Paulst12 Posted September 9, 2013 Share I believe a mtb rider was assaulted by another rider today on the Spruit at the bridge near Parkmore. As the guy crossed it, a female cyclist from the other side coming toward him hit him as he passed her. He turned to ask her what the problem was when her boyfriend assaulted the guy presumably from behind. Details are pretty sketchy, but I believe the guy doing the assaulting had tattoo's on his arm.... anyone else know what happened and who was involoved?

Paulst12 Posted September 9, 2013 Share I believe the guy assaulted was in pretty bad nick. Nothing like a little right hook from behind to start the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His side, their side and what really happened...........My guess is she bumped him(probably by accident), he swore or had something to say that her male companion didn't like and words were exchanged, following which the male companion biffed him one.

rattlesnake Posted September 9, 2013 Share And that is precisely the problem with the spruit.Too many highly strung, mountain bike wannabe's bashing their way through a multi directional trail the same way they drive their BMW's at 120km/hr in residential areas. ..... as if worrying about getting jacked wasn't bad enough.In my experience, ratio of cool friendly mountain bikers to knobs on the spruit..... about 1:10. slowpoke, lone one, StevieL and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said something similar last week on another Spruit post, and got slammed for it. Was told how great the place is and i don't know anything and that the spruit is a better place to be with one less rider(me) on it...........I would rather go do a spinning class than ride the polluted/over squatted/faeces infested spruit with punchy and his mates.

Joffter Posted September 9, 2013 Share Theres having words...Then there's assault... You know the words.............f you, f you too, f off............smack(assault)............ More than likely the dude who got bumed by the woman biker said or did something the male companion took offense to and got smacked.........I may be completely wrong but one would think that he must have said or done something to have been klapped. Right or wrong. I do not condone the assault either...........Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
