Ok thanks for the info hope I bump into you on the ride

Hizit guys I’m in a place called louvain anybody ridden in the area ? Any nice trails ? Anything to watch out for ?

Well that’s just what it’ll take to get my bike because if he doesn’t I will not leave him the use of his legs . ……..and that’s a fact!!!!

Firstly it’s not a fact . There are a few scenarios that will determine the outcome of one individual attacking another Many factors come into play too many to mention but in certain cases with certain people who have a certain mindset and certain skills it would be best to avoid trying to take that specific persons bike . And I’ve peppered sprayed more than one person before so if I see an opportunity to to fight back it’s going to happen

Thank you for that I’ll defiantly check that out

Wow ok thanks for that I did notice some big rocks yesterday on the road that weren’t there last week I think it’s cause of the rain . that was actually my main concern was getting taken out by a boulder . So yesterday I became a member of Helivac . You pay like R130 a month for your family and download an app that can be used as a panic button . Then they locate you and send whatever vehicle or means to get you out of there . So at least now if I get hit by a boulder or washed down the mountain and I’m alive to push the button on my hopefully not mangled or drowned phone I can get help 😂

I carry pepper spray tucked under my bib on the right side of my leg not just for attackers but baboons trying to steal a bananna or a crazy dog (which I have sprayed before ) in my back pocket. I’d never jeopardise over life over money I’d gladly hand over my bike to a guy carrying a gun or 2 or more attackers………..but if it’s one guy on his own without a gun Mabey a knife and I feel the I got a very good chance I’ll make sure he will never ever be able to try that again …… ever!

Hi I’ve been riding on my own for 7 months now moved to Newlands from Jhb and thinking to start training for the epic . I’d like to also try find a group to ride with if possible yesterday I was in Tokai on my ace and at times I do feel uneasy being alone

Ok great thanks for the info. I’m going to aim for tokai and kistenbosch and remember not to wave to locals 😂

Hi im moving to Capetown on the 1st of January from jhb to newlands and I don’t know where to mountain bike. I got no riding partners who can point me in the right direction I don’t know if there are safety concerns I need to know about I’m completely clueless and I need to get started asap cause I’m thinking to do my first sani2c . Any advice will be a blessing
