Maaknplan Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 Hi Stoffies, were you able to get any joy with the camera footage ? I see there is a camera right on the bridge.
isn Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I'm more and more convinced via these punks modus operandi that there are more than one syndicate running rife here in the western cape. No guys will operate in the same area on more than one occasion. Also the fact that certain high end bikes seem to be targeted and not the bottom ranged bikes. My plans for cycling will change to rather have a second steel framed bike for everyday cycling around town and keep my carbon for races alone. No use riding on your expensive frames so these Aholes can benefit or even injure/kill us. Stoffie it's unacceptable that you had to go through this trauma and also that you struggled to get assistance from the public and police. Yes we need to find a way to combat these type of incidents. Demarcation of certain high spots? Carrying a high pitch whistle to attract surrounding attention? Cycle in groups of at least four? Tazers(not my favourite option) simply because violence begets violence. Any kind of jacking needs to be dealt with. It's just not RIGHT. WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO RIDE AND ENJOY OUR BIKES.
stingray79 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Im not sure if there is someone in Gauteng that has the exact same bike but there was one at swiss cycles in rosebankon Monday getting a new groupset build. Might be worth a follow up

JustPaul Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 About two months ago the same happened to me, I use that route between 6-7 am and again at 3:30 pm for 4-5 times a week and one morning they tried to take my bike from me on the bridge. So now I cycle in the buss lane.

Lucky Fish Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hi In 2010 I came down from dangerous Johannesburg to safe Cape Town to be mugged in the same area. Johan Cape Argus Article.pdf
