Went for a test drive a bit earlier and the bridge looked busy with traffic. Few guys on the side walk and even though there are plenty of people around they decided to try and rob 2 guys on 1 scooter. Luckily the passenger turned and saw him coming and the car behind attempted to knock him. Looks like a youngster. 

Doesn't look like they care who is around.

Saw on Reddit that a youngster ran out of petrol on his scooter and was pushing it over the bridge and he got mugged (over the weekend) 😔

They are going to establish two daily Law Enforcement deployments along the corridor during "peak hour" in the mornings (06h00-09h00) and afternoons. Unfortunately, only from 20 Jan.

I'm betting this didn't happen...

Sadly, you're right. I haven't seen anything the whole week.

I have just been on the bridge about 30 minutes ago. There was a Spar delivery scooter standing on the side and a Uber on the off ramp from the N1 inbound. I managed to chat to the guy on the scooter, he got robbed of his phone. The Uber was in discussion with 3 others and point down to the hokkies, Im assuming he got robbed as well.

Does any one have a lekker daisy gun? that old ones that shot those metal pallets. I would like to try something 😂

It’s not a matter of if but when… at some point someone will lose patience and do what the authorities should’ve done months ago.

I was thinking of going past with a paint ball gun and let loose.

Just to let you know my brother in-law who was cycling got mugged by 3 guys over the weekend on his way to the N1 from Woodstock, Saturday morning. He managed to break one of their noses but they managed to take his cellphone.

He is not a social media person so he was not aware of the recent muggings along the route.

So muggings are continuing. There are probably more muggings that are not reported on this forum.
