  1. Gary Fisher and I felt brave and took the cycle lane through Paardeneiland to the city and back.More worried about getting a flat from all the glass and metal bits than being bikejacked.City cops on duty along the route.Had to stop at Espresso Bakery for a reward!!
  2. Happy Bicycle Day!!!
  3. Yoh another area where you have to be careful.Every Dick,Tom & Harry seem to have guns.Unlicensed of course. M....F...rs
  4. About 2 weeks ago 60 yr old cyclist was mugged on the cycle lane near the Paddocks shopping centre but fought back .Got his ph and bike back.On Tues at 6pm a lady was mugged on the Diepriver bridge between Paddocks and Sunset beach.Saw the regular commuter ladies going home at about the time yesterday and also riding alone Be careful out there
  5. Because of cable theft there are 2 sections along cycle lane to Tableview where there are no street lights.Between Sunset beach and near Dolphin beach and from Diepriver bridge till about 400m past Racecourse rd intersection.Saw runner and cyclists out training in the dark with no lights and commuters going home flat out.Goodluck to all commuters riding in the dark
  6. Once again went along cycle lane to see how the overnight cable theft was proceeding after 2 roadies had wheel damage there yesterday.As I passed the 1st diggings a movement in the trench caught my eye.True as f...there is the cable thief lying in the trench.I k..ed on him for dumping stones on the lane.He jumped out hid the spade and walked off,only to return as soon as I had left.This was at 6.45 am so I knew it would be shift change at SAPS and would get no joy there.What would you do?
  7. Short ride to Blaauwberg.Upset with all the trash next to cycle lane.Now we even have cable theft happening with gravel dumped on part of cycle.Lets do our part to keep our routes lekker
  8. This mess has been cleared up but this storm water drain is still a problem with stinking water which is regularly pumped into another stormwater drain.Scary that this drains into the Diepriver lagoon where I often see children swimming.
  9. Street art tour of Saltriver and Woodstock

  12. From FB . Around 11 am 5 guys with guns 100 m from Woodstock miciti- CBD side .Bike ( SWorks) spotted in Brooklyn.Taken phones ,bikes and bank cards.Normally a Metro cop car parked at that station.Normally worried between Woodstock and Paardeneiland.Prefer to ride there only during peak hours otherwise use FW De Klerk
  13. Looking after a house in Zonnebloem over xmas & new year.No commuting through Woodstock at 5am for me!

  15. Getting bike sandblasted on Tableview beachfront

  17. Mr Toyota white bakkie makes a habit of shouting ,swearing.Got my share a couple of Saturdays ago while 5 cyclists were crossing in single file,families stopping to regroup,cars coming from Blaauwberg wanting to enter ,cars exiting the complex and cars from Melkbos.He thought we should have yielded although he was 100 m away when we started to cross Next time I am going to apologize
