  1. This morning we saw a metallic red Mazda one tonner bakkie (Reg nr MRZ ...GP) with tinted windows with a bike rack on the back, parking at the pedestrian entrance to Hazeldean Farm on the Mooiplaas road in Pretoria East. Three individuals, not dressed as cyclists, got out and two went into Hazeldean farm along the road used by dozens of cyclists, on their way to Rosemary Hill. One of them stayed at the bakkie. The fact that these guys were very obviously not cyclists, wore jackets that can easily conceal weapons and the fact that they got out of the bakkie to walk into a field where cyclists normally cycle at that time of the morning, while the bakkie stayed behind seemed very suspicious to us. We carried on along the Mooiplaas road to avoid them, because neither of us were armed. Please be on the lookout for these guys because I am pretty sure that they are bike-jackers. If anyone sees the bakkie again, please see if we can get the complete registration number.
  2. At 07:10 this morning, was cycling northbound on the M4, near York Road, when a lone attacker pretended to cross the road, said "hello sir" and then exposed a small knife and stabbed me in the right side of my chest. I continued cycling for about 50m, turned into a side road and stopped. When the attacker saw that I had stopped, he sprinted towards me and I rode away from him. Alerted a local private security patroller a bit further up the road. Received medical attention at Constantiaberg Mediclinic emergency. 4 stitches, otherwise all OK.
