Stifffler Posted September 27, 2013 Share Hi guys, a mate and I went cycling this morning past that dreaded kempton park hot spot. Please be careful out there as they pulled guns on us and took phones etc, luckily some passing traffic chased them away and managed to get bikes back. To the taxi, the gentleman in his whit dbl cab and the gautrain bus driver, thank you. We owe you!! South Africa needs more of you guys out there and less of these knobs trying to take what's not theirs. Be safe ScottCM, Andro, Brett and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howmuch Posted September 27, 2013 Share Where exactly is the "hotspot" - planning a ride from Edenvale to Roodeplaat tomorrow ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifffler Posted September 27, 2013 Share Not to far from the Vw in kempton park, Pretoria road and I believe they like to jack the guys near the holiday inn, same road as simba chips. They have the train station closely so easy for them to getaway. Cheers howmuch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honkdonk Posted September 27, 2013 Share "Been there ...3 times" same spot ?Nope.. Different spots each time. Needless to say I am very wary of where, when and how I ride these days, if its not a dedicated bike park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a no go zone for me. Farkin bastards - I hate having to change my life because of crime. Glad you're OK. Stifffler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinton - theCOW Posted September 27, 2013 Share There's been a lot of jackings there, think they also have a good visibility and can hide nicely in the bushes, haven't been out there in a while but i know even the Edenglen guys altered their route even with 5 odd of them riding. Safety is more important than saving the 5 odd minutes. Stifffler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surv0MTB Posted September 27, 2013 Share Why do people still ride there? Let alone walk there... Im from CPT and have seen many a dodgy character hanging around that area when im up there for work, regularly. Its been an issue for ages now.. why take the risk? Glad u got your bikes back but seriously, plan a better route next time.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
