I though so to traveling between Midrand and Sandton. The problem is the strings of taxis coming up from behind you, hooting and pushing past you while you are riding your mtb on the dirt off the road. Cannot avoid riding on the road between some sections on my commute to work and back, where everyone drives in the yellow lane, no place "off the road" to cycle on some of these sections to avoid this. I also don't want to ride some of the trails through some wooded sections alone with a laptop on my back and in case I get bike jacked, it's a bit to far from the road and I don't feel comfortable doing this, some spots will be easy to set up a surprise trap to bike jack a person alone on their bicycle, especially if you travel the route regularly (changing routes every day is not an option, to big of a detour and less safe even), I'm not going to take any chances.
