I've been dealing with a minor knee niggle, but I've not been outside on the bike in 6 weeks, which is bloody ridiculous. Delmas road was scrapped after the 1st attack (which was on a friend of mine), but then there were other incidents on other PTA routes as well.Ā Mtree 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iive between Soshanguve and Hammanskraal. And cycle through the bush without issues. I try to avoid places where they know cyclists go with fancy bikes. And I ride with old shorts, safety boots and a back pack I got from Mr price. And I look more like a commuter. I, do believe this helps. I don't care what I look like. I do this for fun Mtree, Pofkat and openmind 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotShatterProof Posted April 18, 2023 Share On 4/13/2023 at 11:40 AM, Dup08 said: Just got word from a colleague that 2 cyclists were bike jaked on Midstream drive in Centurion this morning. Close to where the wood is being sold next to the road. Polo pulled up and 3 occupants jumped out and charged the two cyclist. Bakkie pulled up a short while later to load the bikes. Be carefull when riding around midstream, especially in smaller groups. Approximate location: https://goo.gl/maps/F1ehXzqZjB97JgYy9 If possible could you please indicate at roughly what time this happened. Apologies for replying so long after the original post but I don't always get time for the The Hub. I commute fairly close to there and any additional information will make a difference. Thanks.
