coppi Posted September 30, 2018 Share Bikejacking at Rosemary Hill ..... for those that donāt understand Afrikaans ....... forwarded from a friend. Ā Slegte ding het vandag gebeur. Het gewag tot ek eers kalmer is voor ek iets laat weet. Ek was ge-bikejack by Rosemary Hill vanoggend. Ou het ewe skielik agter 'n bos uit gespring en agter my aangehardloop. Ek het woes erg geskree en binne minder as 'n minuut was die fietsryer wat net agter my was by my en na dit nog 3 ander en het hulle met my terug gestap. Ongelukkig was die dief toe klaar weg met my fiets. Ek get niks oorgekom nie, behalwe vir groot skok en nou intense hartseer oor my fiets wat weg is. Skat dit kon veel erger gewees het, maar ek het basies my fiets net weggegee. Natuurlik was ek, in die 7 jaar vandat die plek bestaan, die eerste insident. Hulle het oral rondgery en gaan soek na my fiets en daar was selfs 'n helikopter in die lug, maar ek is bevrees hy is weg. Het ook 'n saak by polisie gaan oopmaak, vir wat dit werd is, maar al is dit dan net vir die stats is dit seker die moeite werd. Dit was nog altyd die heel veiligste plek waar 'n mens kon gaan draf of stap of fietsry. Nou weet ek nie wat bly oor nie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedal menace Posted April 10, 2019 Share Me and my partner got attacked this morning on top of Eeufees Road at 5AM. On the bridge just passed the Voortrekker Monument Robot. He got pushed of the bike whilst riding next to me. Took his bike and cell phone and ran into bushes! Be careful in that area!Ā Ā nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedal menace Posted April 10, 2019 Share Please provide more info, m.o. etc.We were riding next to each other and just passed the robot in front of Voortrekker monument up to the top to turn left at HeartFelt Arena. A bus was stationary next to the road. We passed the bus and saw a man walking in the middle of the road towards the bus and we assumed he was the bus driver. As we passed him, he pushed my friend of his bike. By the time I was able to stop, unclip and turn around I saw the guy grabbing bike from fallen partner and started running and jumping over rails next to road into bushes. Partner made unfortunate error to go after bike just to realise the guy who stole the bike had a partner hiding in bushes next to road. They both attacked him and then took his cellphone. I went into bushes (yes not a good idea) and saw the guys running with bike towards Old Jhb road. It was safer to call it quits and return to Eeufees where we called for help with my cellphone. .Ā Edited April 10, 2019 by pedal menace nonky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wokshots Posted June 6, 2019 Share Hi All,Ā www.cyclesafe.co.zaĀ This product is the birth child of exactly what this forum chats about. We face the reality that we may be mugged while out riding. Unfortunately the pepper spray in my back pocket wasn't accessible to me at the time I needed it. That is where this product came from.Ā Would love to know what you all think.Ā Edited June 6, 2019 by Wokshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
