Yes i know what you all going to say ride in a group, I was last guy off a group on the N1 this morning before woodstock bridge. I was mugged knocked off my bike before 6am. phone n stuff stolen . still got my bike thankfully
One guy on side of road I moved to middle lane next thing I felt a smack on the shoulder then was down on the road his buddy came ,made sure I was staying down kicking me hard , they went through my pockets took everything.
They have figured out when the police do shift changes and know when no one is watching , they run towards the railway lines. According to the police they steal for the Tanzanian people take it to the side road cell phone shops, clean the phone undo the lock ,change the network so they can use it in their county and ship them out
To other cyclists, Let me say one thing and listen when I say this they have no regard for your life, to them your life is worthless, you nothing to them all they want is what you have. Your life is nothing! If you fight back they get worse last week someone fought back and was stabbed and killed they, have no regard for your or our lives we are worth nothing to them!
They just want what we have. Sadly after this I have no respect for their race of people. For the elderly gentleman taking staff to work and stopping making sure I’m okay and to let me call my brother to fetch me, true gentleman also checked up later to see how I am
I was at the Woodstock police station to make report when another cyclist was there already, also being mugged from his stuff. Sadly but we can no longer get on our bicycle and ride and enjoy the sport we love. So at the Politicians’ and everyone they says we know about the area just avoid it , ride in groups NOT always that easy. Try ride past there yourself and see what happens. So when are you as people going to start doing something about it, because trust me when I say this, one day will come we will all have had enough and will take revenge ourselves
i am in lots of pain will need new cycling helmet ribs will heal nothing good old pain tablets cant sort out. so im off the bike for now
