So I’m from the soufern suburbs, but ride that side probably 12-15 times per year. We typically ride in a group of 5 or more riders. We are not on the WhatsApp group. we’ve seen many dodgy people walking about but haven’t had any dodgy experiences yet. Our approach is to as soon as one is spotted we shout loud for everyone including the perp/s to hear that we note their presence. eg. Watch this guy on left with red on the left, or this group walking looks dodgy.

Some of the areas in the southern suburbs have “panic buttons” on cycling and running routes linked to the predominant armed response/neighborhood watch for that area. Works well if and when well monitored. hellshoogte would be a great candidate for such an initiative, but it comes down to the residents to request it via the armed response/neighborhood watch once they agree they need to lobby and get the councilor to motivate for the approval for the infrastructure to be put in place. Could be a long and dramatic exercise. short answer would be “panic button apps” like ADT had snd “Namola?”. But those are subscription based per user and afaik not taken up by too many cyclists. (At least not from my cycling circle) Awareness and visibility of policing will help until the perps learn the routine. cant ride with a weapon coz that just makes the situation escalate even quicker and become more risky.

How can it be? Ignore possibly but, We can’t opt out? So we don’t really have a choice.

yassis.. that short shorts looks dangerous.. 😅 But that speedo on his head 👀

One would think at R295k they’d do something smarter or better with the brake cables I mean if it’s about evolution at least make it look like it evolve besides throwing technolology at the shock, making it lighter, etc 🫣🥹🤣🤣🤣

Thank you 👌🏻🤲

This is a forum, topics are created for discussion. People are sharing their experiences and view. You get people for and against, some are undecided and some get persuaded to change their original view through the comments and experiences that others have shared. That’s how a forum works. But in your scenario the potential buyer is a reseller and wants to sell it for a profit regardless of what fair value is whether it’s perceived or true. In most cases items are listed slightly below market value already. Offering half of that without being willing to pick up the phone and instead dropping “bulk spam lowball offers” to everyone and then waiting for a bite speaks to the nature of taking advantage of a possible challenging situation the seller is in. Willing buyer willing seller vs willing buyer financially challenged seller. everyone is welcome to their opinion, either you have something constructive to and contribute. If not then carry on to the next thread.

If they really wanted it so badly why not give people a call and show real interest instead of copy pasting ridiculous offers and waiting for someone in what could be a compromised financial position and screw them over. If they selling at 10% more then maybe they making cycling more accessible, but allas it points to profiting off others and taking advantage of people. ive got offers from them for a complete bike for the amount I could get for selling the frameset alone. but their model is to take advantage of desperate people. Others will ignore and post threads like this. Desperate people will accept the offer and get deeper into a hole with less money in hand.

True to its nature/profile, Hospital bend and suiker looks like it’s giving you the middle finger 🫣

Must do a petition 🥷 Bell Airs and MJC must go look for moon first 😅

I trimmed it and stuck it to my head tube 👌🏻

This bike here seems to be the problem, hovering in mid air with no rider on it. 🫣
