Evan Andreou Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I want to ask all hubbers to use this thread to post details of trouble spots/ potential trouble spots as a heads up to others. If we can prevent what happened to Mathilda, Fanie, Auctionlamb and several others in the last few weeks I believe we may have actually gotten something right.

Evan Andreou Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Thanks ALA request that we keep this factual and to the point as far as possible CityAreaWhat to look out for
Rawhide Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Would it not help to have a seperate forum on the hub for this,...possibly called "Cycling Safty", could also serve to highlight high accident areas as well

I think there are enough dangerous, crime potential areas where we all ride to justify a thread dedicated to the issue.
Wyatt Earp Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Coming out of the top gate at Northern Farm,turn right, go down the hill and start the long climb to Laezonia. Where the small tar road meets the dirt, we had an incident there a few weeks ago and reportedly other riders as well.

I think there are enough dangerous, crime potential areas where we all ride to justify a thread dedicated to the issue. Nothing wrong with "Cycling Trouble Spots" !!!!! Relax dude, I just think it would be usefull if all the treads about Thot Spots, dangerous roads, etc etc where all in one place (forum). I think it's great idea to have a list like this I will definatly check through it if I go ride on an unfamilier route

Thanks for this, I use that route frequently on my own, never had an issue and always thought it safe enough.Back to the sidearm then...

I think it's great idea to have a list like this I will definatly check through it if I go ride on an unfamilier route I'll be sure to put lots of smilies on my future posts. No worries. I think the sad thing is that a list like this will basically have just about every place we ride on it. I can already add Deer park and all surrounding foothills on Table Mountain, Topside & Blackhill, Kalk bay, Silvermine and that's just the tip of the iceberg. I know of incidents at all of these venues. What p!sses me off even more is that In centurion there are spots where it has been known for bike-jackings for years. The cops know about it, yet nobody gets caught and no cyclists are safe.
Tumbleweed Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 wolfie, maybe ask admin to make this a sticky topic?

idrive Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I've suggested this many times. It should a forum on its own ..... just like 'Rant & Rave' But does anyone really care enough?
