then i break it all the time ... define 'sidewalk' ... there's remnants of a cycle path that i use on my commute ... if you look closely, you'll see the stripes that separated the lanes. nowadays people walk on it; would that make it a sidewalk, then?

 

i guess it's still cheaper to pay the R50 fine than to end up in hosptial, ssme as when i look in my rear-view mirror first before stopping at an orange light ... the R1000 fine is cheaper than damage if taxi behind me crash into me

 

no worries cat, cyclists only got fined pre 1994, I still remember getting my first ticket at age 6 jumpin a red light with my BMX, accompanied by a moerse hiding but hell was worth it none the less.

who stock bells?

 

rc used to stock a whole range of them, nothing now - that's why i still ride with a dented one :(

 

and 2 years ago when i piloted a blind tandem for argus, we searched all over for a bell (to use as signal for mor power now, or back down) - nothing at cycleshops 2 weeks before argus, and at the whole expo, not one bell for sale.

Linden Cycles have some nice kiddies "squeakers" shaped like kitties, teddies and so on...

 

On a serious note, they have the nicest bells I have ever found - from Cateye! I only saw them once and bought two.

Never mind the reflectors and bell. No more wheelies, bunnie hops, truck drafting, sidewalk fun, no hands, and not to mention yielding at red lights!

Not to mention the fast stretch on the R59 from R550 to Vanderbijlpark!

No more fun!

Here is my crime:

 

Failed to be seated astride

on the saddle of a pedal

cycle when he or she was

riding a pedal cycle

 

Sometimes I stand up and pedal and sometimes and I stand up and go down hills...

May the 26'ers gang have mercy upon me...

Id love to see how they enforce this, they cannot even enforce the basics of day to day traffic.

had some cops pretend to pull us over on sunday in a roadblock. but they were just joking and told us the speed limit was 60 and we'd better speed up. :)

I'm a lawbreaker.

I don't have a white retroreflector on the front of my pedalcycle, nor do I have reflectors on my spokes.

I do not keep both wheels in contact with the road at al times (I try and wheelie every now and again)

I often ride with no hands on the handlebars.

 

With regards to red traffic lights, I do not wish to comment as I may incriminate myself.
