After some thought, i've come to the conclusion that something, anything must be done to address this ongoing suicidal insanity masquerading as commuting to work safely.
Friday monring at 7, i'll be leaving BP Beyers Naude for a clockwise rush hour lane split around the N1 / N3 around Joburg. It's partly memorial run, partly an attention seeking exercise aimed at those bikers who continue to use the emergency lane, as well as the cars who still don't clearly understand a damn thing.
I'm inviting everyone, although typically expecting none ... so great is the apathy. Think Bike just ignored my suggestion, preferring to whinge about how nice it would be to have a large corporate sponsorship. The irony flows like the rivers of babylon.
So, got 2 wheels? Come ride with. It's seriously overdue that someone does something ... and if i'm the only damn person left standing so be it. I'll do it alone ... as i've ridden that route alone for over 4 years now.
Why am i so damned bitter about this? So bitter about the BIKERS in SA? Despite all the effort i put in to just ... help keep guys safe, they don't want it. They don't want anything except a bottle and a throttle ...

Wish you luck with that.
But as long as there's at least one man of good heart remembering, it's got to be worth it.
Love,

Maybe you should instead ride alongside irresponsible road users long enough to hand them each a box of condoms.
Just a suggestion. :D
Dude ... you're good :D
peace ;-)
