... is a little consideration.

 

I read endless threads here about cyclists behaving badly and motorists too. At this mornings Cyclelab ride one of the cyclelab ladies was knocked down by a car cnr witkoppen/Montecasino blvd.

 

Having finished our loop and waiting patiently at the traffic light, our hero in a black BMW WGN 478 GP put on a stellar performance. In a show of pure agression, arrogance, and amazing stupidity, he pulled off with a wheel spin as the light turned green to demonstarte to us his power and annoyance at having cyclists around his Vehicle. She was knocked over, with cuts and bruises to her arm, visibly shaken and shocked, and the BMW was immediately surrounded by an angry C1 group. It took him a while to emerge and explain his pitiful behavior. Standing at about 1.4m tall it was clear to all what his car was compensating for.

 

It amazes me that there is so much unnecessary aggression and dumb behavior that could have ended a lot worse this morning. Is it just JHB?

I hope she recovers fast.

Well the strange thing is that the whole group was waiting in the yellow road reserve for the light to change in twos and three's.

He was promptly swarmed after he knocked her down, another bakkie even pulled over and that driver took the guys keys to stop him making a quick getaway.

And then? Were details taken? Accident report opened? Alternatively, an assault charge laid against the driver?

I'm a proud resident of Pretoria North. No body here has indicators on the cars, and those who have a to dumb to use them. Got a new record this week, 3 people nearly ran over me. The other half just try and cut traffic circles, thanks to disc brakes I live to tell the tale

Dude, you're just silly.

 

Seffa rugger is famous for winning. Just like the bulls.

 

Doesn't help you golden boys scoring gazzillions of tries if you don't ever win anything. Like the last game against NZ, or the one before that, or the tri nations or... oh no, now I am being silly. Sorry...

Wow the question is not where to start but where to draw the line!! F1, Moto GP, swimming, athletics, speedway, cycling, MTB'ing, BMX'ing, tennis, rugby league, etc etc etc......oh and unlike the bulls when they throw a punch ......its not from behind!! Ask Oom H to tell you about Mr.Geldenhuys when he gets a chance!!

 

Oops me being silly again!

Why not, the driver displayed an aggressive attitude and most likely would have made a run for it. Nowhere is it mentioned they used any physical force.
