  1. 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 safety and security on the roads. I'm in the process of creating a WhatsApp group specifically for cyclists in and around Blouberg. The goal is to provide a platform for us to connect, coordinate, and ensure a safer journey for everyone. **Why a WhatsApp Group?** While I understand that WhatsApp groups can sometimes be overwhelming, I believe there is tremendous value in creating a space where we can look out for one another. This group will serve as a quick and efficient way for us to share our plans, coordinate rides, and, most importantly, increase our visibility on the road. **How Will It Work?** The idea is simple. Cyclists can post a message indicating the time they plan to head into town, their approximate location, and an estimate of the average speed they intend to ride. By doing this, we can form impromptu groups and ride together through the potentially risky areas. Once we pass the hotspot, we can choose to continue riding together or part ways. **Sticking Together for Safety** I understand that the presence of a group may not deter all potential threats, but there's strength in numbers. By sticking together, we can create a sense of unity and deterrence, making our rides not only enjoyable but safer. **How to Join:** If you're interested in being part of this safety-conscious cycling community, please drop a comment below or send me a direct message with your contact number, and I'll add you to the group. Let's come together, look out for one another, and ensure that we can continue enjoying the freedom of cycling without compromising our safety.
  2. Hi All I am looking for some riding buddies. Getting tired of riding on my own now as the wife stopped riding a while back in favour of trail running. There is safety in numbers, not only from bergies but from a crash standpoint. Some Criteria: Fun (pfft what is fun! must be stravasshole, KOMs matter, everything is a race I got to win it ) Will suffer the ride uphill to get to the fun stuff, i.e. I don't race up the hill but still, enjoy the climb and may or may not scream while riding downhill Beer and or Coffee I mostly ride Conties and Hoogekraal. Used to ride Tokai when I still lived close by and before the farking fire... But keen to head back out there and to start exploring stellenbosh, paarl, etc area (weekends) I hit the trails on a Tuesday(afternoon), Thursday(afternoon), Saturday(mornings) and sometimes on a Sunday So if you are interested post here and I'll PM my number. Regards George
  3. Hey all! Does anyone have ideas or is anyone doing a commute like this or suggestions on what route would be the safest? Below is 3 routes I have come up with, they differ slightly from the google maps but you should get the idea. Route 1: https://goo.gl/maps/uCj6YdevAh12 Route 2: https://goo.gl/maps/rUsJtf3Ujsq Route 3: Basically the same route as route 2 except i take the gravel road next to the M5 and the footbridge over the Swart river and pop put next to the river club. The morning will not be that big of an issue as will be leaving at 6am most mornings, it's the afternoons that concern me especially the crossing of koeberg interchange. I have driven the proposed part of going over koeberg interchange and there is a sidewalk with Traffic points-men stationed there for pedestrians to cross over the interchange where they have to come in contact with traffic.
