ABC - adders, boomslang,cobra. (and types thereof) CHN - cytotoxic heamotoxic, neurotoxic. Forward facing fanged and backward forward snakes must be removed in direction of fangs. (Like anyone is gonna take the freaking time to check snakies teef, right?) I have seen them whilst descending on tafelburg road (as a roadie) and everytime its just as I round a corner, and everytime I picture this long venom sack leaping up and biting into my calf where it hangs on while I pedal, screaming, down to a hospital, and everytime I feel my asshole clinch tighter than any bodies ass ever should.

are the wheels of justsice starting to turn? albeit slowly?

i like that beer is addicted to you. maybe I will drink less beer that way.. but no matter what I try I just cannot seem to go more than four days without... and that is on a a good day.

all roads in cape town in the summer are either into the south easter or with the south easter. unless the south easter is pumping. like last year. then all roads in cape town are f**ked. and all cyclists will cry. I will be one of them.

joggers are like a hip replacement... not fun, but a necessary evil when one gets older.

sorry do not have any spares but when one pedal broke a while back (look Keo classic) I took it in to my LBS. They sent it to the dealer upcountry, who fixed it. I had to pay postage.

buy 2cnd hand. for same money you can get a better, lighter, better spec'd ride.

@GreyOwl3.0. It is because I lost it that I know it's better to stay in control. Experiance is a good teacher.

do white people ever attack cyclists?

peper spray is assault even if in self defence.. it is a situation that might have a vey bad outcome - like he comes back next time with a gun. and after you have sprayed him you might not actually feel that comfortable having done such a violent thing to somebody. its not like in the movies - you need to be pretty emotionaly tough to deal with it. use the legal resources at your disposal to deal with him.

Can the new Ultegra 6700 STI be mated with the older Ultegra front and rear deraliers? Has anybody tried this? Was the shifting affected?

Whenever something negative happens on a ride I try to remind myself that He who anger's you controls you, and let it go. Getting angry and shouting just makes me feel worse. But keeping a blank face and staying in control as the motorist/runner,dog/whatever goes off or apologises is the best. I heard about an incident here in the cape where a female cyclist tazered a motorist, then calmly tok out his car keys and rode away.

STILL.. JUST PADDDLE padle, then over the lip, then down the face, then in the bowle, then ... man that stupid SIDI dude from the argus will never know what su,rfing is like.

just ride them over. Ok.? Cause fire will claim all comers> but a wave. That is something else1

what exactly, is a halo?

have you ever been held under by three waves and then still paddle out for the wave of the day?

but if you "own" a dog then not having it on a leash will make sense. Like if you "own your body" then pushing it to its max on a bike will make sense. Or if "you own a piece of land"then getting into a fight over it will also make sense.

this is the truth! we all want to use the road/trail/whatever... just use it and go around the others who are also using it... it's not f**king rocket science! Mojoman ya all hitting the nail on its head.

carry a small blade and learn a few threatening sounding japanese words.

runners are people who can't afford bikes.

can you eat it?

man so typical "kom skom". those dudes should really just stick to what they do best - which is charging the big wave reefs scattered around their backyards. Big Outers or Die Trying.

i suppose that sometimes they cut, uhh, I mean resupliment their supply, with bi-carb. Also this new wonder product called ratx.. I think it is something like met-rex, only it makes blood move faster.

just ride into the runners. whoever gets up first, wins.

pack one bottle of water and toss it with a nonchalant euro-pro attitude as you coast down the other side of hospital bend and as you celebrate not being sucked into any crashes turn left at as the road splits. As the rest of the"racing pack" heads out for Simon's Town and the South Easter you can now free wheel down into the bohemian suburb of Obs, where you will be encouraged to top up with bottle after bottle, whilst riding, standing, sitting or laying prone on the ground. They are niether strict nor fussy.
