Hairy Posted July 18, 2020 Share Sad that this thread is becoming "popular" again! ADMIN:This may have already been asked or exists somewhere else...how about having a live map somewhere that links incident reports of either muggings or attacks and displays the location/position with a short mouse-over description such as Date Time Event etc so this can be used when planning rides? Is it possible? It will then give a really good idea of hotspots.....The PPA have this running https://pedalpower.org.za/crime-hotspots/ capediver and MORNE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted July 18, 2020 Share I believe one of the savages got robbed of his bike in Claremont this morning. He stopped at a red Traffic light and two scumbags stepped off the sidewalk, knifes in hand, and robbed him of his bike. He beat a hasty retreat, but they still chased him for a few meters to try and get his phone. He got away unscathed, minus his Cannondale Supersix Evo. Moral of the story: Don't stop at red traffic lights, lest you get mugged.Yup, crazy morning but I am 'ok'.

DJR Posted July 18, 2020 Share Yup, crazy morning but I am 'ok'. Really sorry to hear of this. Glad you are physically unharmed. Watch out for the emotional bruises and don't let it scar you. Bikes can be replaced, although it doesn't always feel like that. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hesitate to take the trauma counseling offer. I was involved in an car accident last year, brushed it off. Two months later I checked myself into ER with chest pains. Turned out to be anxiety and PTSD driven. Sorted now, but I could have saved some of the hair on this receding hairline of mine. Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridr Posted July 20, 2020 Share I was in town from Thursday and was told when I arrived 'don't go over Stanhope bridge in the dark'. Heard there's been a few incidents of runners, walkers and cyclists being attacked. Must be the same guys? Why haven't they been caught yet??

Let's Ride Posted July 20, 2020 Share The police are currently investigating and going after them. They have held up a lady at the ATM and mugged a mother pushing her baby in a pram in the area.What amazes me. One lady in my running group runs main road and Stanhope early in the morning most days. I being a male am worried but I run with nothing except my watch and tell my wife what route I am running/ what time she should start worrying.
