Well said MintSauce!!!!

Doping and cheating has always been part of TdF. Riis lost his title for something that he did 10 years ago. It has no bearing on cycling today. At least it's becoming more difficult to dope these days.

Jipeee! Go John-Lee! Go John-Lee! Go John-Lee! Go John-Lee!

NO Pokerface' date=' don't go there, you deserve better!!!!! Remember it's only last year's Specialized with new stickers on!!![/quote'] Jy bly maar 'n Specialized fan! Dis tyd dat jy vir jou ene kry.

Riis is doing, and has been doing a lot against doping in the sport of cycling in his position of DS of CSC. Getting rid of him is actually taking one step forward (for the blood thirsty people), but taking 3 steps back for fighting drugs in cycling today. How will punishing Riis 10 years down the line help cycling today? But use somebody with inside knowledge to fight drugs, because he knows how the mindset works on both sides makes a lot of sense. Let's stop kicking the people who are down and rather get effective ..or rather more effective ways of fighting this problem in cycling.

I agree 100%. Very good point!

Hierdie bike sal my 'n TREK fan kan maak.

It sounds like it not only the doping that made Cofidis quit. It was getting too expensive for them. It almost looks like they are using the doping as a excuse to quit the sponsorship, when actually they didn't want to loose face saying it's too much money.

My MTB skills is nog nie goed genoeg om my seeding te verbeter nie. Ek bly maar vir nou in C. Doen jy die TransBaviaans?

Well Done LILO!!!!

Well Done Marius!!!

Dude - doen n bietjie werk vir n slag... Los vir FanieFiets. Hy spaar baie van ons baie tyd, oordat hy vir ons ge-check het wanneer die Argus op superseeding kom.

Jy het BAIE hard geval FanieFiets. Dit sal tyd vat. Willehond het nou nog pyne van sy val op daai draai. Sterkte en vat dit rustig. PokerFace2007-06-01 06:20:07

...omdat MTBing SO LEKKER is.

Want jy vergeet om te draai as daar klippe in jou pad is?

Don't buy a department store MTB. Go to bikeshops and ask what they have for your budget. Make a spreadsheet and compare. I also think a bike under R3000 is most likely going to provide you with more frustration than fun (there could be exceptions). Additional equipment: Helmet (not the R100 special at Makro). Water bottles & cages OR Hydration pack (more expensive than water bottles). Saddlebag, shoes and pedals (if you want to go with clip-in pedals (well worth it). Gloves, cycling shorts (you do get baggy cycling shorts with padding). Glasses. And all the nice goodies in your local cycle shop...MTBing is SO MUCH fun. Good choice of sport!

I do race over weekends, but not every week. I did about 1000km of races in the past year.

I commute from Durbanville to town. The time it takes me to commute by bike is not much longer than by car. The bonus is, that I spend time riding that does not interfere with family time. If I commute 2 - 3 times a week I can clearly feel and see the progress of my fitness/riding. The only problem is that it is more challenging to follow a training program. You have to be very sharp in traffic. The first few times can be nerve wrecking, but you get used to it and almost develop a 6th sense as to what vehicle around you want to do.

Fantastic!!!! This is awesome news.

Dankie FanieFiets. Dis goed om te weet.

What is this about a report button?
