Hahaha. Vertically challenged ???? I'll have to check the roof fitting before I purchase. Thanks for making me aware of the height issue.

Excellent advice. Our batteries remove very easily. Practicing is a great way to check. I spoke to Thule. They suggested a little stool to stand on next to the car. But as you said the mini is not very high. Appreciated. ✌️

Hi I want to be able to carry two ebikes with my Countryman. Should be 40kg total if batteries are removed. I occasionally use my Ebikes but want to know I can tag it along if I want to. I am aware of these options: 1. Roof rack. Difficult to get ebikes on the roof. Least expensive. I can justify the cost easily but getting the ebikes on roof is another story. 2. Attach a carrier to the back. Thule has a raised carrier at R10990. 3. Towbar plus carrier is the ultimate solution. But my little use does not justify the cost. What do you suggest?

Good questions. She should answer these. I send this link to her. Appreciated. ✌️

True. I'll be send he here. ????

Hi Chris Here it is. Small group with a lot of experienced travelers. https://www.facebook.com/groups/sacycletouring/?ref=share

Hi We have a Facebook group on cycle touring in Southern Africa. Kimberley Jacobs joined the other day and asked, I will be traveling to South Africa (staying in Cape Town) from July 22-August 3. And I will be bringing my gravel bike. I would love to connect with some people in the area and maybe do some rides. I suggested she get out of the city to Stellenbosch, others side of Durbanville etc. Can she do parts, easy bits of Tokai and Table Mountain - if her gravel bike can do it? Let me know what I can tell her. Regards Johan

I wonder how the lock down will affect our cycling. If I cycle alone it may not be an issue but how do authorities control movement? I suppose the easiest is to stop all movement.

Hi I am considering importing an ebike motor from AlieExpress. And looked into the options. Leonard at http://www.relectro.co.za/ build batteries and do ebike conversions. He is amazingly helpful.
