This just in from a 2oceansviber who tells a harrowing account of bad cyclist behaviour. Again, more evidence that there is a small minority who are ruining it for the other cyclists out there. Those who aren’t tools.

Good day Seth

Thanks for the car kit- I collected mine last week in Durban!

Attached is a pic of a cheeky little prawn spotted in Ballito last weekend with some sort of creative ‘doek’ on its mellon. I can’t decide if this is worse than a helmet or a head of sweaty hair?!

Have you seen something like this before? Is it a form of hybrid, possibly a mutation, or worse yet – are they evolving before our eyes?

What is certain is their arrogant and cocky demeanor, lounging about, dripping sweat, talking loudly, proudly proclaiming to fellow prawns at other tables “…ag boet no, just a quick one this morning ahh, took us like 2 hours to durbs and back ay boet.”

So callous they have become, these ones didn’t as much as wince whilst being photographed.

I am very disturbed. And concerned.

Your input and opinion would be much valued.

Kind Regards

Mitch

You know, Mitch, I know there is this stigma out there that “Seth Rotherham has the answer to everything,” and I’ll be the first to tell you that that the phrase is not far off. EXCEPT when it comes to cyclists, I’m afraid.

So as much as I want to tell you why they came to be this way and what their purpose is, I can’t. No-one can.

Best advised to avoid interaction.

But continue to monitor.

Report back.
