CVANC Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I was cycling on the R312 (towards Paarl) around 9:35 this morning (22 March 2015). Just ahead of the Fisantekraal train bridge a man crossed the road and was now walking in the same direction I was cycling, as I passed him he pushed a stick into my back wheel. Fortunately I managed to stay upright and rode away to safety across the bridge, after being chased for a few meters he ran off into the bushes when he saw cars approaching. Thank you to the bunch of riders that stopped and cycled with me to a safer spot on Klipheuwel Road where I could wait for someone to fetch me.
'Dale Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 Myself and a few others stopped to assist and get you out of the hot spot. Fisantekraal has a good reputation in terms of safety for those passing through.There's always a bad apple or few in the village. Glad you're okay, man.

Wannabe Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Glad you are OK, and that the 'Dale posse was around to assist you. I had a youngster make a grab at my handlebars a few months back. It happened between the trees just before you start the drag out of Fisantekraal. Luckily I was quick enough to evade him. He ran away very fast when I slammed on brakes and turned around to confront him. I think it was just a youngster being a youngster, and made nothing of it. I'm just a bit more cautious now if there is people next to the road. edit=Spelling
Long Wheel Base Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Glad your ok man, could have been much worse. Must have got the heart rate up.
Barker Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I had a few kids through rocks at me in that area but never before a attempted mugging but its always in the back of my mind. Glad you made it out and got assistance. Btw what type of bike? Mtn or Road?
