Mountain sancturay is lovely for camping, hikes, swim, kloofing. The mountainbike trails inside are a bit technical - big loos rocks technical. could possibly cycle from the campsite towards breeds or the hotel on dirt roads.

I have shimano pedals that clip on the one side, and flat on the other side - I've been using this combo for many years, and I find that I less and less need to clip in when I'm on the dual. On the hardtail it's more interesting going downhill when I'm not clipped in, so I do. The flat pedals allow me to try far more technical stuff than what I would if I was clipped in. It may just be in my head, but for me it's working.

A lovely place to take newbies to. Some excitement, but mostly fun. And coffee http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JuJJ9NfQOss/UVbpx8mW1_I/AAAAAAAABT0/8Eey9ove4Yg/s1600/DSCF6708.jpg

Beware ... it's addictive

Enjoy it!!!

As jy 'n 29er ry, ry jy ten minste nie meer 'n fietsietjie nie

Look at this link: http://www.trans-provence.com/guideweek.shtml - riding the trans Provence route, but not racing it It's on my ever-growing to-do list.

working on it on my commute

I've been caught out by a car like this once - most likely very much slower than Burry was going. The driver (in my case) claimed he didn't see me ... in broad daylight with a luminous yellow jacket. By the time you realise the car's intentions, it's too late to do anything. My guess is that the driver totally misjudged the speed at which Burry was coming.

TubeHunter, the motorists behind such a bunch will not care about your maths. They will get irritated. motorists will percieve this as zero consideration ... Would it not be easier to search for and train on safer roads?

an eyewitness report in this article http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/kwazulu-natal/cyclist-s-wife-cradled-him-at-scene-1.1447719#.UOmMw-TNZ8E

what is the 'required action'? what should they do do get the desired outcome?

like he said: starts with me. when driving: typing on a cellphone while driving? taking a call or searching for a number while driving? driving 80 in a 60 zone? when cycling: making eye contact with any driver that may be a threat assume that i am invisible showing respect. acknowledge drivers when they see me at an intersection and give me way, even if I had right of way to start with

Lee - what exactly is the difference? In one case someone died and in the other not? We cannot demand respect from drivers if we don't show it to them. Mutual respect.

In Burry's case, it sounded like the vehicle made a right-turn in front of him? What is the biggest danger when on a bike?

I saw several calls for a 1.5m law on twitter. How would a 1.5m law make our roads safer? How would a law like that be enforced? (when was it 140cm, and when was it 160cm?) What else could authorities possibly do to prevent more accidents?

I ride with flat pedals on one side, and clips on the other side. It works for me - I can clip in when i want to, and I have the freedom to try technical stuff above my ability if i want to. The flat sides have little stick-out thingies which makes my soles grip nicely on them - it's rubber soles, so the are flexible, dont slip, and can grab the pedals, enabling me to do a bunny-hop without being clipped in best of both.

Wow ... so sad. RIP Burry

Schwynn - ek konnie uitfigure hoee om die fotos hier te pos nie. ek't 'n fotoalbum gemaak hier: https://www.bikehub.co.za/gallery/album/1234-dark-dirty-jinglebellride-2012/

Thx Guys and Girls ... was a lovely ride!!!

tar? eeeeeeuuuuwwwwww!!!!!

Awww the compo closed on Friday so now i can't post pictures of the Great Glenn Way with my panniered bike on what must be the world's best singletrack ... or pictures of my bike in the snow on top of one of the Lhasa-Kathmandu-Mountain passes .... or my commute through the spruit ... or Mankele bushtunnels ... or die foresty-piece on the Van Gaalens Daggapad ... or hunting for old castles in Ireland ... or cycling through tulips in Holland. Just as well ... I wouldn't have been able to choose a 'best'

Lots of hugs, Dusty. Look well after your other half, and enjoy it cant wait for you guys to come back so that I can hear the stories. ps and try not to break a wrist this time, ok?

If it's my light you saw, I was commuting from Ferndale through the spruit to Parktown. I'm the big packpack and the bigger grin in delta park

there are less technical trails. a huge variety - twisty forest tracks, some bridgies, a playground, long climbs, and mindblowing downhills. Sure Alex from Roc & rope would be able to explain to you where to ride. Or get hold of Glenn to show you around. Or just invite me for a weekend
