gtr1 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Today I saw a cyclist riding on the R21 between the Polokwane/Johannesburg interchange and Nellmapius. Not only was he riding on the highway, but he was on the shoulder in the middle of the highway alongside the barriers. It's guys like this that give us cyclists a bad name. If anyone knows who it is, I think we should take action against him. He was riding a Blue bike. I think the make was "Dairy Maid" as this was printed on the Blue box on the front of the 3-wheeler. It also had a blue umbrella (luckily closed in the wind). Not sure if he's a roadie or a mtb'er. Had thick tyres, but he was on the road. Was not wearing lycra but a blue overall. This has got to stop !!!!!!!!!
bikemonster Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I'll bet he was one of those damn' singlespeed freaks. Luddites the lot of them! The good lord* gave us gears, we should use them, dagnabbit! * The good lord being, of course, Tullio Campagnolo.
Cycling Addict Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Mate of mine saw him too and considered stopping to buy an ice cream - only in Africa

The Saint Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Saw a guy on the N3 / N12 split yesterday - can't remember what the interchange is called - flipping death wish is all I can say with all the road works going on there and that intersection is busy at the best of times. Oh and the cop car which was traveling behind me blissfully carried on as if there was never a cyclist on a National Highway.
RaymondC Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 What a Legend!! HOw much were those ice creams going for? BOOM
RudoJ Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I also saw a cyclist on the N14 towards Krugersdorp...about 3km;s before Muldersdrift.Why would they do that?
LeTurbo Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 When I saw "Cyclist on R21" I thought it might be an incredible new supplement I could try. Disappointed!
