Unfortunately had one of these on Sun 16 April at 6:30 am. Leaving Fourways, corner Cedar & Uranium Roads. Silver Toyota Corolla, FY76BP GP. The car turned from Uranium into Cedar behind us as we were going up the hill. Just after the robot the guy who jumped out the car was on us and trying to pull phones out, pushing me over in the process before jumping back into the car and disappearing.

Also been hearing of incidents further along Cedar going up the hill to the N14 bridge.

Good day fellow cyclists (Security Concerns)

In light of the ongoing muggings and attempted muggings along Cedar Road and other Fourways areas, Thompsons Security has kindly offered to provide a security vehicle escort into the cradle. Starting from Cedar Square entrance all the way to Pedal and Sprocket intersection.

There will be 2 time slots, identical on both Saturdays and Sundays.

The departure point is Cedar Square Entrance (off Cedar Road) at 6:30 and and 7am.

If you would like to utilise this very generous offer, please be ready to leave at the above times. The vehicles will leave at exactly 06:30 and 07:00.

We will be piloting this operation from Saturday 22 April. The security car will be trying to drop off the first group at Pedal & Sprocket and still get back to Cedar Square by 7 for the second group, so the first few attempts might need a little tweaking, but having the car moving up and down the road has additional benefits of more visibility, so it will hopefully work well with timing.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please drop an email to luis@ferreiras.co.za

All traffic laws will be followed, most importantly red robots to keep us all together and with the car. 

Be safe, be vigilant, and look after each other out there.
