Serious Bike Jackings near rietvlei south of JHB

It is sad to learn of this but good to know (guess) that no-one has lost a life yet. Riding in groups seems to be a good solution and the DOC guys and gals are a great bunch to ride with.

 

My advice for those in the area, ride the tracks at the Zoofarm or ride with DOC or other largeish groups on the outrides.

Just got this from the current DOC newsletter:

 

Bike Hi-Jacking

Please don’t ride alone anymore until the vermin have been vacated from our turf, as you aware there have been two cyclists that have lost their bikes and valuables, then last night 2 cyclists from the Clowns took a short cut, while riding on the Tar road behind the Heineken last night were followed by 4 individuals in a white Golf, please look out for this vehicle and please be careful. They asked the cyclists on numerous occasions to stop, the cyclists realised that they were in trouble and headed off into the dirt. The golf turned around and drove up and down looking for them.

That's not good to hear.

I have noticed a couple of holes in the fence the other side of the river.

As far as I can find out from my sources that is the only one and no issues there for a long time.

 

I could be wrong but that is unlikely ;)
