Right2Ride

Roads in our country are sadly becoming more and more dangerous to cycle on.
Subsequently it has become a issue we can’t just turn our backs on or plead ignorance.

A newly formed cycling organization called the Right2Ride is on the cycling landscape.
The main function of this organization will be to protect the rights of cyclist on the road.

On the 4th of July I was pleased to support the official launch of Right2Ride at Valverde Guesthouse in Muldersdrift.

About 80 cyclists were invited to join in on the occasion which included a group ride around the cradle of humankind followed with breakfast at the Guesthouse.

Before departing on the ride, every rider was given an armband to wear and stickers to put on their bikes containing the Right2Right emblem. We rode ordinarily in pairs of two behind one another to be an example to all cyclists on the road and also to show respect towards motorists. Hopefully through sending out this message, mutual respect will be gained between cyclist and motorist, thus creating a safer environment for everyone to live in.

This initiative is formed by Nic White (who is currently riding for team Medsceme) and I hope all of you guys will do your best to support it in order to make more people and motorist aware of ‘us’ also being on the road.
