  1. Fortunately i dont commute on Mondays, i dont have a waterproof pack or a suitable jacket. Which leaves me wondering what the rest of you use for those unexpected showers on the way to or from work
  2. See this i would understand as a valid excuse, when i was still a junior tech i would have to drive around the east rand all day. No chance of a commute
  3. even if there was only one reason to commute and a million not to, i would still ride my bike to work as much as i could. People in cars are weird
  4. Would a ride to and from the shops not be considered as a commute as well? ps: not sure if this has been asked before
  5. This is absolute gold
  6. On my way to work last week i was almost sandwiched by a dude in a polo who had just come past me on the right and proceeded to drift over towards the gautrain bus on my left. I have lights on the back and front so there was no way he didnt see me. banged on his passenger window a good few times to wake him up. Always amazes me how drivers have to over take just to stop suddenly 5 meters later.
  7. Ruined a pair on tuesday afternoon, Just missed the down pour so was left with the slosh.
  8. I bought my Fenix 3 off bikehub classifieds. This unit was bought in Zurich and I sent the info to Garmin Rosebank an d they confirmed that it's covered. So I doubt you will have any issues
  9. Do you commute with the Somec? I saw a guy on a retro bike near the westcliff stairs yesterday. Looked like he was about to go into cardiac arrest though
  10. Love your work man
  11. Also still waiting for payout. Phone today and was told that there has been no submissions since 2015, according to them mY profile was one of those affected by the whole IT issue and that they are currently working on restoring. I call bs.

  15. Yeah i thought thats the case but the total rides match
  16. Dude it was close i missed it by about 5 mins Crazy sandstorm going past gold reef city
  17. The total elevation on the leaderboard differs from my 2019 elevation gain on strava by almost 1000ft. Any reason for this ?
  18. On the board this morning after an 8km trail run. Awesome weather, the legs are going to noodle this afternoon though
  19. 13/365 as well Need to do a Run after work but i start my commute tomorrow will need to extend the route a bit in order to get a bit more TITS. The legs are feeling it after a weekend of riding and trail running so not too amped on the session later today
  20. Joined the club, nice short ride this afternoon
  21. My good grief this is so sad, had dealings with Tumbles in the past had no idea about any of this. RIP good man
  22. As much as this country pisses me off at times its things like this that make me proud
  23. Stans, never had reason to try anything else. Don't fix what aint broken, Although, i am running low so ill use some of these suggestions when the time comes just to see.
  24. Coudln't find anything regarding the NATO strap, any links? Been looking for alternatives for a while now and i need something that stays put. My watch is insured but its still basically brand new.
