Daily tribute - And the winner is...

[The_Break]

I was out doing intervals on the Bottlery/Kuilsrivier road today and then again over toward the Helshoogte where I passed a cyclist who gave me the idea to start a daily tribute in honor of those we see out on the road who through their wisdom and knowledge have given so much to our sport that we can be thankful for. I will kick it off.

 

Today's winner is:

 

The wise old man in the yellow cycling cap for teaching me and your fellow two younger riders so much:

 

For your wisdom in showing us that wearing a helmet is over rated and silver hair looks so much cooler under a cap. I am sure the motorist who rides you down will be thankful for a suite of copable homicide.

 

For teaching your fellow younger cyclists that is not Ayoba to stop at red robots, but much cooler to fly down the outside of the traffic and then hook it on rails around the corner and through the red light. I saw a few people in their cars cheering at your skill. You may not have seen it, but those 2 youngsters who followed you had looks of awe on their faces. Shucks, bet they want to grow up to be like you.

 

So thanks for being such a great influence on us. Your ways teach us safety and also help us to be safer on the roads as with the cool stuff you pull off in front of traffic motorist can only like us so much more and therefore be so much more careful and tolerant of us.

 

So to the silver haired, yellow jerseyed, yellow capped, legend with no helmet, today we salute you.

A little peeved at someone, Break?

[pbrizzolari]

I'm with Break on this one. If cyclists want to complain when they are run down by cars, perhaps they should show a little respect for the rules of the road. As for riding without a helmet; isn't suicide a little easier with a gun or rope?

I do not have the discipline to follow the code of the red light if I turn L at the traffic light or stop street Kinda slip through pretending.

QUestion, so don't get mad at me. Does doing that make you any better than a taxi driver who does the same? Would that irritate you if you saw a taxi driver do that, especially in your neighbourhood?

 

I am unfortunately one of those who when doing a group ride stop at everything and then group must wait for me else I do my own ride. Especially when I am wearing my club kit.

I don?t think so because he has been quite active in Camps Bay aria over the last 2 weeks. And yes he still has the set of 4 bladed spinergy wheels on his beast.

Saw two guys riding without helmets yesterday, both in the Bellville/Durbanville area. One was coming up Tiekiesdraai while I was going down, the second one I passed going up Vissershok.

Made the comment to him " NICE HEAD YOU GOT THERE" (bushy hairstyle) He did not reply (maybe he did not hear me), but also did not try and catch up with me again.

Well if I was Jacque Collins then that means you are the son of the silver haiored dude. Like father like son?
