Cippo Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Cippo, wrong thread.. That was Tokai. Fingers too quick. Maybe OP can start a new thread here. https://www.bikehub.co.za/f/62-tmb-mountain-safety/
Meezo Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I received a msg about the OP, he's buddy is/was a team member.I've ridden with him too...... the question remains where are these stolen bikes going!
VT2jp Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Pls give exact area of mugging - google earth etc. I think it a good idea to build a database of where these moegoes hide and attack their victims..

Like i said, it was round about this time last yea, the "argurst preping" days that these ***** know us cyclists are training for the Funride World Champs.

Sanparks need to be alerted and the need to send the horse patrols back Theres been a massive increase in car break ins on mountain this season. There's a bunch of guys even operating from a car and they hit several cars all at once.
DJR Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Bad news - these f****** must be caught somehow and soon.
megdobson Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 please inform officials. I regularly daily commute these mountains 75% alone.I havent seen a ranger on the mountain since a month after they started patrolling... Also it was last year round about this time muggins started picking up! i have also been up there a lot lately and have yet to see a ranger patrolling
Meezo Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 i have also been up there a lot lately and have yet to see a ranger patrolling They stopped since winter last year...... Magicshine mornings...!
eraser Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Glad you're okay (ish).. Will also inform Kandui
Sash Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 OK one place to stop cycling, between the road and being knocked off and the mountain and muggings. I think the Silvermine / Tokai side seem to be the safest bet for bikers - and there seems to be much more safety awareness and rangers. There was a group of people making progress on the Table Mountain side (hikers I think), it is such a shame that the "Natural Wonder" can not be enjoyed because of criminal elements but such as life. To be honest unruly dog owners have been a big deterrent to cycling that way anyway - much prefer the friendly baboons.
Caerus Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 I was discussing this very topic today with my wife when we were sitting on top Lions Head(my first time), hectic, sorry to hear about this. Will definitely need a guide/ buddy when I go. @Meezo, you seem to be the man in the know, fancy taking a CT newbie for a ride around the mountain sometime?

Anytime, I'm on table mountain almost everyday of week except Friday. Give me a shout. With regards where is safe to cycle.... that's hogwash, we take back the mountain because it belongs to us, being the rightful users of it. Not to mug/rape/steal/kill. These okes must just as try my morning commutes i often ride off chasing shadows, to find my bro and 2 sometimes 3 colleagues trailing will be very interesting to see what happens when these okes are outnumbered out muscled.
