Pedal Power CEO Neil Robinson said the attackers are often armed and dangerous.
“On November 2, four attacks were reported, two in Pretoria East and Bronkhorstspruit. The others were in areas between the R21 and the Red Barn [in Irene]. Groups of eight to 12 riders were attacked so riding in numbers is not deterring the perpetrators.
“On November 18 a cyclist was shot and passed away in Pretoria East towards the Bapsfontein/Delmas Road,” said Robinson.
A cyclist was recently shot twice in the Tweefontein/Bronkhorstspruit area close to the pig farm. He is recovering.
