Avoid the area... that's going to stop those guys from being criminals? No they will just move somewhere else and create a new "hotspot"🙄🤬

They will tell you that they are doing something about it... like stationing law enforcement officers on the bridge (there were two standing there yesterday morning when I drove over the bridge at about 8:30am).... but you know they can't do anything at shift change times or outside of business hours 🤷‍♂️ It's a bit of window dressing but absolutely nothing strategic or permanent about finding a solution to a serious problem. The criminals just sit and watch and wait for their time to carry on as usual. It's an insult really😤

Here is an option. Banhoek_.gpx

You say someone was stabbed and killed last week.... and we still aren't yet at the point of having had enough?😭 We have had enough! P.S. The shift change excuse makes my blood boil!

What if one is a member of the Royal Cape (Cycling) Yacht Club?🤔

At what point do we resort to the taxi's tactics of blocking the N1 to get the attention of the authorities? Law enforcement resources are too busy handing out fines to people with dogs off leash on the Sea Point promenade🙄 This is ridiculous, can only imagine how commuters who have no alternative must feel.

https://www.treadmtb.co.za/a-new-strategy-to-help-combat-bike-theft/ the TLDR: How Cyclists and Bike Shops Can Get Involved Cyclists can join the fight against bike theft by registering their bikes with 529 Garage. The process is quick, free, and simple. All you need is your bike’s serial number, usually located on the underside of the frame. By registering, you are not only protecting your own bike but also contributing to a global network working to deter theft and recover stolen bikes. Bike shops play a crucial role in this mission by enabling the 529 Garage feature in Hubtiger’s software. When activated, bike serial numbers entered during servicing are automatically checked against Project 529’s database, making it easier to reunite stolen bikes with their rightful owners. Through the combined efforts of cyclists, bike shops, and the partnership between 529 Garage and Hubtiger, the fight against bike theft is gaining momentum, helping to recover stolen bikes and build safer, stronger communities one registration at a time.

They seem to answer emails only once a week and a different person each time. I've just sent my device in, they said 10 working days from when they receive it for the assessment. The experience so far doesn't have me oozing optimism🤞

This is a different route (360km). The article talks about a new 200km route. I emailed Pieter at Trails End and he said he plans to do the route in December to map it out.

No map or gpx? 🤨🤦‍♂️

Speak to Nils at Woodstock Cycleworks, he can definitely do it.

That droewors at the waterpoint is why I do this race!😂

Despite the fact that there is a sign that says pedestrians aren't allowed on that stretch, I don't have a problem with people running along there (I do it to very occasionally). However if you are running two or three abreast forcing riders into the traffic lane, you're a C#*T! There is space for everyone, runners/cyclists/cars, if everyone would just be lekker!

Speak to Cyclesure for a quote. You can insure the bike for an agreed value (if the bike is more than 3 years old) rather than replacement value, but be aware that the value is applicable in a case of total loss (eg theft), but the value will be broken down per component for partial loss (eg bike value R20k, limit will be R8k for frame, R2k Fork, R4k wheels, R6k rest of the components).
