Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Hi Folks. First of all, i am not part of this business. However i do train regularly with these guys. In my dealings with them, i have chatted about the recent spate of bikejackings taking place in RSA. My main Instructor, Heinrich, has developed a cycling safety device. I believe patents are pending. The shipment has just arrived and pre orders are taking place. I am creating a thread about it not for personal commercial reasons, but rather i feel it is a great idea for cyclists. It is a expandable baton and pepper spray system. http://www.golanipro...tection-system/ If ADMIN/MODS feel it is spam, i apologise, and will remove. Edited August 28, 2013 by Wayne Potgieter
Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Oh, Forgot to mention, a weapon without the correct training is useless. Heinrich will offer a free training lesson with each unit purchased so you learn to use them properly. For those that live in the bundus, there is a DVD included.
Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 .45ACP or 9mm ? Ha ha, not quite. Although what this man has tought me to do with my glock 9mm is truly amazing. johannrissik 1

Pants Boy Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 pretoria and Capetpwn as well. I think.Aag nee dan gaan ek weer gemoer word That hasn't happened in a while though, so maybe it's time.
Guest DieBees Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 How is this solving any problems? Is this changing the criminals' minds about crime? Its a good initiative, but if it is not raising any awareness or PREVENTING crime it is making the problem worse. If this nice piece of equipment is turned on its owner I foresee problems. Further to this, if you retaliate against a possible hijacking, you have something coming your way... Sorry Wayne, not bashing you, just sharing my thoughts...
Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 I get u. But personally I would rather be empowered than helpless. It's a personal choice. johannrissik and ChUkKy 2
FCH Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Some very valid points Bees, but honestly does anyone in SA need more awareness of crime being out of control? Wayne did add that not knowing what you are doing with a weapon is at best pointless and at worst as you point out dangerous. If I had proper training in using said gear, you probably need to make a educated call if its a smug little s**t that see's spandex as a soft target or a proper gangster, if its the smug one, count me in for Golani-ing him properly.

Skylark Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Rather have some kind of arms on me, I'd not want a gun but the batons and pepper spray are perfect. Just wait till you find self trapped by criminals on some lonely trail or alley, you'll wish with all your heart you had some kind of weapon other than your fists to fight back with. Criminals prey on the vulnerable, you have to make your self as prickly as possible to encourage them to rather walk on. Not sure how the baton works, it's telescopic - those gravity flick out ones?Must be a really *** one if the whole set costs R500, the smallest decent ones start at around R900.

Wyatt Earp Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Man must become a weapon and then carry an extra weapon
Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Must be a really *** one if the whole set costs R500, the smallest decent ones start at around R900. I have seen a prototype. Looks good. May I suggest viewing it before making such assumptions? ChUkKy and Andrew Steer 2
Wayne Potgieter Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Man must become a weapon and then carry an extra weapon very true. You know my view on this. A weapon in the untrained hand is dangerous. For you. Wyatt Earp and ChUkKy 2
