Residents are still seeing repeated dangerous-looking rider behaviour, not meaningful control.
On Sunday evening, 31 May 2026, after another weekend of repeated Checkers Sixty60 delivery-bike noise, a resident observed another loud BigBoy Velocity 150 on the residential route. This is not about one or two bikes. Residents are repeatedly seeing riders blast through the stop street or slow only minimally, which is also why the detection model misses some passes: the bikes do not remain in frame long enough when riders do not slow properly.

Evidence note: this update is based on direct resident observation. It records a repeated pattern residents report seeing at this stop street. No rider is named or personally identified.
It is Sunday evening, and affected residents are again dealing with the same problem: repeated Checkers Sixty60 delivery-bike noise through a residential street that should not be carrying this level of commercial delivery traffic.
After hearing another loud bike approaching, a resident went outside to check what was happening. The bike could reportedly be heard from roughly 200 metres away before it reached the house. It was observed as a BigBoy Velocity 150, the same model residents have repeatedly raised as unsuitable for high-frequency residential delivery routes.
This is a pattern, not an isolated rider
The rider appeared to slow only minimally at the stop street before continuing. Residents report that this is not unusual. A lot of the bikes using this route appear to approach the stop street too fast, slow too little, and continue through the residential area with no visible sign that behaviour is being controlled.
This also affects the evidence. The detection model misses roughly one in four bikes in these conditions because riders who do not slow properly pass through the camera view too quickly. In other words, poor behaviour on the road is one reason the public count can understate the actual number of passes.
Public statements are not matching street reality
Checkers, Shoprite, and senior leadership have made public statements about responsible delivery operations and looking at rider behaviour. Residents are not seeing those statements translate into control on this road.
If the bikes have trackers, then Checkers Sixty60 and its delivery partners should be able to identify repeated shortcut use, stop-street behaviour, speeding risk, harsh acceleration, and noisy routes through residential streets. If they can see it and nothing changes, that is a choice. If they cannot see it, then the public reassurance is not enough.
From the resident perspective, the current response looks like brand management, not meaningful mitigation. The noise continues. The shortcut continues. The stop-street behaviour continues. The burden remains on residents.
The ask is still simple
- Move high-frequency Checkers Sixty60 delivery-bike traffic onto main roads wherever possible.
- Stop using loud BigBoy Velocity 150 motorbikes for repeated residential delivery routes.
- Use tracker and route data to enforce safer, quieter residential behaviour.
- Provide residents with a concrete mitigation plan and a responsible escalation contact.
- Treat repeated weekend and evening noise as an operational failure, not a private inconvenience.
Residents do not need more public messaging. They need quieter streets, safer-looking rider behaviour, and proof that Checkers Sixty60 and its delivery partners are actually controlling what happens on the bikes.
