[Patchelicious]

Now it’s escalated to “number of hijackings” have drastically increased” yet only Cyclesures report gets referenced”

They even go as far as asking for info, surely if it’s a cyckesure client, they could get all the info from him. Case number, pics of the cut face...

Is dit nie dalk n storie wat die eienaar van n fiets vir cyclosure gespin het nie, net om n nuwe fiets te claim? Sny op sy gesig was dalk toe sy vrou uitvind van sy plan.

Update; so still no response from the journalist, but the CycleSure South Africa Facebook page has some discussion on this alleged incident, with a. someone claiming to know the cyclist and b. the case number opened at the Muldersdrift police station.

So, an interesting conversation today. I can confirm first hand that this incident did happen.

 

Turns out it’s the father of a colleague of mine. Got the full story and saw the pics.

So 1 incident, not “in the past few weeks incidents have drastically increased”

From me, yes can confirm one single incident. The one on the 9th Nov with an elderly rider between Bidon and the Lion Park traffic circle.

I've emailed the journo to ask whether she verified the story from additional sources, and whether she has additional information. Will revert as and when.

 

Have you by any chance heard back from her?

Can anybody advise if Cradle is seeing crowds on Sunday Mornings as well as safety concerns?

I havent been there since Early November 17, and wish to start cycling the area again

Big crowds on the weekends. Shouldn’t have safety concerns.

I drove past Chris Froome at the cradle this morning at 9am. Motor pacing with two other riders.
