WrightJnr Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Shocked no-one is bitching that the guy riding the bike isn't wearing a helmet.... Forget the helmet. Look at the size of that camelbak!!
Kranswurm Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Cause it is not Wynberg!Who said its Wynberg?
Zub Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Which part of the Main Road is that?I would guess the part around Wynberg Pharmacy and sports betting places. I was being timed by a bunch of lurkers past Sunday morning around 6am and sensed something was up when two of them crossed the street and another came closer to the road as I was approaching.I turned around and they yelled that I was lucky I had turn around.

Me rida my bicycle Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I believe this guy just found it in the mountain. The one very likely scenario no one has thought about and almost everyone has done it.Stop on the side of the trail leave your bike and go for a wizz and that's when he "found" it. The unfortunate bugger being accused of fraud and what not had to walk home in cleats.????????

Long Wheel Base Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 There is a part of Wynberg that has got itself a reputation as a haven for all kind of criminal activities. If you don't know which area, just take your bike and ride down Main Road on your own. It starts where the hair on the back of your neck stands up, and it ends where it stops doing that.So do I ride this part you speak about every year after the CTCT? I ride from the finish back to Fish Hoek.
Rudii Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Happy ending. The owner has got in touch with me. I have forwarded his details to Rotiringer. Let's hope this has a good ending.
Marcus227 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Hi Rotiringer. Have sourced the owner- Thanks for your great intervention in this matter. He is very keen to meet and have his bike returned. Please DM me on marc@assaymc.com Eddy Gordo, DJR and BigDL 3

DJR Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 So do I ride this part you speak about every year after the CTCT? I ride from the finish back to Fish Hoek. Capture1.PNGOn CTCT day it will be busy enough that I would not worry, but early morning on a weekend day, it is a bit lonely and I'll make sure I keep my eyes open and my pepper spray within easy reach. But then, the same can be said for other parts of Main Road also. I ride the bit through Woodstock and Salt River regularly, and although we have not had many problems there for the last few years, I tend to be more aware of my surroundings than usual.

Ok so basically you telling me that I take a really dodgy route back? Problem is there isn't much more of an option to avoid the actual route, that we know of. As it is we have to ride part of the route from end of blue route. DJR 1
Marcus227 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Has the owner confirmed if the bike was stolen or lost......................?Disappeared under mysterious circumstances from his garage while he was away - So- not "lost" on the mountain- but stolen/ taken/ borrowed out of the garage BigDL and Long Wheel Base 2
Long Wheel Base Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Disappeared under mysterious circumstances from his garage while he was away - So- not "lost" on the mountain- but stolen/ taken/ borrowed out of the garageIs the owner happy he is getting his bike back? or does he have a nice new 29er with 1x gearing?
