Yeah, only in Mordor

Does anyone have any figures of stolen/ hi-jacked bikes? I'm not talking Game specials here, but they also can't be excluded.

I would love to say yes, I just don't have the time to commit unfortunately. . I'm more then willing to help in any other capacity though

Nice, you will be happy, and if need be you can always upgrade bits as you go.

For sure, but very plausable at the same time. When I was in the UK, we had the contract to replace all the glass in bus stops with polycarbonate plastic. Th glass only got replaced with polycarb after it had been smashed up three or more times(this used to drive me nuts, cause there was constantly glass on the road from Yobs breaking them up and me being a commuter) So, after much inverstigation by my boss at the time, we found out that the company that was contracted to replace the glass was paying and sending out these said yobs to smash up bus stops so as to get as much work & business as possible. They were eventually caught out by the greed, no matter how careful you are, it's what will catch you out eventually.

I think you hit on a very good point here

I'm trying, im trying. Already got a friend on mine involved, and now making plans to come up Look out Jozi TNT1 said he will put me up for a few days

Bit off topic, but how is your mate doing that owns the shop?

What about organising rides for the rest of the country? Just seems to be a Jozi initiative at the moment, we all wanna get involved

You have nice mates

If you have been following whats actually going on in all the various threads, and read more into this, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that they do already have a Private Investigator on the case. He don't work for free unfortunatly.

So please let us know how YOU would have done differently from your armchair? That way the next time there is something you will have contributed instead of just complaining.

I think it's definitely taking an effect already. There have been no reports of any jackings over the last three weeks or so.

That also applies to a lot of cyclists, have had to explain to a good few cyclists about being aware and vigilant, and the possibility of a potential high-jacking

The day this start happening is the day I go to Oz, lets hope it never does. Not sure how many gangsters sit down to watch Carte Blanche on Sunday evenings Maybe just the kingpins, they are the ******* you wanna catch. Maybe a national ride to highlight the Bicycle Safety campaign?

I didn't realise that they did that "roadblock" that was a surprise, how did the people stopped take to be stopped and questioned?

That won't always happen or be possible, I for one ride alone often. I refuse to feel intimidated. I think that the segment was good, you can only report so much in a short space of time, you also don't wanna give the entire game away. As others have also said, it sound like this is only happening in Jozi.

Really?

Bwah ha ha, you take the cake Dirty old man

Yeah, it just reminded me of what you said about your wife being 9 when you were 18, there is a scene in the movie when the guys phones his wife when she is 9 and craps all over her about never cheating in the future. I have an 8 year difference, cause of the movie set in the 80's somethings I had to explain as she wasnt born yet, I fot her to listen "give me hope Joanna" by eddie Grant, she pissed herself laughing
