I have an ace up my sleeve, I always ask for a strava profile to see if the guy rides! If he says he doesn't do Strava I know he is a fraudster as if its not on strava it did not happen!!  :P

 You just alienated all the endomondo riders

I have had 11 Facebook friends share this post today with captions along the lines of:

 

"Typical SA, piece of *** country, catch this ****...."

 

Shows you just how important it is to read these "share me" articles before simply clicking, and coming across as a moron when its pointed out that it happened in Canada.

Yep. the very same. I didn't share it, but I backed up a mate of mine who did by referring to the 6 degrees of separation thing, and that most of us in this age of social media have a friend's friend's friend living somewhere close to the place that it happendd.

Im based in Malawi and always looking for bikes that look out of place. What I have noticed is that the bikes must be stripped where they are stolen and then sent up into Africa. I have come across many bikes that have various parts that don't match the bikes and are high end.

 

The rumours around here are that many are taken to Mozambique via Mangochi in Malawi.

There's a definite local market for stolen bikes outside the second-hand shops.

 

In the last few weeks I've seen two suspicious-looking bikes and riders. 

 

1. Voortrekker road, Parow - a blingy white hipster single-speed, ridden by a guy in painter's overalls.

 

2. A road bike with quality wheels ridden by a kid in jeans and a hoodie.

 

Both times I was in traffic going the other way and they may both belong to the riders but they looked out of place....

 

What should we do in these situations?
