We are primarily a news based site so expect to be informed, you can still go to the local pub or the hub for you regular dosage of abuse. twitter is definately an effective way to keep informed so look for our sites twitter feed too

Awesome, thanks... i'll get in contact with them as we still have one or two spots open for contributors in the photography department.

Launch of site is penciled in for 11 January... the monday before the first MTN Marathon race of the year. It may be sooner though so watch this space!!!

Ah yes... and thanks Phen. Is the 'KOB' that you are refering to, Mr King of Bling the photographer? He and Michelle both take some awesome shots at races... Are they on the HUB?

And there no reason why they cant advertise on the new site as well... Good point Scotty

You can expect this site to be associated with the hub in all ways possible, crow. and besides is the hub not the centre of cycling in south africa already???

Hey Guys... Just a heads up here!!! Some inside scoop on a brand new cycling website that will be launched in the new year. The site will cover all things cycling in South Africa... Road, MTB, BMX, Track, Free Riding. From the site you can expect: The site will cater for 3 different avenues, your serious cyclist (a cyclist who races and likes all the latest tech etc), your fun-free-extreme cyclist (a cyclists who likes to laugh.. alot! and just enjoys their bike) and then your social cyclist (a cyclist who maybe does 2-3 races a year but actually prefers to just ride 20km to a local coffee shop and socialise with friends) All the latest news, photos and videos from local riding/racing in South Africa. Columnists (sports physiologists, coaches, bike mechanics etc) writing pieces. Rider diaries from top road, mtb and bmx professionals as wel as from the ''average joe'' rider. Rider, Team and cycling personality interviews live race commentary from selected races in South Africa Tracking of all our riders racing abroad with their race results, race calendar etc Scandal within the South Africa cycling community A social network connecting all riders in South Africa, where you will be able to share photos, videos, your views and opinions. Live online chat with pro riders, cycling personalties, training and coaching specialists as wel as with your friends. Disscussion boards There are also a few races that the site have plans to organise including a road stage race, pro exhibition race (150km short circuit style race) and a mass participation race- 100km for the public and 170km for the invited pro teams. These races are all sponsor dependent. Bike tours will also be organised by the site for you and your friends, or you may join some local pros and cycling personalties on rides all over the country. Riding hot spots Safe cycling campaigns Countless prizes and competitions to win And much much more... So this is just a slight taste as to what the cycling community can expect from "the real cycling media" If you have any comments, questions or ideas please feel free to msg me.
