Hearts* Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Not good, now it seems we are reduced to Polka...that area by the camera close to Neetlinghshof is most probable also going to become a hot spot...:-(
Malpiet Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Do you think it will be a wise idea to start a whatsapp group (no bantering allowed) for area specific cyclist, using my area as a example: Crawford,Gatesville,Surrey Estate & Penlyn since majority of us use the same roads to get in and out of the area from our training rides. Just an idea..
Tightfitt Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Sort of a neighbourhood watch cycle group - great idea, if used responsibly.
JJACK Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 This is not good! We're not safe out there anymore. Got a contact that can get this pepper spray which apparently packs a nasty punch @ R90 a pop. Not sure what other products are out there but this one's got nice strap which can be attached to bike/bag etc. If any Hubbers are interested let me know can try and get a few of these.
Joe Low Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 The guy that was almost jacked on Sunday (26/01/2014) was the last guy in a peleton of riders.... And in other news - Slower Western Cape cyclists show a marked improvement in their training times
Loupie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Jjack... Got exactly the same spray. Aparantly it is effective up to 3m. Fits nicely on my polar watch mount on my bike
Cellar Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 (edited) Do you think it will be a wise idea to start a whatsapp group (no bantering allowed) for area specific cyclist, using my area as a example: Crawford,Gatesville,Surrey Estate & Penlyn since majority of us use the same roads to get in and out of the area from our training rides. Just an idea.. For safety and security issues, a closed twitter group would be a better idea in my opinion. It's a good idea you have, but whatsapp is not secure. If you go the twitter route, run it as forced ssl only. Edited January 31, 2014 by Cellar
LeTurbo Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 If you use pepper spray, you need to test it occasionally. Also to see whether it has a mist or a straight spray.
