The Ouzo

I take issue with this headline, it was not a "freak" accident, you are supposed to look at what traffic is coming your way BEFORE opening your car door. The way the headline is worded absolves the motorist of all responsibility. RIP to the cyclist and strength to the family.

and only the upper end iPhones

I would not even rate their reviews to be honest. They normally ask for a review straight after you've bought the product, so unless its totally crap straight out the box, you'll normally see a good review

no way I'm strapping an expensive iphone my bars though.

I've tried the surgical gloves under normal gloves, on a short 17km ride, got to work and poured the sweat out the surgical gloves like it was coming out a cup. And then my fingers were also doing that wrinkly thing they do when you've been in water for to long.

The problem is, you larnie guys in Cape Town get the beautiful snow and rains and only send the wind up to us, by the time is gets through the karroo and free state everything but the bone chilling cold has been stripped from it. Oh and by 5:30 I’m almost done with my ride, you capies always wake up so late 😄

thanks, I jumped onto their website earlier and they only had the ciovita ones, but like you say, with mycycelife rewards, if they still have these watz ones I wont pay anything.

we initially struggled to get into yellowstone, was a bit slow going initially, but we eventually landed up binge watching it.

thanks for the offer. Will try a few "hacks" first and take it from there.

these cold winter morning rides helps keep things to a more manageable size

there certainly is something about these "offroad supercars" that has me rather liking them

@Simon123 get off the hub and go back to screaming at the lighting guys. I thought you didnt have time to argue on the hub today

This is why I only have an edge 130, did not want to have to tie it in a knot to fit into my bibs

Apple dont yet make a bicycle head unit

click the Garmin logo top left corner, it will reload the home screen, then top right login. It does that to me every now and then, possibly something in the cache that needs to update.

I'm more shocked that people take the reviews and star ratings on a manufacturers own website, about their own product, as credible

thanks guys, looks like Toe Caps is the way to go. Cant believe that such a small piece of neoprene can cost so much though.

This is the setup I had this morning

I need a job that supports my cycling obsession, period. Its a challenge with the current job just to keep the maintenance up on the equipment I already have, let alone getting new equipment. But, I actually prefer morning rides, by the time the afternoon rolls around I've had time to thing of a million excuses not to go out on the bike.

Yesterday my toes were aching from the cold, so this morning I put little plastic bags over my socks before putting my feet in my shoes. This worked great for a while, but then my feet started to sweat and the sweat had nowhere to go, the sweat then got cold and my toes got cold again. Not nearly as bad as yesterday but not ideal. Especially seeing as though the temps did not drop below 3deg this morning. Other than buying booties, what other options can I experiment with ? I'm going to try the 2 pairs of socks option next.

I wonder if its not the hardness of the water in different areas thats causing the issue.

My current KMC X11 on my road bike is sitting on 12 600km and not showing signs of wear. I only wipe it off and lube every 200 odd km. nothing more.

+1 for BL

If you're keen, I'm at the Boksburg dealership, can introduce you to the bike guys here. Sandton Honda is about to move in with Renault Bryanston, I'm not sure if bike will be joining them or going somewhere else.

never used to be an issue, but then the cops in the dorpies on the way down to CPT wised up and now WILL stop you if you dont have a plate. They will even turn their car around and follow you to check.
