[ST] Toy run -was the Russian for carnage.



Once a year in December we do a toy run here, in most of the big cities. The Cape Town one attracted 7 000 bikers in all shapes and sizes last year.

We all meet at the Ottery Hypermarket, then do a procession of about 15kms to the Maynardville community center, where we toss all the toys into the back of big bins, which then go to orphanages for Christmas presents( The high rate of HIV in our poorer communities here makes for a lot of orphaned kids).

There are live bands, bike shows and it ends up a big party.

The last one I did was intense, it is tricky riding in such big groups - the domino effect could happen easily. In 2003 our fine law enforcement officers cooperated by installing backward facing speed cameras along the route, and made a fortune out of us, how's that for supporting a good cause!
