Reading this event last night, I scrapped my Wed solo mtn bike commute from S.suburbs to Cape Town via Rhodes and Devils peak - often very quiet in the mornings. Very thankful you are not hurt, but truly gutted about the conditions in which we try survive on our bikes. A few of us are using the Unitehood app - crowdsourcing for safety app. Pretty useless like all other weapons with a gun or knife in your face, but it does allow other users to shout out for you without putting themselves in danger. That being said - probably best if I find some other commuters heading over the mountain on Mon and Wed - if there are any groups I could join (or set up), please let me know - I don't want to give up my commute.
