Fisan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Forwarded MSG on the Maties Cycling Discussion Group:Hey guys and girls. Be super vigilant out on the roads when training. Tried jacking me earlier on the R44 this evening . Came sprinting at me from behind from the other side of the road while I was climbing out of Stellenbosch towards Welgevonden. If I didn't ride with a rear view mirror, I would not have seen it and managed to sprint away just in time. Let people know that they are coming from behind, you would never know till it's too late.Glad the MatieTM is okay, but I am getting real tired of this BS in Stellies!!

Martin Zietsman Posted August 12, 2014 Share It was me that posted this on the Maties group. It happened at about 5pm at peak hour. It was a solo guy and he must be very brave or very stupid trying to take on a 1.94m+ cyclist, although I don't know if he had any weapons.

Francois Pienaar Posted August 12, 2014 Share Sadly solo riding is not great. At times, there is no choice, but ja, I try to stick to super MAIN roads when riding on my own. Sigh, the world we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
