linnega Posted August 11, 2010 Share Nowhere safe to ride alone in this country? I beg to differ. I think there are a few hotspots to avoid and you'll be fine in the rest.Either it is safe to ride alone in this country, or I've been super lucky for the last 25 years.

covie Posted August 11, 2010 Share I'm with the nowhere in SA is safe, even hotspots were "safe" before some criminals decided to target it. Those of us who havent been mugged/robbed have simply been lucky. Just read the bikejack threads on the hub which I am sure you all have. Granted crime is less in some area's than in others but syndicates move and chancers are everywhere. Yes be a vigilent as possible, and try and be as safe as possible. But the bottom line here is never leave a friend behind if you are riding in a group. Too many things can just go wrong, and you proving your super powers on the last KM is not worth the risk. If you would like to prove your superhuman cycling ability do it once the group has finished the ride so you take all the risk on yourself.

PhilipV Posted August 11, 2010 Share So no need to file the missing person report then. Talking of the IR cameras, a buddy of mine came across a couple of on the freedom challenge, apparently they had a bit of fun by jumping in front of them and pulling faces.
