ycowley Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 So, thanks to the idiots bike jacking, etc. where is it safe for ladies to cycle on their own (during the week at about 8h00) in the Centurion area? I know of: - Red BarnGroenkloof Anywhere else?
dirtrider Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I will not really go alone to REd Barn . Groenkloof is about the only option I think , don't know how secure the new bike park Wolve-something is ?
Super Sywurm Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I also want to know where the ladies cycle. I wanna park under a tree with my binoculars. :ph34r:
Meerkat82 Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I cycle Klapperkop, R21, Botha and Nellmalpius but apparently I have been very lucky not to have been ambushed or worse.
Lynnie_the_Snail Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Good question, but I would like to know where it would be safe to go cycle in Cape Town… alone.
Tubehunter Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Why would you ladies want to cycle alone? Surely there are enough of you wanting to ride at that time of the day to start up a cycling group? If one does not exist yet, then start it. Safety in numbers. No cycle ride is worth the consequences on you being out there on your own and real stuff going down!
MTBeer Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Good question, but I would like to know where it would be safe to go cycle in Cape Town… alone.Tygerberg trails (except Majik Forest) are safe. Don't know of a single incident there in the 4 years I have been riding.
KENDA Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Indoors on rollers or a indoor trainer.... Seriously, alone is just not worth it. Woman have too much to lose.... Join club rides or start your own group on whatsapp. You will be surprised to see how quickly the group will grow.
Super Sywurm Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The 3 or 4 times I've been to Majik Forest, there were always looking people sitting and walking there.
dirtrider Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Very big group on FB in your area . search Pretoria East MTB . Lotsa ladies on there .
MTBeer Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 The 3 or 4 times I've been to Majik Forest, there were always looking people sitting and walking there.that's why I excluded Majik Forest. I wouldn't ride there alone as a man.
Super Sywurm Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 that's why I excluded Majik Forest. I wouldn't ride there alone as a man.The part behind the forest is fine, it's what is lurking in the forest that's the problem.
floatfox Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 If you don't mind a bit of travelling then Modderfontein is fantastic, security is always on duty and they are open 7 days a week.
Uni Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I will not really go alone to REd Barn . Groenkloof is about the only option I think , don't know how secure the new bike park Wolve-something is ? i have to second this. And I went on a weekend - even though we were in a group of 3 ladies, in certain sections I did not feel secure at all - there's one section heading back to the barn where you travel along a spruit section and along the main road - it's not enclosed at all - and that day there was a guy digging through the garbage along the spruit.
dirtchick Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Move to KZN - especially PMB aka cycle city. lots of places to rides and plenty of ladies groups riding every day
Motard660 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Move to South Coast.....Rocky bay, Renishaw
