chuck Posted May 3, 2010 Share As usual the victims will be called upon do their part. Ride in bigger groups, don't ride here or there, create policing groups and on and on and on. It's the same with crime in our suburbs. I put up a high spiked fence, I install an expensive alarm, I pay radio control room, I pay armed response, I stand guard over the cars parked at my house during my wifes classes, I watch my neighbors house but when somebody in my street gets killed we're told that the community should get involved to solve crime. WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY #$@# TAX MONEY! Should the government not be doing something or am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RudoJ Posted May 3, 2010 Share But then again, they can do whatever they want, they wont seperate the mountain bike from it's rider....NEVER. As BumpNgrind said "Im my own power, there is nothing i can do but when there is power in numbers like they like doing then something can be done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbaker Posted May 3, 2010 Share Everyone says we should do something, so lets get talking about ways to actually do something to make the routes safer instead of always venting (with good reason) our frustration.If we just carry on posting comments and expect something to be done by someone else, we are never going to sort the problem out... For example: A couple months ago I saw police cyclists on the spruit on two consecutive weekends, since then I have not seen them again. (I would be happy to ride with them for a couple hours on a weekend to increase their numbers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummibear Posted May 3, 2010 Share What if pepperspray makes them just more de blixem in?????????  In most cases it does.Just remember most of these bike snatchers have smoked dagga before they do this and peperspray has little effect on them may even provoke them to do more harm to you than they wanted to.

And you will realize how effective that stuff is. you can't see or breath. And two hours later your lips still burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shell Posted May 3, 2010 Share Die enigste oplossing is om aan te dring om die doodstaf terug te bring! As die kriminele egter die dood in die gesig staar, sal meer en meer sekuriteitsmaatskappye se werk verminder, wat die werkloosheid in ons land verhoog. Die regering in hul bullet proof karre verkies moord en dood bo werkloosheid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted May 3, 2010 Share Interesting if not comical scenario, rider gets stopped by a armed thug with gun leveled at him, rider says hang on a minute, reaches into his back pocket and pulls out pepper spray then attempts to spay thug. Any guesses as to outcome ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better armed with pepperspray than nothing and of course your life is worth more than a bike, but the point is I don't want to live in fear. Been there, done that, made me sick.
