sometime Posted August 14, 2012 Share There are lots of messed up kids Look how full the courts and jails are.They did not fall out of trees but started as kids Kids don't just happen to have a green (no co-incidence that) rope with them when they're out playing, then take the time and effort to hang a large rock from it and then not hang around to see the "fruits" of their labour. As we all know kids are not good at delayed gratification - they want to watch and enjoy the havoc they cause (and probably record it on their phones). If a bike jacker is going to be bothered with a rock and a rope they would rather swing it at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted August 14, 2012 Share I hope it's not, that is a bit malicious and could cause some serious damage. Was it only the one rock Pieter ? Just regarding people and their dogs, and slate me all you all like. Had I been living around there and walked my dog there on a regular basis, I would have hated MTB's with every bone in my body. Some of the guys have zero respect for other people sharing the Spruit with them and often bear down on them without any intention of slowing down. Completely agree with you. I've had near head on collisions with several MTB'ers there who I would swear did not have brakes fitted to their bikes, full on suicide hold. No slowing down and no attempt to even shift a little off the path to allow us to pass each other, leaving me bundu bashing. Is it becoming a case of whoever is bigger wins? Definitely. I try to give dogs and walkers as much space as possible and often slow down to just above walking speed but most do not. Knowing that animals are unpredictable I'm stunned how arrogant some people are that they fly past large and small dogs with little more than 1 metre berth. Not only will they seriously injure the poor animal should they suddenly dash off into the path of the rider but an incident may conjure a culture of banning MTB from public parks should the dog walker feel strongly enough and put pressure on parks and recreation and local ward councillors.

sometime Posted August 14, 2012 Share How many incidents in the news with kids dropping rocks onto cars off highway bridges? There is a new breed of stupid... My point exactly - drop the rock, watch the outcome, run like hell, have a good laugh and you can repeat it many times a day with the desired outcome. Hanging rocks from trees takes time and there's no guarantee of getting the results you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayleyearth Posted August 14, 2012 Share I'll be riding there alone this afternoon around 16:30. I still think I'm safe there. As previously mentioned, it's pretty busy and busy areas are often your friend despite being annoying with people and animals getting in your way. How oftern do you go ride there? I might want to join one afternoon if you are willing to show me the routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossW Posted August 14, 2012 Share How oftern do you go ride there? I might want to join one afternoon if you are willing to show me the routes. I'm looking at riding on Tuesday's and Thursday's. Start at Delta Park (top) and then move my way over and up to Emmarentia. You're welcome to join. Just give me a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter1 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Found nothing today. I told all the guards I saw and they said that they would be on the lookout for these "traps" and people putting them up. DR ◣◢ and RossW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
