Stolen: Merida Reacto 2016 (Cape Town)

[Hillsong]

Stolen: Merida Reacto 2016
When: 14 February 2017
Where: Cape Town, Western Cape

Bike was fastened to my Hold Fast bike rack on the back of my vehicle (locked) when I decided to stop for a pie and coffee in Durham Street, Salt River. I travel this road quite often and never had any problems here. My vehicle was parked in the road. I dashed in and after around 4-5 minutes I came back out. Whilst inside I received a phone call from one of my big clients, so my mind was all over the place when I came back out. I jumped into my car and drove off and only after about 2 to 3 minutes I looked back and realized that the bike was gone. I pulled over and saw the bike and lock were missing . I rushed back to Durham road but had no luck in finding my ride. Please be vigilant when transporting your bikes guys. And rather invest in proper locks for your bike racks!

Best of luck mate.

 

I also have a Reacto, and I sometimes do the same, but I lock mine to my bike rack with those steel wire coil ones, this one must be between 12 and 15mm thick, good luck getting through that one!
