    Last week I had a chat to some random okes at Blackhill and i heard rumors about riders taking precaution by arming themselves for rides. It seems people are gatvol of being targeted. So how many people actually do this?

    Hi There This morning I cycled the Engen Classic loop in Randburg, the loop the most of the jozy guys do in the mornings. So, this guy was standing in the middle of the road, trying to make me stop by showing his reflective vest underneath his jacket. I managed to get around him but should have...

    OK so Sunday was just absolutely beautiful weather in Stellenbosch, so I decided to take a morning ride out to Betties. This most scenic route past Rooiels is awe inspiring. I've cycled here for many years, and it always takes my breath away. So there I was, enjoying the ride, when out of nowhe...

    With the growing epidemic of bike-jackings and assaults on cyclist the consensus seems to be to ride in groups to deter these happenings. Other than the hub and friends how does one know of rides in your particular area? I have been looking into some social event sharing apps like Meetup or Join...

    So I've been reading week after week about cyclists getting attacked on the road and on the trail, and while its not always feasible, it seems the best thing is to ride in larger groups. Some people carry pepper spray and I was thinking about doing the same, but before I go out and buy a can, can...

    Hi, I am looking out for riders that want to meet at the Lower Gate of Rhodes Memorial and go for a quickish ride over Plum Pudding, either way. The idea is to ride as a group sometime between 12:30 and 13:30 for safety reasons and for riding in the light of day. Thanks Phill

    I'm a cyclist who joined this site with a confession to make. I run red robots. Not just at night, not just when I'm in a hurry, but as a matter of course. Today a friend cycling behind me commented at how upset a carful of people got when I crossed halfway across Buitengracht over a red (as if I...

I used to ride my bike around my neighbourhood before as a kid in Bloemfontein, but now that I have a trail-ready hardtail MTB as an adult living overseas, I wanna start going out to bike trails but I...

    CCTV Camera Advice

    M L posted a topic in Chit chat

    So I'm looking into the next step ITO a CCTV setup. I started out with a R1,400 odd rand Wifi camera (TP Link). It's convenient in that it connects to the router - but it's detection/AI system is horrible - any cat or wind triggers it's motion detection, making unusable. It's 2022 so I'm...

    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....

    Hey Hubbers! Recently, we've become increasingly concerned about the spike in muggings and violence, particularly along the N1 section that many of us use to get to town, Camps, Hout Bay, and southern suburbs. After some thought, I would like to try a proactive step towards enhancing our...
