If Narra was there with you ... you might have aired you view ... he he

I thought he tried to look back and then drove into the middleman

I would never .. did you hear me this morning... that is also why I sat at the back most of the time

Just want to know if anyone know the MTB rider that fell this morning at HP and Jim Fouche at the robot? In Welteverdenpark.

So I want to know, Do I spit out my "phlegm" when no one is looking or swallow it ? Is it lady like to do this as it make a great deal of noise .... Sometimes it's hard to swallow it and I'm not always alone to spit it out... what do other people do... What to do in a race when there are people all over ??

Narra got hit on Friday.He didn't get hurt and the BIKE is FINE .. they only thing he was worried about. He landed on the bonnet of the car, the guy was on his cell, he said he didn't think Narra was going so fast.

I don't have a MTB need to master the road first. he he Thanks.

are you going out tomorrow morning ?

I'm female...no intention of taking the wife .. hehe! If there is anyone out there in the northern suburbs that want to out on Mondays & Wednesday mornings at 4:30am ? Please let me know... I do about 40km ... for the time being ... I can't keep with the cycle lab group that leaves from main rd.

We have been cycling together for almost 2 months. He sometimes wants to cycle next to me, this worries me for obvious reasons. When he cycles in front of me, he is most of the time doing so in the middle of the road and he seems to forget that he needs to share the road with the rest. On at least 3 occasions I have seen his life flash before my eyes...lol.. . I can?t baby sit the guy...but I keep on telling him to be more careful and get out of the middle of the road and to watch for the cars & taxi's when he is next to me. I?m friends with his wife and have no idea what I will say to her if he gets knocked down by a car. What to do ?. Just let him be? and get us both killed? Jinx2007-02-01 08:06:24

Thanks ! I don't go by myself we are two people... not that it really help.. but anyway.. We in the north Fourways and does about 30km in the morning Mondays and Wednesdays & Saturdays .. I'm not that fast yet and average about 17km/ph so if there are any other newbies out there that wants to join us just let me know

He he So true .. I reported it just in case he does knock a cyclist of on purpose... But ja .. not that it would help

I'm new at this whole cycling experience. So a few times I decided to sleep late on Saturdays and go out cycling around 6:30am . What a bad idea . I have only been on the road for a month and encountered the following: 5:30 am - A spiteful taxi driver trying purposely to knock me of my bike . I was standing still next to the road looking for on coming cars as I wanted to cross the road to turn. He drove up to me and made me climb of my bike. I didn't want to cause trouble and did so ... but I wasn?t very happy.. WHY is all I can ask my self? Not that it would help .. It was a white Toyota Venture (Ain't they all) Registration number: RSL296GP. 6:00 am - A black Audi A4 almost hit two pedestrians on the other side of the road and swerve out directly coming towards us . There was not time to go anywhere I just froze; he swerved back unto the road just in time. Later: Don't you find it amusing how confused old people get when they see a cyclist..? I don't know if this is a good thing as they cause such traffic jam trying to avoid us that all the other cars on the road think it is us that is causing it... I truly try to stick to the rules on the road . Come Saturday or weekdays I wake up at 4 am to be on the road by 4:30am desperately trying to avoid the traffic. So any tips?

Thanks to everyone ! I'm in Fourways, been doing Witkoppen and Main road. Let my chat to my cycle buddy another newbie he cycles with me and we will make a plan! I have never attempted 50km but there is a first time for everything I suppose.

Hi I have beencycling for a month or so already. This is the first time that I have attempted any exercise In 8 years .So my fitness level is practically on 0. I am going out every 2nd morning and waking up at 4am during the week, to miss the traffic. Ido about 20km each time and it takes me about an hour. The hills in JHB is killing me , but I?m sure one ofthese days things will go allot better. Good luckto those newbies out there that are brave enough to do 50km maybe I?ll get there someday.
