Cape Town Roadies - an observation

[Lucky Luke.]

The one way will remain in place till at least April 2011.

 

 

 

At the very least. Been a lot of 'unforseen delays' already.

htfu and go over boyes... (been waiting for an opportunity to use that internet abbr.)

Clearly certain cyclists seem to think that its ok to cycle down a one way, go through red robots and just have a general disregard for the law.

 

I cant believe some can say "we should try and obey the rules"

I don't think any of the cycling clubs or PPA would approve of this

 

Anyway enough said cause i cant convince those doing it that it irresponsible.

 

Safe cycling

 

Well that's just it - some find it safer to go the wrong way along main road than risk their lives riding boyes drive. I lived in the area for 8 years and know that the road surface is crap driving in a car let alone on a bicycle.

I live in Caape Town and can't defend 'em. I just hope everybody learns some mutual tolerance.

A harrowing experience down in the South of the Peninsula. Hectic story.

Well that's two minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Truly terrifying.

 

A brief summary:

They drank coffee.

The fuzz said don't ride down the one way.

They said ok.

Firm handshakes all round.

 

These boys in blue look like the local municipality fund raisers who gave me a fine for walking my dog on a lead on the catwalk outside of the regulated hours - this while guys are selling Tik in the beach huts. Keep up the good work guys!

 

Off to change my underpants now.

It will take quite a while to finish it.

 

The new road is not the primary reason for the construction taking place. The main work is to put new water, sewage, electricity etc piping into the ground to accommodate the growing suburbs. The only place to do that is underneath the road. So the new road is just the finishing off of the main job.

Truly terrifying.

 

 

 

Not really... What would be truly terrifying is , if Officer Cottee would throw a Javelin at you while cycling down the ONE WAY ... I think he was a WP javelin thrower at one stage..
