one cyclist knocked down is one cyclist too many. Sometimes I wonder if helmets (and obviously we must wear them) actually depersonalise a cyclist from the motorist point; they seem to forget that a cyclist is also a human being, who happens to ride a bike.

when u r on a good day the hills seem like flats and the flats seem like tailwinds.

how hot is the sand in this place? and we think cape town gets hot. Very nice pics! Really makes me wanna go out there and ride till I puke.

& malkie. I like where you're at. That will confuse the bejeezers out of em. I actualy got a call from SARS. Guy told me I owed R32 000. Asked for ref no and the callers name, was told to call the info center, where I discovered I owed 67c. WTF?

I use look keo classics. no problems. good fedback from pedal, easy disengaging, sometimes little tricky clipping back in if pedal starts to spin. saw that look are releasing "Blades"? soon? they look nice.

hope all heals and the bike is ok

druks will faaark up your life. even sports drugs.

Is kil arny on this evening? Weather man is up to s**t again.

Lance at Epic is very helpfull, and shares knowlegde. Circle Cycles in Fish Hook circle also very good. But as a bike shop Olympic is it.

hi all. just back from working a 12 hour overtime shift and sad that I cannot be racing on sun beacause at that time I will be finishing a 24 hour shift - so in a way, my job is my kid. Or at least places similar time restraints on me as having a kid might. But i am sure that a child is way more fun. Wish my neighbour had sold those ZIPP 404 tubs to me for, like, nothing.

I am not the sunshine.. Cause if I thought I was then I would be like every othery man who thinks the sun shines outta there ass! All I am trying to do is make sense of why my neighbour went from the bike he had to a pastic clamshell kiddies pool thing in the space of one year. So it seems it is like one. Or the other. Or a bit of both, with some compromise. I like those odds.firewolf2010-02-04 09:33:48

Ahh so here we are only starting to brush the surface of the actually true value of the best bike argument. Like - what would would the best bike be that you can buy? If you did not have to actually consider stupid real life? Or the considerations of females? (And if they can beat you in a race its only cause they are secretly pro's just on the "Off Season")

So "Woman" are actually the cause of the problems?

anybody got Briko Stingers for me? The one with the blue lens?

Wow! Just when I thought I had actaully succeded in creating a topical Hub thread along comes an invitation to create an even more more topical thread.. Like . do woman actually get to comment on New Bikes and Unlimited Bike Racing? firewolf2010-02-04 09:10:51

Giving up for your kids? Is that where this goes? So.. Then.. hatching equals sacrifice. And the ultimate sacrifice for a bike racer is not to race. Like a surfer watching the swell of the week roll in and not being able to paddle out.

If you don't like the bike shop that much just don't go there. Ever. For anything. And be carefull of dissing them too much. Because wahtever bike shop you are with may think you are a fickle and demanding customer. And slightly slice through your brake cables when your bike is in for a "Service"

like the Johny Walker Add - Keep on Walking. So can it be for the aspirant father Add - Keep on Trying. Oh. And., umm, It acually is much better with someone else in the room with you at the same time though. Actually with you, not just standing close by.. Ha Ha

Sleepwalking is no excuse for promiscuity. So don't blame your offspring for stealing your pro contract/sub 3 Argus.

Astana what work do you do? Cause if it is half as boring as my job then you win.

Never say to a friend who is a dad what you would say to a passing 18 year old. Just don't.

Lets not forget the Hyperrrrrr - Rama plastic clamshell kiddies swimming pool thingy

When I was surfing I used to be taken in buy such romantic notions as "Fatherhood" and, "Passing things on" and such like. But then I was blessed to get back into the unforgiving arena of road racing, or also, more commanly known as the Western Cape PPA?League thingy, which quickly cured me of any sentimental leanings. Carbon vs Wierd green slime type of stuff coming from Baby's ass...

Anyway, because time martches on, right? Who of you can lay claim to the ultimate in fertility treatment aka the "The Brat" (who cometh oin the night to stealeth Dads toys) and have lost more than you bargained for?

@ Astane .. that is deep, man! Like... SHeeet firewolf2010-02-04 07:33:19
