covie Posted September 21, 2010 Share Have had some coloured chaps in a Old beaten up Golf try and drive as close as they possibly can to see if they could scare me and my girl to fall over on botelary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covie Posted September 21, 2010 Share Look at this instrument ...http://www.cyclelab.com/products/KIMBER%20GUARDIAN%20ANGEL%20JPX.aspx A bit bulky to carry around though? That one has a palm sized little brother cant remember what the name is but made by the same manufacture / same principle but a shorter range though.

LeTurbo Posted September 21, 2010 Share Ya I know , so whats wrong with that road , I have never had a problem . If the criteria for riding was yellow lines and run-off, there wouldn't be anywhere to ride in Cape Town. Don't ride Main Road, don't ride Muizenberg, don't ride Clifton ...

covie Posted September 21, 2010 Share If the criteria for riding was yellow lines and run-off, there wouldn't be anywhere to ride in Cape Town. Don't ride Main Road, don't ride Muizenberg, don't ride Clifton ... And we wonder why most of the cyclist that get knocked down is on those areas? And yes that should be the criteria avoid roads whithout yellow lines wherever possible its just safer. Ive nearly knocked a couple of guys over in the Glen Garry Muizenberg kalkbay stretch, theres hardly enough room for cars on those roads let alone bikes.

MariusL Posted September 21, 2010 Share Have had some coloured chaps in a Old beaten up Golf try and drive as close as they possibly can to see if they could scare me and my girl to fall over on botelary. I've had a simliar experience where they try and ride as close to you as possible... I was then clever enough to tell the guy what I thought about his mommy... he wasn't impressed and then they proceeded to tune me all types of kaka, when at that moment I got a nice "green slimmy" in my throat and aimed it their way (another bad move)... mr. green slimmy then decided to fly through the passenger window and land nicely on the inside of the windscreen with a lovely *splat*... then I k@ked myself coz they stopped the truck up the road and waited for me... So I had to make a u'ie and try and ride away from them (while hearing their footsteps and cursing behind me)... I got away... but only just... I'm sure I would've gotten mo3red, and hard...

MacDaddy Posted September 21, 2010 Share last saturday i was cycling through st.james past muizenberg and there was this asshole walking along in my direction and when i passed him he decided to run alongside me trying to keep up. I gave him a (BEK-SKOOT) and that sorted him out. Wasn't going to take a chance being a victim..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted September 22, 2010 Share That's when you need to pull out a sawn off shot gun and pump the f&^%ers full of led... Especially brave since there were two of you...

splat Posted September 22, 2010 Share In summer I freeze my water bottles...so when people do **** like this u just throw it against there rear window...what a good way to give them some **** back! That sounds great in theory, but in practice, that car could stop and 4 okes with bats looking for trouble could get out and make you and your bike look like a bendy Pinarello...

Caerus Posted September 22, 2010 Share I had a similar situation, the first time I rode on the roads here. Two guys in a white nissan bakkie tried to run me off the road cause I took exception to them cutting mme off and me almost going over my handlebars - I managed to catch up to them. One swift discharge of pepper spray into there bakkie had them coughing and spluttering their lungs out. That was the first and only time Ive ridden on the roads here, after commuting for 10 years in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emdee96 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Look at this instrument ...http://www.cyclelab.com/products/KIMBER%20GUARDIAN%20ANGEL%20JPX.aspx A bit bulky to carry around though?I've used one of those before - its two shots with an easy reload but more for close combat (no more than 5 metres) where a knife/pepper spray/asp just won't work. Its small enough to carry on your hip without being to uncomfortable. I would say, stay cool, get the plates and sort it out when you 2 are on even ground or via the SAPS process.

Trust me, not a good idea. Tried it about a year ago after a disagreement with 3 taxi's and got the cr*p kicked out of me plus a few stitches in my ear.
