I think you were the tit on the Cervelo if I am correct.

 

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


smiley32.gif Got one part correct...the other part u missed....If only my dad was that dude without the helmet I would have been a decent cyclist. Do u do training for the fun or u the type that always see negative's in life.

 

I do training for a job, so I see anything that pisses other road users off who try and run me off the road on a nearly daily basis.

Today's winner is again the old man in the yellow cap, excep this time he had a green cap.

 

This time he enspired me with the skill of riding through a blatent red traffic light at the bottom of the Helshoogte pass. Blatent in the fact that it had been red for about 45sec, then he pedalled up to it, saw myself and about 10 cars waiting there and then just rode straight through. It changed to green about 10 seconds after it.

 

I shouted words of encouragement at him:

 

"Hey, you, get some discipline! Hey, I am talking to YOU on the bicycle."

 

He looked back as if to recognise what an inspiration he is to us all.

 

In a serious note, the guy next to me in the car said he would run him off the road for me a bit further up. I don't know what happend as I turned right there.

 

You know there is a lot of talk about the age at which motorists should have there licenses taken away. I think there should be a system like that for cyclists.

So dam what if the guy in the yellow cap green or flipping pink cap does not wear a helmet or stop at the traffic lights there's nothing that you or me can do about it thats his choice you cant teach a old dog new tricks and I dont agree with what he doesbut give it a break already.

 

What next you going to stop outside Kayamandi and make sure every one is using condoms.

Ever heard of public pressure? The lack of it is the reason SA is getting so out of control. But you are right about one thing, it is outside my sphere of influence, just hoping that one of his fellow riders will read this and speak some sense into the old guy.

One of the biggest myths ever, perpetrated by some lazy fat old fart years ago who didn't want to change, it got written down and passed down through generations, finally to be believed and used by people like you, thereby perpeatring a lie, which has become truth in the heads of millions of sad little people, by the power of the self fulfilling prohecy.

I know, that is why I was irritated cause it affects us all at the end of the day. I wouldn't care if he just wore no helmet, I see a few around but leave them alone, but I can assure you he is one of the reasons cyclists are targeted in our area. In fact he is probably a very big reason why we get targeted in our area.

 

If he pisses off only 1 guy a day and you assume he has been riding for only 10 years, then there are at least 3650 people who are possible dangers to us. But, seeing the way he rides I would assume he alone is responsible for many more than that and that is a lot of people. Only a very small % of people will actually do something but if that is only 0.1% then you have at least 3 guys in our area alone who are probably on the edge of taking you out. That's something to consider.

I agree 100% with you. If other people think that you are taking this issue to far then it is because they are probably guilty of the same thing.

PS: next time you see him just tell him what a ?Dutch Cat? he is and what a good role model he is to the younger generation.

I would still love to snatch his cap off of his head and see him frantically chasing me to get it back. LOL, would be funny.

I am in!!! Let?s do it and then give him one of those Topsport helmets from the late80?s/early 90?s that looks like a salad bowl that someone shot with a shotgun. Then he will truly look like the ledged he attempts to be.

Ok, then we need a 3rd person with a video camera for Youtube. Shucks, we had better plan it properly as if there is a robot I will have to stop and then he may actuallly catch me. LOL
