Santa C Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Teak Place? Suikerbosrand? Groenkloof? Some may be a bit further than NF but they seem reasonably secure... Teak Place has gaurds, so it is very safe to ride there!
Tumbleweed Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Shocking news!!!! There is no where safe to ride in the area! try east rand!!! i've only heard of isolated attacks there. i got bike-jacked about 7 years ago. partly my own fault.

Tumbleweed Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 no ways! sandpan used to be one of my favourite haunts back in the day. thought it was all built over now. were you alone? and, yeah, benoni's da bomb! home to holy roller and grapes
Dibles Posted December 23, 2009 Author Posted December 23, 2009 can you please add me to the list? What speed 9how fast) do you go? I'm really slow and average between 14 - 20 km/h for a 4 to 6 hr ride depending on the terrain/ascent. We can start the ride as one group and then split into a faster and a slower group if necessary.
Omlette Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 yeah i was alone (i know, STUPID), testing out lighting i got for the bicycling 24hr.but must say i ride by myself sometimes and never feel unsafe."benoni's da bomb!" i concur!!!wouldnt live anywhere else
Tumbleweed Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 no man, don't knock yourself out about riding alone. i do it too. hey, not doing what you love when you want and how you want to to is just wrong. don't give in. i spoke to someone yesterday who came out of a bikejacking much worse off than us combined. her indomitable spirit inspired me.
