nathrix Posted September 21, 2020 Author Posted September 21, 2020 The gentleman’s name is Daniel. Apparently quads and offroad bikes are riding there willy nilly and swear at him. The major problem what i could gather is hijacking syndicates operating there, they are active on the N14 and using his farm to get on it using the land as quick access and off the highway as an escape route.

Ripping up all the dirt roads, donutting and dicking about and riding down any path/servitude they see....

A lot of previously places to ride in my area are being blocked/barricaded because of idiots on quads and off-road motorbikes. Just yesterday in a field a guy on a bike came from behind at a moerse speed and passed barely a meter on my left, I almost fell my arse off.

The OR Tambo and RTT loops closed due to MX guys.I was sworn at and threatened this weekend for just riding on dirt roads at the plots in my area which i feel is unfair im on a bicycle not something powered by a motor riding down fences and ****. The dirt okes really give us a bad name because they have to power on the bikes to just speed away. Good on the gent for protecting his land due to syndicates operating off there, i hope he gets it sorted and can perhaps come to an agreement with the cycling community.

Try riding on the road sometime. Also, if this thread has taught me anything, it is that you need to tell us what colour the motorbike rider was for your post to count.

PS, I stay away from the road as far as physically possible, this being one of the reasons, besides MTB is so much more fun.
