Checki Maneno: Sad News

[Energizer]

[ATTACH=full]70259[/ATTACH] Shida ni madharau ndogo ndogo. Most people driving always think that cheki maneno guys are lesser beings.
I used to do my cheki maneno while living in Kilifi. At least huko kulikuwa na bara bara hazina magari mob. Kuhamia Mombasa ilibidi nimelenga. Hao madere wa matatu hu behave ni kama bara bara ni yao peke yao.

Checki Maneno incidences have had with the above:
Jamaa wa boda alinigonga kwa roundabout na akatoroka (clearly traffic rules ni hekaya kwake)
A lady driver alifungua mlango in traffic na mimi huyo nikaenda kama nimeingia kwa hio mlango, and she had the guts kuniambia nilipe.
Mjamaa wa Probox anapigana na mimi for that white line iko kando ya barabara, almost drove me out of the road. Na wao hupenda sana kuhoot.
Matatu drivers, 44, 45, Kenya Mpya na Rongai take the crown jewel on this, they drive soooo damn close to you halafu wanahoot na hizo modified and absurdly loud shrills wakiwa nyuma yako

Last weekend there’s a friend who was getting boxed out by some probox with the driver screaming profanities. Cyclist got ahead of the driver akablock njia na baiskeli almost resulted in a fight.
There is very little a cyclist can do against a bodaboda those guys are hardened crooks…just stay out of their way if you can but most of the time they are the ones poking your eye.

It happens, lakini mkiwa wengi mnaweza funza adabu. Sometime back a mat in Kiambu ilisimama about 5 M mbele ya peloton kuchukua abiria for 20bob and 4 guys rammed into it head on. Tulichukua key za gari na faceplate ya radio tukazitupa kwa kichaka na tukachukua zile pesa makanga alikuwa nazo za kutengeneza bike zilikuwa zimecrash. They deserved it.

A lady driver alifungua mlango in traffic na mimi huyo nikaenda kama nimeingia …

Hehe … hii hata mimi ningekusho ulipe. Hakufungua mlango ndo uingie ndani ya gari yake;)

Hehe lakini unafunguaje mlango kwa traffic halafu hata huangalii sidemirror if there’s any thing coming from behind. Mlango ilibend

I had thought that that you never experienced all this . It’s dangerous to be cyclist in Kenya .

Hiyo ni temporary. Plus kama wataka kukeep fit, hapa ndio watu wanacurse, very vigorous workouts. You can opt for amateur, or normal competition or just for working out.

I had my first amateur fight last month tononoka grounds with one gsu officer. Niliumwa for 2wks. Nilienda kufight kama amenimangia bibi, and i got a beating. But sahii imekuwa kama other games, no hard feelings just punches.

But am still thinking about joining meria mata for cheki maneno soon.

Mangumi kwa uso na mbavu, hapana. Some screws will come off kichwa iruke

You guys just confirmed my fears. Many a times when i have seen matatus hoot or pass recklessly past a cyclist and from the look at it, i don’t wanna get disabled or dead.

I think for anyone who has ventured outside cycling kwa estate has been bullied in one way or another but in the same breath there are some cool motorists, one shielded me from being bullied na mat za Rongai for quite a distance and another lit my way home by staying behind me and lighting the road ahead with the headlights

I stopped cycling 12 years ago, after a near miss by a lorry ferrying stones in that slope in Kiamumbi on your way to Kahawa west. I just admire the diehards cyclists.

Watu wa bikes mtulie, lami achia gari, bike enda endesha kwa interior otherwise you’ll become a statistic na tukusahau after a few days

Watu wa cheki maneno I invite you for practice session from Kuanzia Donholm roundabout, Jogoo Road yote, Landhies Road mwisho Tao

What mathree za Buru, Embassava, za Umoja and the worst of them all Forward Travelers will do to you mtawachana na baiskeli.

Kama mimi na Premio yangu naogopa Forward Travelers, wewe utawezana nao?

Nowadays I do my cheki maneno kwa milima za Ngong and kibiku and the occasionall out of town weekend rides. Used to cycle to work from dagoretti KONA to Hurlingham but stopped after kurushwa kwa trench by an overlapping mat
