Cradle XVII - The Nightmare Continues

[Joe Low]

Latest chapter in the long running saga. I checked t see if its been posted before, sorry if I missed it.

 

The letter came thru from CGC just now to Clubs.

 

 

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

 

 

Please be aware that we do have issues that need resolving with regards to the cradle cycle routes and the residents in the area.

 

Recently there have been incidents of tension and we have been informed that there could be blockading of the route to cyclists over the weekend. This would be totally illegal and we advise all cyclists firstly, not to be drawn into confrontations of any nature verbal or otherwise. Should you find yourselves blocked we implore you to sit it out without engagement, just phone the police and ask them to come out to resolve the stand off.

 

We have the following contacts; firstly as the area is under the jurisdiction of Muldersdrift, the contact is the station commander, Capt. Van Wyk, on (011) 668-7600. Should for whatever reason you not be able to get the required response then the back up would be to contact Mogale City?s, Sup. Daan Grobler on (011) 951-1111.

 

Please under no circumstances allow yourselves to be drawn into a confrontation, should there be any unlawful actions carried out toward you or your fellow cyclists take the necessary details and when able to, lay the appropriate charge against the perpetrators with the police and allow it to take it?s legal course, CGC will undertake the legal stand and ensure the matter is taken to it?s ultimate conclusion.  

 

I am sure that you do not need to be reminded that we need to abide by the rules of the road and be predictable. A bicycle is a defined as a vehicle on the road and should be treated a such and the cyclist is termed the driver and is expected to travel on the road and abide by road rules as if he were in his car, this is as per the national traffic act. Please abide by the rules of the road, riding single file on narrow roads and two abreast only where there are shoulders or appropriate cycling paths, thank you for your cooperation and thus ensuring your safety.

 

 

 

Yours in safe cycling

The source of the problem perhaps?

Debated to death on numerous other threads.

 

This does not however entitle the residents to take the law into their own hands. Good letter to the clubs, and well done for being proactive.

Agreed.

It seems Giovanni must have a PA that has better skills than himself. heard him on 702 just before we left for Nigeria and he sounded like a bumbling idiot and could not give a straight answer to anything. He will have a good future in politics!!!!!!!!
