Bike-Jacking yesterday on Harties Road

[RABUBI]

I heard there was a jacking there yesterday, anyone have more info?

[amoryns]

where exactly?

[Scalpel]

On the N4 tollroad to Harties. This will be the old toll road that goes nowhere!! Past Atteridgeville.

Twitter feeds said the following:

Cyclist shot and robbed on N4 near toll gate in Pta West. Frightening. It appears a gang is targeting cyclists

Thats bad news but it is illegal to be on that highway with a bicycle in any case hope cyclists learn from this

[Spinnekop]

Sharkie......sorry boet....so if someone does something illegal they should get shot at and their good stolen?

mmmm.....gives me a couple of ideas there.

 

Only thing as a cyclist that I have learnt is to start carrying a gun on my rides.

I actually expected this response, nowhere did I say the said person got what he deserved and that was to be shot. There have been numerous incidents on that highway with attempted high jackings and some that were high jacked in the last year, its the same if you cycle past Diepsloot on the road that runs next to the highway which links to the R55 its a gamble you are taking

Shucks, heard stories of things like that happening on that road. I actually have friends who train on that strecth for The Argus. Hope all is ok.

That's a very nice road train on and though it's highway,there is very little traffic on tha road and is it a pleasure to ride. Pitty about how the scimbags and rubbish of this country always find something good like this and turn it into profit for them......shoot the mothers...dead,that's my humble opinion on this.
