Kransie' date=' I would also get us locked up if I came across myself at a road block. The point is to get all the people to work together on getting metro to pay attention. Just how serious this is in the greater scheme of the gauteng metro I am not sure.

Anyhow - when is the botswana ride ? [/quote']

Well if you are interested there is the Kalahari 2 Day stage race on 24th and 25th July..............

 

And then a private little adventure some buddies are giving some thought to is a 3 day mtb across the Makgadidadi Pans with support vehicles

I cannot understand how this issue has become so heated?

To the cyclists: when traveling through the area' date=' please ride in single file, obey road rules, put a smile on your face and wave. Understand that it is frustrating to be behind some cyclists that are riding abreast and making it difficult to pass ect... Not everyones a cyclist and we all need to respect that. Contact the local councillor and push for cycling lanes.

To the residents: cyclists have a right to be on the roads, is it really that difficult to be on the look out for them? Is it really that hard to take care when passing them? It may not bring money in to the area in a direct way, but I'm pretty sure it helps indirectly. And why the aggravation, surely life is too short? Rather contact you local police station and ask them to help if the problem is so out of hand. Contact your local councilor and push for cycling lanes.

What we don't need is this name-calling and insulting that's happening, it's certainly not why I come to the hub. It's not that hard to make this work chaps, you just got to want to!

Bell-boy, insults aren't going to help, you're way out of line and Mr.Ples you certainly not helping. And cradleresident, do you speak for all residents... I think surely not, we need solutions here, not threats.

holy - where are teh playing cards that are meant to be attached to the spokes/fork. your chopper might (but only might) make a little bit of noise.

 

cradleresident - if the cyclists aren't there i can guarantee you there will be more bikers. that is a simple no-brainer. you have made it clear that you want ANYTHING other than cyclists so don't complain now. rather just explain to your livestock-breeding neighbours why this has happened and why you think it is preferable to cyclists.

[Slowbee]

flip HR - thats an awesome floor. When last did you have it sanded ?

 

Do you still have the original door's and door frame's?

 

 

 

[Captain Slow]

Found this on the CARD facebook page;

 

 

 

by Daniel Scoville Bomfim - I wonder what it is that makes some people think that their commute and/or destination is so much more important than another persons life. Everyone is in a hurry, and everyone has the "right of the way". What they don't have, is common sense. Forget the legal aspects, we are talking about lives. Is it so hard to respect that?!

 

 

 

I think this is what we should strive for, Respect and common courtesy!!

 

 

 

To ALL cyclists riding thru the Cradle, I appeal to you all to be Courteous & Respectful on these roads. May GOD Bless you all and keep you safe!!

 

 

 

 

[mr ples]

Rant and Rave, all deception, egos, lies, one-sided stories - But how about the 'Truth'.

 

 

 

I have been requested to lay-off the cyclists, WHY?

 

 

 

The facts:

 

Mark Thijs posted this topic.

 

- A one sided story has been posted by him,

 

- He was part of a rumor campaign about Cradle residents planning a blockade,

 

- He initiated a lawyer?s letter, and rolled it out to apply to all Cradle residents,

 

- He names Residents from our area by name and by business and implicates them in this one sided story

 

- He exaggerates,

 

- Makes no attempt to resolves issues, only adds fuel to the fire

 

- Apologises that he won?t make proposed meetings,

 

- Watches from the side line, will not intervene to keep the process civil, decent and propagate common respect.

 

- Will not discipline his cronies, when totally out of hand.

 

 

 

Mark, Bruce, Andrew and Gang, are you proud of yourselves when referring to the Cradle residents as:

 

 

 

Wankers

 

prick

 

Skietepiete

 

childish

 

asshole

 

primitive

 

baboons

 

idiots

 

vigilantes

 

stupid

 

fascists

 

culprits

 

killers

 

murderers

 

****

 

fools

 

cowards

 

Pluss

 

Tossers

 

Obsessive- compulsive, and using phrases like

 

Slap Ken

 

Reemed by Bubba

 

AK47 up your ring

 

Glock in your face

 

see you in jail, whilst you threaten to

 

Boycott businesses.

 

 

 

From the onset, I and other cradle residents requested Decency and Respect. This fell on deaf ears. So we gave you and your cronies just a little bit of the same treatment, now you call for the thread to be ended, request us to give it up, close the topic, deactivate our account etc. WHY? For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What ever you got from 1 Cradle Resident, me Mr Ples, you obviously can not handle. Any comments posted by me were in response to some pathetic cyclist?s opinion ? DON?T FORGET YOU STARTED ? PERIOD.

 

 

 

The Cradle Residents wish to engage with the responsible Cyclists, who wish to resolve issues in a constructive manner. Our tolerance is running out!

 

 

 

Residents in the Cradle have been assaulted, insulted, generally speaking you crap in our bush, litter the area, pee on the road side, use in appropiate sign language, ride more than 3 abreast, break the rules of the road and admit it. My personal feeling is you and others are suffering from a ?guilt conscience? and posted this topic as a diversion tactic. You have entered the Cradle Area, violated it, then I launch a little missile and I get requested by personal emails and calls to stop the onslaught. ? DON?T FORGET YOU STARTED ? PERIOD.

 

 

 

To Cradle Residents: Postpone this meeting, lets get all the Residents Associations, Conservancy, Estates, Farmers Unions, Business, CPF?s, FPA?s, Disaster Management, Conserv, other interested and affected parties from the COHWHS and surrounds together. We exhibit the facts and the figures as above, previous minute, and elect reps. We then engage with Government and it?s agencies, and when ready we meet with reps from Organised Cycling.

 

 

 

To Responsible Cyclists and Organised Cyclist Groups: Lets see as a staring point, your commitment to the process by disciplining these renegades on this forum.

 

 

 

Mark THIJS, irrespective of the incident, that is between you and the other road user, you choose to bring it to this forum and remember - YOU STARTED ? PERIOD.

 

 

 

 

 

Yours Truly

 

Trevor
