyclist a chance. Imagine what immense pressure he must be under, having Puke Watson as his team captain and on top of that, having lost to the Cheetahs!!! Shame, he must be able to vent somewhere and uncle Gasping, he just took a (dis)liking to you.

Stop it!! u blerry noodle

I am not sitting and plotting my revenge. That is an assumption on your part.

 

?

 

You asked a question and I answered it. Done and dusted. Nothing more' date=' and nothing less.

I did not confront him because there is the possibility that I could?get a little emotional when I am standing up for what I believe in - my right to use the road to ride my bicycle. Face to face I would welcome the opportunity to put my point of view forward without getting physical.? I have never started a fight in my life - finished a couple of them though.

 

?

 

I was wondering when you would get involved on this thread. We might be a bunch of tossers, but we are a bunch. There are a lot of us who feel that the email was unnecessary, un-called for and threatening. Why should we take it?

 

?

 

There are two sides to every story. I have made my opinions known on both sides. The way you are posting here makes me wonder if you agree with cyclists being run over. See what happens when someone gets half a story, a bee in their bonnet and then makes up nonsense?

 

?

 

Come on Roly.

you know the legend about the penguins falling over when they watched the jets fly over the falklands? just because 2-million of them did it, doesn't make it right. are we a bunch? i think not. i won't stand up for someone who has no respect for the rules of the road, just as i won't stand up for people who sit and think of childish ways to get their own back. why not simply engage the person as chucky has done. nearly everything else here is inflammatory. look for the path of least reisistance

can anybody send him spam or maybe a virus.

 

I'm tempted to do this I'll create a new email account on my hosted domain and then spam the crap out him. I'll just change the meta information in the headers to come from his own email address

Here the full ken story

About 2 years ago (and still is) the cyclist issue was totally out of hand in the cradle. An email was sent to residents and from the response it was clear

that 99% of residents had issues with cyclists. I then set up a meeting with Giovanni and a guy called Charl from the traffic department. At this meeting it was acknowledged that these problems were serious and things had to be done.

A few things that were agreed upon:

 Giovanni would send people out here, and if clubs or groups were breaking the rules they would be dealt with.

All races would be go through the Muldersdrift police forum

If races were not run correctly, there would be a recourse not allowing the event organiser to hold another race in the area.

There would only be a few races a year in the area, instead of a race every second weekend.

Residents would be made aware of races

No road closures

And then the normal stuff, passing on the message that riding 3 or 4 in the road is not on, must ride in the cycle lane ect.

I then sent an email out to the community saying that Giovanni was serious about sorting the issues out.

The bottom line is nothing was sorted out and in my opinion Giovanni was just hoping this would all go away.

Races in the area are organised by any Tom Dick and Harry.

There were three races held on the same day last week in our area.

The Syringa spa road was closed. This is a main route

I could not even get out my gate and had to stay home.

In other words there was total chaos.

So that?s the history

<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

The present

Think bike has taken it upon themselves  to appoint themselves as traffic cops, stopping motorists so that cyclists can now have right of way. This is illegal. We are now supposed to bow down to self appointed traffic cops for the pleasure of a few.

I sent an email to think bike about this and I cc Ken.

A few emails went back and forth between Paul Young and the bottom line was that he didn?t acknowledge any of my issues.

An email from Ken SENT TO ME was by mistake sent to Paul Young (Ken is not that computer literate). Ken hit the ?reply to all? by mistake.

A few issues here.

A private email was posted on the forum without the permission of the sender.

Only a part of the email was posted - I assume to stir up as much emotion as possible.

From this a lot of emails were sent to ken, even death threats. We do not even have to talk about the forum.

Some misconceptions about Ken

He does not shoot lions. Ken is a conservationist who saves lions at his own cost from all over Africa. (running an aeroplane is expensive) He has a private lion reserve where these lions live.

Ken motto is courtesy costs nothing. The sticker is on his car.

The cyclists  that Ken knocked over was not Ken going for them, but the cyclists own stupidity.

Ken could of explained it better, but the email was never meant to go to the forum.

I myself have also knocked a cyclist over, not on purpose, but because of the cyclists stupidly.

Ken is also not someone to stand down and be run away from issues.

So the conclusion is.

All posts on the forum have been copied.

Charges have been laid with the police and the copy of the thread has been given to his lawyers. If you know Ken, you can expect a call.

Those who threatened legal action against Ken, you are very welcome to proceed.

As you know all IP addresses are logged.

 

Mark Thijs has stepped in and made the effort to sort this all out. (Good luck for the operation)

A meeting is going to be set up when he is back and few things from our side are:

We want minutes of the meeting

Those attending the meeting must be serious about sorting out the issues.

There must be recourse if issues are not addressed.

 

Last thing

By looking at the comments on the thread, these are the same guys that ride through here. Do you think these guys obey the rules and act with respect to the residents? Remember you are a guest here.

for every distasteful comment, it just gives us one more reason to not want these people here.

No one is and never will advocate riding cyclists over, but we can and will make life very difficult for any cyclist riding through here. After awhile hopefully, cyclists will then get the message and go and ride somewhere else, and make those residents lives a misery.

But let?s see how the meeting goes and hopefully the outcome will be ?Cyclists are welcome?

[Moab]

Cradleresident... Interesting comment and thank you for your detailed reply.

 

I have met Mark and he is a great person - sure he can help with this.

 

One thing that concerns me is that you mention that cyclists were hit because of their own stupidity. Please can you give more details? I ask because I was recently hit by a car on Grosvenor road despite my keeping as far left as possible and obeying laws to the extreme. I sometimes think people consider us on the roads as stupidity and that motorists use "stupidity" as an excuse.

[MoreTrails]

The fact that there is a claim of hitting 2 cyclists is scary, but to see this guy Ken has now gone and bought a 2m cattle prod to stir up the situation - well thats crazy.

 

Cradleresident, I can understand the frustration of the bike races and not being able to move through the area. But one this is for sure:

 

YOU 'FRIEND' KEN IS RIGHT WANKER AND DESERVES WHAT EVER COMES HIS WAY!

 

[Cradleresident]

Did you read the whole email. Its guys like you, that is going to make our cause all that much stronger. Problem is that their are a lot of cyclysts that want to ride in the area and guys like you taint all cyclysts.

Why is it that when cyclysts are more than four in a group that get so brave and so arrogant.

Cradle Resident, the Cradle is public domain and does not belong to a bunch of quant boozy arty Englishmen who think they own the place. The road were and are built by TAX PAYERS money, not your own.

 

If laws are being broken, deal with it, do not threaten other people with 2m cattle prods, and if you threaten people with thos cattle prods expect a bloody nose. Not even your lawyers will get you out of this.

 

Stop acting like your famous local resident ..... mrs Ples!!!!!!!!  

[Nancy Drew]

Why can't we all just get along?

 

Ken's right about one thing Courtesy costs nothing but it's something that is sorely lacking on our roads, between all road users on 2 wheels and 4
