  1. Nice to know, even though this has been a year from hell for me, my annus horribilis.
  2. What are the odds that a year ago today I arrived in Cape Town and was greeted by a glorious rainbow, this morning on the way into work by bicycle I had the joy of another stunning full rainbow.
  3. I watched that a few weeks ago, been telling loads of people how to do this, lol.
  4. I'm coming up to Durban next weekend if you want me to get you some while I'm there?
  5. Didn't Verimark used to do a magic pen for leather?
  6. Thinking about it, the best bet would be at a cobblers
  7. I scuffed my brand new white shoes the first time I got on my road bike for the first time, felt like crying
  8. The iRide as mentioned is a good beginner mechanics course. There is nobody else that I know of that is doing anything in Cape Town at the moment. I guess you will have to mail them to check out when they will be doing another one.
  9. I did this course and it is well worth it
  10. You are not allowed to ask for discount at a bike shop
  11. Tragic , RIP. Lets hope that they catch the low life scum that has done this and he serves time for it, but alas I doubt that will happen. In saying that, I think a demonstration along the lines of what they did in the UK is desperately needed soon
  12. Terribly sorry to hear that Stretch, condolences
  13. Over 1,000 cyclists stage ‘die-in’ protest Demonstration comes after spate of rider deaths http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01861/cycle_1861863a.jpg Protest ... the demonstrators gathered outside Transport for London's HQ MORE than 1,000 cyclists lay across a central London road in a “die-in” protest against dangerous traffic conditions. Demonstrators blocked roads outside Transport for London’s HQ in Southwark in tribute to the six cyclists killed in the capital this month alone. Bikes were strewn across Blackfriars Road while others held candles as part of the 15-minute vigil. http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01861/cyc4_1861872a.jpg Grisly ... a cyclist covered in fake blood ahead of the 'die-in' protest http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01861/cyc3_1861870a.jpg Peril ... six cyclists have been killed in the capital this month alone Stop Killing Cyclists protest organiser Donnachadh McCarthy, 54, hopes the plan will encourage more investment in safe transport infrastructure. He said: “We are here because Londoners are fed up of being killed. We need to have modern, European, safe cycling network. “We believe it’s a human right for children and pensioners to cycle around our city safely, and at the moment they can’t. “We have brought the battle to TfL’s headquarters because these are the people making the decisions. We want representations and we want real funding. We want £600 million a year spent on safer cycling in London.” http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01861/cyc2_1861865a.jpg Danger ... the number of cyclists killed in London this year now stands at 14 Brian Holt, 62, Francis Golding, 69, Roger William De Klerk, 43, Venera Minakhmetova, 24, a 21-year-old man from St John’s Wood and a man believed to be in his 60s all died between November 5 and 18. The number of cyclists killed in London so far this year now stands at 14. TfL Surface Transport managing director Leon Daniels said one of the protesters’ key demands – segregated cycle routes – will be introduced over the next 10 years.[/color][/color]
