lloydkayak Posted October 22, 2012 Share Yo Steff Just accept the wind, In the morning it sucks and in the evening it is a blessing. Cant you get something to fit it to your bike at all. Like those little feeding bags the Triathletes strap to there top tube? Haha... its the exact opposite for me, going back to the Southern Burbs up Main road is good endurance training!

bclark Posted October 22, 2012 Share This is great news. Thank you all, that emailed etc, and applied pressure where necessary. If possible, if someone sees the fence broken ( or anything out of place really) or lack of visible policing, to please try and reapply pressure on the city. Again, thank you all.

Eddy Gordo Posted October 25, 2012 Share ...ok, after todays incident, and still feeling very annoyed, relieved and time to reflect.All i want to say is becareful how you use the pepper spray, it can do some serious damage to the perp. Hopefully not permanent, isprayed the guy on the chest, dont spray someone in the face this is dangerous and can turn very bad.

LeTurbo Posted October 25, 2012 Share I'd check on the legality of the pepper spray ... if all's OK, report those cops to the Independent Police Protectorate, or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesme Posted October 25, 2012 Share I'd inform Zille, At least someone at the station in the end had enough brain cells to realise just leave. G right, I did not want to start a new topic as pepper spray has been discussed here. 2 to 3 hours ago I used pepper spray on someone who was interfering with me as I came out of the bank and got into the car. He even grabbed my window after he walked pass and came back. I asked him a number of times to leave and this oke was persistant. Anyways, after a long story. The cops came wanted to arrest me. Now firstly all 8 cops were black the perp was from zimbabwe. He told them so many diff stories, and all they wanted to do was arrest me. Then the perp wanted to beat me up infront of the police. After about the third time, I removed my specs to defend myself as the police were not interested in my side. They helped the guy which is great as pepper spray is well an insane tool to use. The guys from woodstock improvement district security and the police guys that accompany them are a bunch of wankers to put it less than mildly. They wanted be to pay the guy off, are they mad!! then to top it off we end up at the police station after 2 hours of a scene on the street, and them wanting to incite a riot because I sprayed this dude. It was crazy!!!! Non the less I dont know who it was that we spoke to at the police station but he basically told everyone to get lost. So be careful how you guys use the spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted October 25, 2012 Share Well, I did realise afterwards that I should have driven away. I also should not have admitted to the police that it was me as they didnt know who it was. The other part of the story is that while all of this was happening there was some dude there that was also a police man or somthing. He wasnt very happy with these guys, he took their names etc. So I will leave it to them to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted October 25, 2012 Share B.T.W. Seeing as you have "tested" the product, give us feedback please.What product, how did it perform, etc? The product I used was the pepper spray from cape union mart, uzzi pepper spray. I sprayed the guy on the chest, and it knocked him flat almost immediately. It sprays a jet stream of red spray. The police had a neutralizer, but this wasnt very effective. Someone from the shops gave a 10 litre bucket of water and this oke was washing his face for at least a half hour.
