Caerus Posted August 2, 2011 Share Yes the story is running this Sunday.Just out of interest ,I agree with the stereotyping issues and such and such.Saying this, I do feel we need to become more vigilant in approaching these guys and ask them about their bikes.We had a little sting op on the R 55 in conjunction with the Colonel of our local police station.It 's amazing how many bikes are out there and how many were hand-me-downs, the bottom line however, the word in the township now is that one must think twice before you buy a fancy bike from a fellow townshipper. This is very important I think, seems that there has been a definite reduction in the high-jacking so word has to be spreading amoungst these low lifes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drongo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Yes the story is running this Sunday.Just out of interest ,I agree with the stereotyping issues and such and such.Saying this, I do feel we need to become more vigilant in approaching these guys and ask them about their bikes.We had a little sting op on the R 55 in conjunction with the Colonel of our local police station.It 's amazing how many bikes are out there and how many were hand-me-downs, the bottom line however, the word in the township now is that one must think twice before you buy a fancy bike from a fellow townshipper. Thank you sir! Just out of interest. There are about 4 locals in our area who ride to work on 'nice' bikes every day. By 'nice' bikes I mean hardtail, with suspension forks, and OEM groupsets. I have spoken to all but one. Many others ride on bikes that are quite obviously hand-me-downs (and some even likely stolen and resold along the way, no doubt). But the 3 gents on the 'new' bikes have all purchased theirs. The newest is a shiny red, white and black Boulder who's owner proudly told me how long he had saved for it. This when I stopped him to offer advice on raising his saddle so that his knees didn't pass his ears. Now we trade waves every time I pass him on the road. Passing once through the Marianhill toll I saw a guy standing with a "high end" hardtail Merida 0nine. I stopped, phoned Jason at Giba Gorge, above which he was standing, and then strolled over complimented him on his bike. Turned out he was a sponsored development rider, who commutes (with his bike) from Pmbg to Ptn every day by taxi and rides the distance between work/home and the rank. When I phoned Jason back, he knew the guy. All cool.We have had a number of bike-jackings at Giba. In this instance my reaction was based on vigilance, rather then "what in my mind" was a thieving low life. So my suggestions to the OP still apply. And whilst the OP's rant holds a bit of water, what if anything is being done about a WHITE/EUROPEAN/CALL-THE-COLOUR-WHAT-YOU-LIKE lowlife such as Neil from Neil's Wheels Capetown who is more than obviously dealing in stolen bikes? Or is it cool because he is of the above colour shade? Edited August 2, 2011 by The Drongo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
