motorist cutting cyclists off

[ecg15]

yesterday i cycled home from work on my mountain bike due to my road bike is in the hospital. I cycled my poep off due to the SOUTH EASTER we have here. So u could understand im not too in a happy state of mind.

 

cycling of constantia necki noticed that some IDIOTS actually try and cut me off by turning to and over the yellow line so that i have to go off road into the bushes. Some actually go so far as to wait till im next to them then suddenly swerve to the left and see if they can knock me.....

 

 

 

FREAKIN HELL PEOPLE

2) Young laaities, trying to be assholes.

or just people thinkin that they are funny

As racist as it may seem, I have learned to be extra careful of Indian men of all ages.  What the root cause is, I don't know.  All I know is that there seems to be an additional aggressive gene there in a small minority.  The aggressive behaviour is very similar to what you'd expect from pimply laaities that haven't grown up.

 

I am often cut off in traffic.  Most common is the left turning motorist - simple solution is to move to the middle of the lane and force the motorist to wait whether they are turning or not.  Next most common is the guy that will pass you and then close the gap just before the next traffic light.  Again solution is simple - just pass on the right.

yea but that calls for more aggression from them. I.E let knock them over and run away. Taxi's see how close they can get or see if they can clip u with their mirrors

[ecg15]

solution get a mother of a paint ball gun

What scares me most is the woman in their 4 X 4's with cellphone in one hand and a cigarette or make-up in the other hand.

 

Will rather take my chance with a Taxi. That front panel on that siyaya is only 0.0003mm thick.

Don't rarely have a problem with taxi's in general.  Usually more couteous than other drivers.

I agree, and even proved it to a few fellow cyclists.

I also have very few problems with taxi's and I go over the Koeberg interchange and through Maitland... I have changed my route to go through Paarden Island, as I have fewer incidents going through there, than having to face the boy racers/taxis/trucks/skedonke-combo on Koeberg road. Had a couple of close calls, but none were unmanageable.
