ewep Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 On Tuesday, 26 December, I was unfortunate enough to be at the Union Hospital in Alberton. 2 cyclists were brought into the trauma unit, one shot through the arm. The guys were riding on the Old Vereeniging Rd. when guys jumped out, bikejacked the one and shot at the other when he started sprinting away. Please be on the lookout for the one guys bike. Ridley Full carbon, Shimano Dura-Ace g/set and wheels (not the carbon ones!)
scotty Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Thats bad, one guy from our club rides a Ridley and trains out that way.
Mudsimus Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Trying to ride away is normal....I know! But at that moment your legs are like jelly its useless! Just stand still and deliver.
widget Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I dont know any more - crime I can understand and accept, but the level of violent crime is really quite unacceptable. I often ride around that particular area as the club uses it all the time but I would not ride there alone.
hagar Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 makes you sick !!! it is bad enough hijacking cars now the f^(*^*% must take bikes too !!
Flippa Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 Old Vereeniging Road also forms part of my regular route. I also avoid riding that route alone. Generally, 5 or more riders makes me feel a lot safer.
landie Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 we are planning to hike on table mountain coming weekend. Because of all the incidents that have happened there, hiking parties must be at least 5, or bigger. i believe you get a walking stick that disguises a sword blade. Imagine hiking by youself and guys approach you with knifes. You hold out the walking stick, they grab it... taking the protective part off the sword...
Bateleur1 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Don't worry guys. Crime is on the decrease!! So the minister says. Yeah, f#$%ng right. Wonder when someone is going to wake him up and tell him he was dreaming.
dirtrider Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 The $%^###@ got 20 gaurds , electric fence and barb wire round his house , what does he knows ?
Bateleur1 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Hence his statement. Nobody has attacked him yet. As far as he is concerned, things are going very well here in sunny SA.
