Grumps Posted January 7, 2013 Share I was coming down from the block house at about 2pm and 2 black men jumped out of a bush and kicked me off my bike. 1 guy choked me while the other got hold of my bike and phone. They threatened to kill me but I managed to get away after a struggle. Please guys be on the lookout for any suspicious looking guys wanting to sell a mountain bike its a Scott Scale 60 and its grey/black/white. And also be safe out there and be vigilant when cycling. Try to cycle in groups and not alone. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/125394-mugged-on-table-mountain-and-robbed-of-mountain-bike/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

grant10 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Bleak dude, really sorry to hear about that. How fast were you going? You could have been seriously hurt if you were flying? Where exactly did it happen?

Cippo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Glad you are ok. Please report it to the ranger station at Lions Head and the police. The mountain has been very busy with tourists and I would think most rangers are further up the trails.

Cippo Posted January 7, 2013 Share I have spoken to someone at Sanparks and they have been stretched thinly with all the activities on mountain. A report has to be lodged please with SAP and Sanparks so it is reflected on stats and identified as a hotspot. If its not reported its all heresay.

Polo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Aargh, just told someone last week that the tide is turning and there hasn't been an incident for a while. @Grumps, where exactly did they hide? I always feel uneasy going up there on my own, especially that first turn with the gate going towards Rhodes Memorial (i think).

Meezo Posted January 7, 2013 Share Hey, Meezo, That's your playground.Be safe and vigilant out there, man. Thanks man, I've been riding the mountain since i started riding MTB almost 2 years to be exact.... and to date have experience about 2-3 suspect looking guys.....Confronting them first with a "HOSH" or "AWE", seems to have worked thus far, but if more than one of them they'll take me out! Unless i KOM away!
