Halfdoesyn Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Just picked this op off Facebook, Kendal Road Community page: "Cyclists robbed of his bicycle and beaten up in main road near Std Bank building Durbanville. Unconfirmed but seems to be held at gun point, possibly involved is a black golf. Take care, especially cycling alone"
Ferro Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 FFS.In Main Rd. Not very subtle.Hope he is OK.
Vetseun Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Hope he is okay.Send them to Bloem.Hier moer ons n ding wat laf raak.
Halfdoesyn Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Yes, slap bang in the middle of town. This is madness. Will try to find out more and post.
lerouc Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 What time did this happen...no traffic in main road? Jeeze this is ridiculous.
Halfdoesyn Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 One of the commenters said around 6:00.
Kapenschtaten Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 The solution is to ride weekdays on a POS bike and keep the proper bike for the group rides/weekends.
TLetlhatlhe Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Has it come down to this? Must cyclists now start carrying weapons to defend themselves?
'Dale Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 That's my 'hood, yoh!And 90% of my training is solo. So sorry to hear.
Rapunzel Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 hold horses - this has not all been confirmed! The report is 3rd hand and the report is full of wording such as "unconfirmed", "seems to be" and "possibly" so let's hold tight until reliable information is available.
Wannabe Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Seems you are on this, T?Keep us up to date, if you can.
Davedk Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 even if unconfirmed, little bit of a wake up call for those of us cycling early morning (or at any time really) Hope the person is ok
HBO Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Has it come down to this? Must cyclists now start carrying weapons to defend themselves? NO!! you're not allowed to defend yourself.
Skylark Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 That's rof, 6am is quite early, thought the perps were still sleeping off their hangovers at that time?
TLetlhatlhe Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 NO!! you're not allowed to defend yourself.
lerouc Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 That's rof, 6am is quite early, thought the perps were still sleeping off their hangovers at that time?still awake from last night... not from that part but usually a "main" road is quite busy at 6 am already.
