gerritvn Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 This morning as I was riding my MTB near Dely Road (Pretoria) where it goes underneath the NI highway, I was attacked by two robbers. One grabbed me around the neck and pulled me from the bike and nearly strangled me. They demanded my cell phone and money and then also took the bike. Thank the Lord! Apart from the loss of the possessions and a sore throat, I was left unhurt. The bike is a black Specialized Epic with a Specialized front tyre and a Hutchinson back tyre with a gray wall. If you happen to notice such a bike, please call me at 012 8036501 or 073 6891370 Thanks! Gerrit (aka Oupa Gert)
veyron. Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Oh that sounds bad! Hope you get your bike back!! I know how you feel, its happened to me and the sprayed mace straight into my eyes! But luckily a driver saw this and got my bike back for me!
slowpoke Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Oom Gert, i hope your bike gets found, but i'm very glad that you are essentially unharmed.

Tumbleweed Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 sucks dude! know the feeling. least you're ok!
bobbie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 May their fingers turn into fish hooks and they get an itch in a private place... So sorry to hear about your incident..
Zoo Cookie Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Terrible sorry to hear of the misfortune. this is one of the reasons i'm stuck in a spinning studio during the week, and only getting on the bike on the weekends with lots of other people around.
Angel Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Oh, that's terrible. That is my biggest fear when I go out cycling, as I train on my own. Not to get knocked down by a car, but to get bike jacked and loose my bike.
Evan Andreou Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I can truly empathise with you, glad you're ok
Man with no name Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Same thing happened to me last year, just glad you're OK. All just the Lord's mercy that you're OK. Do what I did... get back on your bike... because you CAN

Strawberry Mama Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I know the bike is a loss, but at least a bike can be replaced, but your life not. God Bless!
