  1. I have heard that you can trace your feet on a piece of paper and send it to the manufacturers for sizing, but I am not sure of this. Just need somebody to clear this up for me.
  2. I have a colleague at work whom is very small built and want to take up cycling (MTB I think). She cannot find any cycling shoe that fits as all the cycle shops tell her that the smallest size shoe they can get is a size 3. If I'm not mistaken she needs a size 1. Any one know where she can go for a pair of cycling shoes of that size or where she can order from or even have a pair made?
  3. did exactly that during the Barberton race last year, messed up my shoe very badly (heat build up was insane, almost burned my foot)... also used the foot on the ground method to slow me down a bit...
  4. luckily I wear a size 12...
  5. I get the idea that that bike was stolen somewhere as the seller sounds like he/she knows nothing about cycling...
  6. Klink na 'n baie lekker uitstappie...
  7. thats very bad...
  8. 1.87m 82kg 57 - 59cm Road bike
  9. Very nice and fast race yesterday... Started and finished with Cat2, but decided to let the guys and girls go for the sprint as I hit one of the cones while every body tried to get to the front for the sprint. Huge bunch that finished in the narrow finish section with a couple of guys dodging rouge cones as the flew/rolled in front of them... Other than that it was a great day for racing...
  10. I'm origanilly from Nelspruit so I don't know other roads beside Botha avenue and the ones Velo club rides are on... So I have to take my chances... (the ones Velo use are +- 17km from my house and my training time is limited)
  11. I was on the side of the road with more than enough space for the guy in his Navara to pass...
  12. happend a couple of months ago while cycling on Nelmapius past Rietvlei dam, and a guy shouted nasty words at me, and today just past Waterkloof airforce base... Also fumed but kept calm... afraid the oke will run me over...
  13. How would you react, or what would be the apropriate manner in which to act when somebody driving a 4x4 or any other vehicle for that matter, comes up behind you when your cruising at 40+km/ph on your drops while training and the guy hoots at you and gestures that you must get off the road??
  14. Can any one give me some names of good cycling clubs in the Centurion / Pretoria area? I am somewhat new to the Gauteng district and need to join a Gauteng club. Thanks in advance.
