News bot Posted April 29, 2015 Share Depending on where and when you ride and your vulnerability, you may be exposed to some risk of assault or robbery while cycling. The risk is often low but the impact on many people of an assault, robbery or other attack is massive. It can significantly reduce how much you use your bike and the stress-free enjoyment of riding when you do. Consequently, it is worth trying to minimise the risk of assault before it ever happens to you. Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampandy Posted April 29, 2015 Share Cyclists should not become targets for criminals, but we are and it will take plenty to stop it. Hence Mr H&K always accompany me and one of my bikes. johannrissik and N-I-N-J-A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DominionZA Posted April 29, 2015 Share What happened?Wandered into unknown territory (Spartan in Kempton). Started feeling a bit dodge - and isolated - so I found a spot I thought was safe to look up a route out on my cell using Waze. While busy searching I heard a noise behind me and turned around. Young guy was creeping up on me on the left, with his mate on the right. Thankfully I was positioned to put foot and managed to easily peddle away. They just started laughing at me and said they just wanted the time. Ya right...
