Caution R44 - Somerset West to Stellenbosch

[ricgerard]

Good day, I just want everyone to be cautious when cycling. Rode this morning and two seriously suspicious guys were walking just along the road just after the Lord Charles.

 

They way they kept looking back and across the road as I approached seemed very off. One guy also seemed to keep his hand im his pocket or behind him. I ended up cycling in middle of the road as I got close.

I always ride with caution and fortunately police training has taught me to always keep an eye on a suspect's hands, which is why the situation seemed sketchy

Unfortunately wouldn't be the first time someone has been attacked on that stretch of road. Thanks for the heads up

And now the Lord Charles is closing too. Might be a lot quieter along there?

Good advice, look at the hands... I do this when driving and approaching a red traffic light and intersections as well... a person with hands behind his back or in his pocket walking along the queue of cars is potentially a real danger..
