GlockG4 Posted January 4, 2015 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadonis Posted January 4, 2015 Share 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.

Skylark Posted January 5, 2015 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
