Just got news that a cyclist was attacked and robbed of his bike and cell in Turfhall road yesterday morning. He is apparently a Spartans member. Can anybody confirm the details or shed any more light on this?

Yoh!

Again.

 

If I was a bikejacker, it is now prime season with the Aurgust race in a few weeks.

 

Be safe out there, Riders.

Eish, and with all the "August" riders out training now, things does not look good that there will not be more incidents.

Abbas, hope you recover 100% and that you will not loose your love for cycling. Was a sweet rig you had there (hope it's at least insured)

Sorry to hear Abbas, recover all. Was also in a situation, lucky not hurt, but was able to track and retrieve my bike via a tracking system I installed, very small and hidden away, works very well.

Been thinking about something like that, what tracking device did you use?
