GIRR Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hey guys Just wanted to let everyone know about an incident in muldersdrift on Sunday. I was riding alone and a taxi came along side me and the driver said to me "give me your bicycle", I just shook my head and he continued driving next to me for a few kilometers repeating "give me your bicycle". He then drove a hundred meters in front of me and stopped. The driver then got out and tried to stop me as i went past, I dodged him and carried on my way. He didn't try to follow me after that. I don't really know what to make of this but recommend people to be careful out there, stupidly I forgot to take down his numberplate.
Tumbleweed Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 jeez, dude, you were in too much of a hurry to get out of there to take down the number plate! glad you escaped!
Tumbleweed Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hectic - were you riding on your own? he did say "i was riding alone"?
flex Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hectic - were you riding on your own? ? he did say "i was riding alone"? Oops, missed that. I guess this confirms that its not safe, ever and anywhere, to ride on your own these days. What a shame.
Danger Dassie Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Where was this? On the dirt road past the quarrys that ends near the Police Station? Must say, it's the first time I've heard of an incident like this there. Good thing nothing happened and you kept your cool.
bored girl Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hectic - were you riding on your own? ? he did say "i was riding alone"? Did you not get your 5 coffees this morning....?
flex Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Did you not get your 5 coffees this morning....? Nope... and on top of it I am at home in bed sick - must have been the medication

GIRR Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Hey GIRR Can you please tell us where exactly this happened? I cycle alone in the westrand quite frequently. So this is bit of a shock yet good information. It was from the second circle towards beyers naude like you do on D2D. I often ride there alone during the week aswell and have never had a problem or incident, so was a bit surprised.
GIRR Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 was the taxi driver alone? Yes, luckily, I would've gotten pretty nervous if he had a few friends with him.
Tumbleweed Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 i fear the outcome would have been different?glad it wasn't!
