What the hell is happening with these eastern chaps and thier bicycles
Ya what is happening in Eastern Province. Is it because of that useless Bicycle plant they had? Isn’t this the province where they impounded bicycles for traffic violations? Or is it the rats bred on GM junk food that my cousin are feasting on? Come on Easterners bicycles are safe. What is going on?
For safety reasons it is advisable for cyclists to be wearing helmets to protect them from head injuries in case of an accident. I worked in eastern provice for 14 years and have witnessed fatal bicycle accidents. Prevention is better than cure.
#1, the same thing that’s happening to people in the rest of the world who don’t take caution on the roads.
I developed nations that I know, you can’t ride a bicycle without a helmet.Bicycles should also have lights if they are to be cycled in the dark.Government should impose restrictive laws
They must have been trying to run over the same rat.
# 1 an accident can happen anywhere. Last year a man died in Chisamba after being involved in a head on bicycle collision. It is not about the plant in the eastern or the pipo in the eastern. feel sori for the one that has to be taken to a big hospital due to injuries than you asking why? you are so inhuman…your name
#1 is right,those Tumbuka chaps are blind. How did they fail to see each other in a place that has 0.1 traffic density.It must be a case of drunken riding or rat chase.Vi Kachasu.
Xcut#8 kolwe iwe you are such a lumpen do not be a tribalist you are the pipo that cause civil war. have you been to Lundazi? do u know of any developments there. stop yapping and visit the area. I am there 4 times a year.
Things are so rotten in Zed that citizens get seriously injured from riding biycles!! Shows how bad the economy is facing the vast majority of our citizens.
No nid to attack each other,just help the Tumbu’s to know the road safety, cause if they come to the city,all cyclist there will perish.Quick recoverly to the most injured Teacher.
Zanbia need to improve it’s road and Safety Policies. May DUI was the many factor. I feel sorry to the gentleman and his family, i’m wishing him a quick recoverly from the hospital.
