nazmo Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 From Table Mountain Riders group on FB. "Hiker robbed at knifepoint in the Tokai car park at 6am this morning. 3 suspects in a silver Golf. Rangers only come on duty at 7:30am. Be careful is all I can say !" If the facts are correct, then its worrying that this is a different group of people to the mast crew. They use a vehicle. Tokai and TBM definately a soft target area.
cadenceblur Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This, just infuriates me! Getting out of hand, almost think an example needs to be made of this scum.
Samurai Pizza Cat Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 So basically it is more dangerous to ride at Tokai than the Spruit!
dirtypot Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 WTF??! If they start hitting Ou Wapad, I'm selling my bike.
EmptyB Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Was it one hiker or several joggers that were held up??
Surv0MTB Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This is ridiculous. What can be done? Is it worth trying to get there early to catch these guys? Get a ranger involved one morning to assist? We can block all entry to the parking lot until people have identified themselves or something. If criminals know people are expecting them, they would probably stay away.
Flowta Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Damn, Tokai is going downhill at a rate of knots!!!
nazmo Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Its utter BS. Every ride I do, has become a logistic. I can only ride at certain times, certain places and certain routes. Road and MTB. Im sure most of us feels this way. Problem is, not sure what the solution is, short of lots of brave volunteers, we cannot rely on the authorities.
Warren_G Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Damn I never thought I'd want to ride armed but this is really getting ridiculous!

(Deon) Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Found out this morning that many of the "usual suspects" in the Constantiaberg area have been released on bail or have been released, period. Remember that there are eyes reading everything, the front page reports really have me cringing, especially the latest one that starts out quoting social media about guns and ****! FFS!
(Deon) Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Damn I never thought I'd want to ride armed but this is really getting ridiculous!..and the reporter looking for a good story has just amended the scum's inventory list! Be careful out there.
Smurfy Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 This, just infuriates me! Getting out of hand, almost think an example needs to be made of this scum.FLAME SUIT ON: I took alot of heat when I said that I pack Heat when we cycle around certain areas. Will continue to do so. Hope that I wont need it, but rather have it and not need it. Ps the extra weight helps with training.
paul_ct Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 NB!NB!NB! If you ride when or where few people are around, then ride in a group.
