  1. Yes please!! I will make another transfer Monday morning.
  2. Well my reasoning is as follows:- 1. It is safer 2. When the a second child arrives this may extend my tri career 3. In the long run you will save money - lower bike maintenance (no punctures / crashes) 4. You cannot be hijacked I believe the future of cycling lies with indoor trainers and riding only races
  3. The watt bike is very expensive.
  4. http://www.tacx.com/...rainers/ironman What do you think of this? The software looks awesome. Imagine racing your friends on Saturday mornings online. You can ride world wide routes with them... Also imagine how coaching will evolve by using this....... Limitless
  5. What is the best trainer money can buy? Has Tacx sorted out their software?
  6. Sometimes its a good idea to get on the bike as to get rid of the slime... 3 golden rules of training and being sick:- 1. Don't train if you have a fever 2. Don't train if your joints hurt (or your body is sore) 3. Don't train if your resting HR is 10 beats faster than normal When you do get back on the bike go ride solo at first. Riding with a bunch may force you to keep up. Listen to your body.
  7. Awesome. Come on hubbers lets all contribute. Rich can update us on thr progress.
  8. The general person have no idea what these people have to face every single day of their lives. Go read again what the message says and then go google this illness. We should bump up this thread to get at least 100 hubbers to donate. How lucky we are to ride our bikes and live a healthy lifestyle every day when this boy doesn't even have a wheelchair nor will he ever know what it feels like to cycle. Maybe change the heading "All hubbers please help" or something that will make the MTB'ers and Roadies to actually open and read this thread.
  9. http://www.tacx.com/en/products/trainers/ironman This is becoming more and more attractive...
  10. And texting while driving after a few doppe
  11. Well licenses or learners, all we ask is for them to open their eyes, look out for us and not to speed. I wonder how many cyclist have been killed in an accident when a car drove only 60km/hour
  12. And this my friend is exactly what is wrong with the world. No one cares about any other person. People always want to be first in line, start in front, be helped first, be advantaged themselves or do things to make THEMSELVES feel better. Road rage is people taking out their frustrations in life as a car empowers them to do this.
  13. Why cant the Lotto sponsor a 50km cycle lane loop outside all major cities
  14. He was hit by a car. The witness did not get the number plate. However, another couple earlier saw this guy riding very recklessly and then took a picture of his number plates so he will be reeled in soon enough. Maybe we should go to the court when this guy needs to appear - I wanna see what he looks like and hear what he has to say. I also believe we need stricter laws in terms of when nightclubs need to close. They should close by midnight by law. This will mean everyone have to go home. Bloem also needs roadblocks as we NEVER have any.... People aren't afraid to drive drunk here. People leaving a club at 5AM is a danger on the road especially for cyclists. Just look at how many robots / lamp poles / cars / lives get destroyed close to the 2 most prominent night clubs in Bloemfontein
  15. By the way Metzet how fast do you bike?
  16. Are you even faster now than at Midmar?
  17. Hi Rich I have transferred R226 and it will reflect tomorrow. DaveM how about we make it that the one with the slowest bike split between you and me on the official results donate another R226 to Rich?
  18. did a 6 hour ride on a virtual trainer on Friday. Was very impressed. Software and backgrounds needs a bit of work but this seems like a solution. Does cost R25k however.
  19. By the way, the Chech guy you rode with is a friend of mine. He told me bout this yesterday.
