Alida Posted July 9, 2010 Share Anyone cycling out on the Boschkop road ... please cycle in a group so that you're more visible or ideally with a following vehicle. I've had a couple of close calls out there and yesterday one of the ladies that cycles with us in the club was hit from behind. She's OK. Her new bike is trashed. The police got the guy (he was drunk and drove off after he hit her) - not sure what the outcome will be but the most important thing is that she's only got a few scrapes.

Spinnekop Posted July 9, 2010 Share Hi Alida. Thanks for the heads up. Boschkop has always been an issue with drunk stupid people. Hope she heals up soon!! And gets a better new bike!! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffet Posted February 15, 2011 Share Engine garage on R21S. Watch out in that area, today as I was leaving the garage going to the sand road behind it some guy ran ahead of me through the gap in the prefab wall, didn't think much of it. As I rode through the gap I saw him and gave myself some space between him and me. As I rode next to him he suddendly started sprinting towards me shouting "****you man!" I put foot and luckily managed to speed away. He didn't look like he intended to just shake my hand had he caught me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagwil Posted May 7, 2011 Share Does anybody know anything about a bike-jacking behind Smuts' Farm this morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-unit Posted May 7, 2011 Share We rode with Cycle lab this morning. We were quite a big group. 4 of us were alone in front on a downhill jeep track section when we rode past 5 or 6 guys crouching behind the bush. We stopped about 30meters after them and shouted back to the rest of the group to warn them. The hijackers obviously realized we were in quite a group and ran away. At least 1 panga. It was behind the shooting range. What a shame if these guys hijacked someone later after we notified the police... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtbbiker Posted May 8, 2011 Share Does anybody know anything about a bike-jacking behind Smuts' Farm this morning?Yip, there was a Hi-Jacking in the main road past the cement factory. Must have happened after the cyclelab group went past (Please next time phone the Police!!!!).
