MTB Safety in Cape town?

Hi,

 

How safe is it to cycle at places like Tokai, Majik forest, Cottermanskloof? Any incidents of high jackings or robberies?

 

Regards,

Been some attacks at Majik a while ago.

Havent heard of anything at tokai.

 

Contermans would require a fairly dedicated criminal ;-)

Majik has been sorted. No reports for a good couple of months now. Have'nt been riding there myself, but I see they fenced the top section (between Shopping Complex and Dam) Dunno if all of it is being fenced or not.

Not sure about the others, but Tokai is as safe as houses ... lots of women ride there alone.

Anywhere you have to pay or go throug a controlled access point is safe (Tokai, Silvermine, Meerendal, Contermanskloof, Hillcrest). Where access is open, free and there is no control, limited muggings have occurred and it is advised to ride in a group (Rhodes Memorial to City Bowl, Majic Forest?).
