Cheki maneno: Southern bypass

Today having been sunny, I took my camera and went out for a bike tour down the southern bypass… Nice place to cycle.

When touring on a bike, you’ve got to make several stops to take photos or interact with the environment. Here is a flying pedestrian who was also taking a tour of the bypass

Most people on k-talk want to be anonymous lakini at times ni vipoa kujianika kama @Meria Mata. Here I am

Hey what sort of shrine are they constructing on the bypass? Seems to be lots of activity I bet its another sikh temple

Different modes of transport on this bypass…Guess how long I had to wait to take this photo?

After a lovely day in the sun…it remains critical that we re-fuel and stay healthy. @The.Black.Templar loves this kind of fuel

See you next weekend when I take on a different tour…

Great bike you have there, how many kms did you ride, love your glasses

There are three bikers this morning who were along the Thika-Mang’u road. These people need lessons on how to use the road. You can’t take a whole lane eti u must move together. Can’t they ride after one another to give motorists enough space to overtake them?

Was on my checki maneno on that rd today also, quite a bunch of guys were out there. Probably tulipitana ata, small world.

Cyclists do that for their own protection, your safer as a bunch riding in the middle of the lane. Motorists can share the other lanes

ahaaa! I saw you little niglet

Isn’t this more dangerous when vehicles have to risk head-on collision while overtaking

Ideally cyclists should ride in single file [ATTACH=full]57878[/ATTACH]

You own a bicycle too not a whole lane…

I would really like to see these rules

Cycling in Nrb is a death wish.

I envy you msee…

Awesome…putting up a post as well saa hii.

Kwanini mboss?

@Guru
When i used to ride every day i always carried a Somali dagger, hii ujinga ya Matatu anakukata mbele alafu anakanyanga brakes anadisrupt the rhythm ya bunch nilikua nadunga sidewalls za tire mbili, meria na group yake walikua sio watu wakuchezea, nimetoka githurai, Hekaya coming up in a few days

@Mkufuu shouldnt you ride with traffic lakini instead of against it?

Can always slow down…problem of single file is that you can get really pushed outside the road

I always ride with traffic… These are just photos and had to balance the bike vipoa on the road so that I can take photos. Sijui mbona imeface the wrong side.

My cyclocomputer was off…was just a fun ride maybe 30Kms not sure though.

The glasses are really cute. They are the Oakley Jawbreaker. They have a wide view you can hardly see the frames while cycling. these are similar to those used by Marc Cavendish

They are so stylish
