  12. These okes are pure evil and I say that with all love and respect. It starts at 25k/hr. Then 30. Then 70. Then your nose starts bleeding. Then your lungs explode and your legs fall off. And that's a coffee ride for them.
  13. Hunt. So want to keep the wheel set. They did offer lightspeed. Or, if a more expensive option was selected, that I could pay the diff
  14. Ya. Thanks. I suppose it's a luck of the draw thing. Also I know bike stocks are limited. Thanks for input.
  15. Hello BikeHubbers. Recently had the need to make use of bike insurance. Role players are Discovery, Riders at Work and Carbon Bike Repair. Its been four weeks since bike went in. Delay seems to be the front rim - hunt - which had to be ordered from the UK. Is this a normal amount of time for a bike insurance repair/replace procedure?
  16. What other bike jacking/crimes are the 3 stooges possibly (or definitely) connected too?
  17. Great ending to a bad situation
  18. Historicaly there has always been a risk of getting mugged and/or knocked over. Now it seems cycling in the Lakeside area carries with it the additional risk of getting fondled!
  19. Modus sounds exactly like the attempted bikejackinfvi experience last Tues. From info gleaned from other homeless in the area the perps are from Parkwood.
  20. Splat... this at approximately 05h45. Still quite dark. I had front and rear lights. I believe this is what they look for.
  21. Morning Splat. It's a bit technical; it's right on the Kenilworth/Wynburg border. Just after Wetton Road intersection. Left hand side direction town. Four males walking away from me. No obvious body language. (If that's even possible) At last second one spun around, jumped and grabbed my handle bar. His pulling and my momentum caused me to fall hard on my right side. He tried to escape. Chain was off, handle bar bent. So he fell! Other 3 ran in diff directions. I tried to chase bike bike running in cycling shoes don't work! By this time he was freewheeling to cnr of Wetton rd. A vehicle with Woolies staff (all males) turen to give chase. According to them he must have realized it wasnt gonna happen, he threw the bike 1 way and ran the other way. The woolies guys returned the bike. And get this: Anwar the driver, collected me on his return trip and gave me a lift home!!! Surreal experience. I have been uneasy about that stretch for awhile.. Will definitely avoid it going forwards.
  22. Was just pulled of my bike main road Kenilworth. 4 youngsters. One grabbed my handle bars. I went down hard! Thief tried to ride away but chain was off. Luckily a vehicle with workers turned to give chase. Retrieved bike in Wetton and Main. Thief had run away. Bike messed up.
  23. I must have been smoking the herb of self righteous indignation and drinking from the cup of idealism. It happens when I hear about f=%k heads robbing people.
  24. Critical Mass! Meet at Steenburg and Main. Ride across the entire lane/s. Interrupt the taxi routes. Shut them down! Make SAPS take notice. Mass Protest Action. It's the SA way...
