  1. I think if its not fenced off you cant really enforce any kind of control as there are no visible boundaries? Then again fences and gates are also 'walking' off these days as well.... These tappets tend to spin it up crazy style around corners on the trail and it causes massive damage.. Then the rains come and before you can say WTF, its gully avenue everywhere... I know guys ride from Kdump to Randfontein to Magalies and back towards Kdump via the Cradle area again. Some have support groups that follow in the cars and then these guys braai and party wherever... And in true SA fashion they generally leave broken bottles, tins and plastic everywhere...
  2. After seeing a load of scramblers yesterday afternoon messing up the trail where I live I can understand the farmers point of view..These off roader muppets are now everywhere around here on weekends...They just annoy everyone and do FA else...... On the plus side it seems that the fatty quadders have been reduced in numbers since COVID.... Unfortunately a over used right hand and aggressive tyres just destroy the route...They dont care though...they think they are bad asses???? Ive also seen wire stretched across the path at chest level as well. For bikers or cyclists or pedestrians.... who knows.... Eyes open all the time these days....
  3. Crazy stuff... Police shot a driver accused of hitting at least nine cyclists during a road race event in Arizona and leading officers on a chase Saturday morning, according to authorities. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/officer-shoots-driver-accused-hitting-least-8-cyclists-arizona-road-n1271438
  4. Not been down this path since the start of black jack season sadly but I took a ride out there today as some of it has been cleared... It appears Magalies is not a place for those Maxed helmets......???? A nice warm ride before a weekend of cold again....
  5. Best to carry the passport though....impromptu border controls to keep the 'smarties' out can occur at any time on the West Rand....
  6. "Even out Randfontein side"... What are you saying here? Lol...
  7. Lol..I would have thought just inhaling it was the best value for money?
  8. I just dont get (well, as you say its family etc) why you would have such large shops with good stock and have floor staff who know less about cycling than my grumpy feral cat does. Just imagine if they took an interest and jacked up customer service/experience and employed a couple of decent mechanics....... I suppose they do OK though as even though we all grumble and grouse they are still in operation...! Or is that indicative of the level of new comers out there that havent been burnt yet by Cajees....????
  9. Its a shame really....if they staffed the shops with people who had an interest in cycling and knew the difference between a spanner and a hammer then I think they would be great shops... They seem to have a lot of stock on bikes as well as consumables.
  10. Correct me if I am wrong but doesnt this venue have cars/bikes stolen pretty often? Im sure I saw something a while back (like a couple of weeks ago) about a couple of cars going missing there as well? Or was that somewhere else? Were you parked outside the venue?
  11. And what a lovely warm day it turned out to be...I cycled at 11am and it was great to only have shorts and a T shirt on after a week of freezing and rain!
  12. Aaah, this explains the Caution:Cyclists signs I saw around town yesterday....
  13. Ja, those prices really are something else.
  14. I will have a look at those options thanks.
  15. A few years back I satarted messing around with Arduinos linked to my router/wifi and using relays to turn things on and off etc but life took over and the project collected dust...These Sonof things seem like a good buy though at the price?
  16. Have you used these Sonoff products? Are they any good for this sort of a set up? Or being able to activate lights/stereo etc when you are not home?
  17. If you move to Krugersdorp you can use TappetTalk....
  18. With them now heading to L4 loadshedding its probably best not to....
  19. Actually I got some pretty good gun advice from a member on here!
  20. There is also Carbonite....Gunsite...
  21. I dont find it particularly difficult to browse just using my Chrome browser on my little crappy Samsung...?
