I am convinced. They are toobless and I had zero issues during the waterpolo Argus. DJR and Scary Rider 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted March 29, 2022 Share my bike took me nowhere today. Last night I was fully committed to riding this morning, despite not having a great sleep I still got up with the alarm @ 5am, but the apprehension brought on by the recent muggings on my route got the better of me and I went back to bed. I cant let them win though, I will be back out there. mecheng89 and Pieterlab1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm generally not fussed and ride solo 99% of the time, but the increase in reports have me a bit nervous. As much as I enjoy the social aspect of group riding, the inconvenience and inflexibility it brings frustrates me. Still, went out with the group this morning rather and had a good time (being the only MTB in a quick roadie group is always fun to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also prefer solo rides. bicycle line starts very close to where I am, but they start at 4:30, not sure I can bring myself to get up that early, it already feels like the middle of the night when leaving at 5:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to be back by 05:30/05:45 ideally, so most group rides start and finish too late for me. Rides usually start at 04:10 regardless of day. I can ride to Modderfontein, do a big loop, ride back and still catch my family in PJs having clocked ~100k before 09:30. I have little interest in sitting and shooting the **** with a bunch of semi-rando's for an hour in the middle of a 70k ride that only starts at 0700.

I'm also normally back while the family is still trying to roll out of bed, but during the week that is 6:30. Also have no interest in sitting in a bunch with random people all flexing their egos, but have considered this for 1) safety 2) longer rides i guess the first step is for me to visit BL and get onto their whatsapp group, thats one step closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
