Wait. Just hang on for a second.

 

Are you saying that even though there's a pattern of hijackings happening, we should just not tell anyone of the danger? So instead of people arranging bigger riding groups or avoiding certain hotspots, they can now just carry on riding merrily until they get hijacked, mugged, seriously hurt or maybe even killed (the attackers are armed)?

 

I would rather know of dangerous spots so I can either avoid them or be prepared when I ride them.

Maybe you onto something Hog, maybe iDrive is the king pin behind a bike jacking syndicate and publicising the MO, hotspots etc is screwing his income.

Hmmmmm.... good thinking. Let's check the classifieds to see how many bikes he's got for sale. Confused

Just because they build race tracks and allow average joe to drive drive on it at track days does not decrease traffic on normal roads.

 

I use The Spruit almost everyday and have at least one night ride on it every week. I use discretion and ride in groups whenever possible. I'm not going to stop just because there is a new facility near Fourways. I will frequent Andrew's bike park as I do Logwood, Groenkloof, Northernfarm etc.
