Absolute respect to the man. I was lucky enough to catch the footage of him receiving the polka dot jersey.. with real tears streaming down his face.. well done to him on so many levels!

and again seriously.. how the hell do you guys do that little box thing around the quote thing????

Yes thats right! But according to the add all darks are blood sucking goths.. Have not encountered many goths at shack fires in gugs...

Aha... like the wrong way to spell NOOB (PC uncorrect according to my Bra Julias who claims that OMO is rasict because it makes whites whiter, coulereds brighter, but ... Ok what does it do for the .. um... OTHERS on the color spectrum>???? I wanna be a NOOBY CHIPY :lol:

I once had "recoil shock": in my neck region because the ass of the woman jogging by on the Atlantic Seaboard was just so fine. Does that count?

@Tnt1.. DUDE!!! The pic really shows just how close that "member" was to impaling the poor guy in a very unfortunate spot. Seriously though.. I am a rescue worker by profession.. if that pole was at an angle that was 45 degrees on to his approach... DAMM!!!!!!!! Right through him!

Mods is, of course, the only PC method of referring to Olds, who in their heyday might have had the foresight to bring a second wheel along for the ride; also known as the spare wheel. Or the ball and chain. AKA the girlfriend/wife. Who quickly ensured that the Mod became a Slave and that was the end of any release through repeated application of pressure to the pedals.

The only correct response when challenged by this kind of question is to feign indifference and continue with the application of a skin friendly glue to ensure that the uppermost line of the Euro-pro length socks and the lowermost line of the Euro-pro bib shorts remains in place in all situations so as to ensure a continual DEEP TAN line as we ride stupid amounts of kilometers across the existential roadie divide.

Noob? WTF is a Noob?

Aw no man! So sorry to hear of your loss, and of course your stress! Robbery sure sucks. Hope you find a good way out of this one. Stay strong.

Can you imagine the response of motorists when we do not use the lanes? It won't be good. In addition, those who consider the lanes "for the elite" are further fueled to attack us. We moan all the time for safer cycling conditions; yet when we get them some of us still do not use them. Mmmmmmmm....

Porn is just another name for instructional video. And the actors are called "Stars". Which means they are obviously talented. I know a guy who watched one of these instructional videos and he said that he saw things that no man should see again. So on the second round he kept his eyes closed and just let the sounds, um, ease him through the experience .

35. All podium shots (“pictures”) shall be taken while wearing one’s team kit and appropriately matching casual euro shoes (such as Pumas). Socks shall remain within the guidelines above. One is expected to display an appropriate degree of bulge while receiving kisses/trophies. The bulge may vary according to the outlandishness/impracticality of the victory prize (e.g. livestock and/or enormous cheese wheels). Any admiration of other riders "bull knuckles" should be kept a closely guarded secret as it might lead to unpleasant advances within the peleton. Most unpleasant of these advances would be the advancement of the admired rider's fist. A fist in the neck is never a fun experience. A fist in the neck is sore. And the rejection of the admiration is embarrassing and might lead to a personality meltdown causing a slow and evil realization that wearing lycra is not a reason to be checking out other men's bulges. The bulge is for the ladies as you stand next to your machine at the start/finish area. And the bulge should never, ever, include any wood!

awhile back, before the lanes, I was nearly taken out by a truck close the boundry road side. I did not go back to ride there for longest time.. until the lanes that is. They rock! And give the rider a unique perspective of the paarden eiland industrial area. I can just get into a meditative state and not freak out about cars. And heading back into the city, with the drivers stuck in traffic, is the best feeling!

I am actually trying to bring up Mr Waters post in as many posts as possible - just to illustrate a certain mind set that might actually lead to more deaths of thoe who ride bikes>\.

I am a rider. I am also an Emergency Worker. Mr Waters threw something out there. You figure out where i am coming from.

Mr Brian Waters might hit you cause you causing a traffic jam..

Mr Waters .. perhaps his aim... Is to take a cyclist out!

You see Mr Brian Waters.. no matter what *** you come up with to "BAN CYCLISTS FROM CERTAIN ROADS" we will still gather to discus the correct price of bibs. And gloves.

Nice one crow!

The Euro-pro wannabe should never concern themselves with making friends. The Euro-pro wannabe must at all time strive to look cool. And to copy all he sees while watching the TdF.

The correct procedure is to first make sure all the logo's on your water bottles are facing to the same side as you slowly drift up to a few bike lengths from the last guy in the line. Secondly, ensure that your socks are the correct height as specified in the Euro-pro handbook. Then, as you drift into the pace-line, reach out with your left hand and gently touch the guy on the right hip/buttock so as to indicate that he is crossing over into your line; and that he, not you, should adjust accordingly. If he gives you the "evil eye" take it as a sign of his admiration and respect for your Euro-pro technique. Ride past him and repeat the procedure until you are at the front of the line. Ignore the verbal abuse along the way. They are just testing you. Begin to accelerate until you are full gas! Keep full gas for at least 1km, then raise your right hand up as you slowly pull off to the left and as the pace-line guns past you pull out your cellphone and answer in an Italian accent. When they all turn to stare at you smile apologetically so they understand you will be unable to continue leading them. Point to the cellphone and mention an Italian sounding woman's name. Wipe the spit from your expensive Euro-pro sunglasses.

Man I have lost count of the taxis that have done just this; one incident in Fish Hoek I stopped and confronted the driver. He made to open his door, I whacked his door closed, he jumped out and made as if to reach for "something?!?" inside his jacket pocket making a "come on then" gesture. I buggered off. He rode past and we both looked straight ahead. So I think he was bluffing, but still.

bottom line - we gotta keep the eyes on our eyes open and the ears on our ears open and ride to stay alive.
