GlockG4 Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 Sorry to heard man, but very glad that you are still alive. Would you mind giving us a bit more detail on how it happened, did they jump out of the bushes and push you off your bike?
canadonis Posted January 4, 2015 Posted January 4, 2015 I'm really sorry about your ordeal, I know we can't always be grateful and thankful for sparing our lives as we really shouldn't have to go thru these experiences at all. Take care and I wish you a speedy recovery.
bullet77 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 That's horrific man, hope you heal up soon. Looks like your helmet took some of the strike/blow.
Ampandy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Dude get well soon. Sorry to hear of the bad news.

Skylark Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Sjoe, that's a lot of stitches, gives new meaning to the word unibrow Jokes aside I hope your mind and body heal up soonest. Need to bring back capital punishment or at least chopping off a hand or so. We are sitting ducks on our bikes, when I ride near bushes my Spider senses are always on red alert, though sadly to be honest there is not a whole lot you can do to guard against a surprise attack when you are riding a bike.
Trackmonster Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I ride the area a couple of times week for the last few years but always try stay away from the Blue Hills side and stick to the main trails in Sun Valley, Inanda Base and Minandi. I watch all pedestrians very carefully because I trust none of them. But I am 115kg of pure muscle so perhaps a little intimidating. Its happening everywhere now, even Cape Town is having big problems with bike jackings. We cant just ride anywhere we want anymore, its totally out of control. Bro, I hope you recover ok and get back on the bike soon.

YOU ARE ASSUMING THESE CREATURES GIVE A FLYING VAAAARK ABOUT SIZEtheir tactic is simple, cowards who prey on the element of surprise and the fact that you on 2 wheels, no matter how beeeeg you are if you caught unaware you going to end up with a spade in your face, lying on your back saying"black belt huh???" uh huh "brick"i stopped riding motorbikes because i got away many years injuiry free and considered myself lucky as far as motor bikes are concerned, lately i think you stand more chance of going injuiry free climbing back on a motor bike
