Hi All, sorry to say that in South Africa there are only awareness campaigns (See
http://www.pedalpower.co.za) who use the tagline "Cyclists stay alive at 1.5". Fortunatley I've never been hit but stories of cyclists being taken out are all to common
In addition the traffic enforcement is pathetic (I'm being polite) (with the possible exception of Cape Town, SA's most bike friendly city). What makes things worse there is a faction of motorists who not only try to see how close they can get, actually cut off cyclists and assault them after the resulting crash.
Makes you wonder why I'm considering emigrating to the UK....
