  1. I understand your frustration and anger. You went through a rough patch and a couple others. And we are all going our own personal hell. We are here vaguely prodding each other and jolling on bicycles so at least be grateful and try treat everyone as you would out on the trails.
  2. Hey man I wasn't attacking you. I am sorry you have had to deal with so much. I never said my situation was unique, I am very aware of the almost daily bike thefts and jacking. It wasn't meant as doing something as in doing the right thing you are supposed to do and should do. It was more a generalisation that, if we as humans, could be nicer and kinder and help each other when we can can, possibly things can can better. Unfortunately, optimism gets you only so far. Humans = **** I don't know who jon snow is.
  3. You should mail PPA. Give them as much info as possible and maybe they can help put some pressure on the city. Also try and mail the relevant ward councillors
  4. I ride my Le Jeune with 32s. It is still not a gravel bike.
  5. Maybe go and do something about it instead of just whinging. We all have lives and commitments and no time left but maybe, just maybe if we all stop complaining and use that energy to do one small constructive thing, a small difference can be made Reply meant for the long dude. Quoted the wrong message
  6. I did email them. I will let you know should I ever receive a reply.
  7. ah yes, let us escalate this so that would be muggers assume that all cyclists carry weapons and start arming themselves better. I know it is frustrating but making a *** situation worse gets us nowhere even faster
  8. I am at a loss, how am I meant to commute without having to be continuously anxious about every person I pass being a potential hazard? Or being sucked under a truck on the N1 or Voortrekker Road? I do not own a car so now I am forced to put myself in danger twice a day, the only choice I have is what form of danger I get to put myself in. It is sad that we are slowly losing our freedom of movement.
  9. E-bikes and you ride on the N1 pretending to be a motorbike
  10. It was in the afternoon, just after 4.
  11. A couple guys tried to grab me off my bike coming off the N1 into Woodstock. Just passed Beach Rd in peak hour traffic. Luckily they weren't very good at whatever they were attempting to do
  12. I must be king of the idiots. I once cycled from Somerset to Paarden Eiland all along Voortrekker. On a Monday morning. On my track bike
  13. With Evenpoel having a 2:40 lead after stage 13, that post didn't age well. Lol, it's 1:49 now. This barely had a chance to age.
  14. it was on youtube and a community whatsapp group. it is fact
  15. He is back! https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/egan-bernal-to-make-comeback-and-season-debut-at-tour-of-denmark/
  16. Thing is I already have a steel fork on the bike. After every traumatic ride I consider selling, or upgrading it, or turning it into a SS. But as the feelings fade, I look at at it and think, wow, you are perfect the way you are. I was just curious i guess. I couldn't bring myself to put a plastic fork on a steel frame regardless.
  17. Was just joking, I do get it as i don't even know what VPN stands for.
  18. Am i safe in assuming it would be easier buying a new bike than finding a rigid mtb fork with a straight steerer?
  19. There are always a couple karate monkeys floating around. Probably fit 2.4 easily
