Flippin' lovely!

35 000 Chinese cyclists die every year? Yoh! In accidents with themselves or with cars, one wonders. Now if we could just replace that 400 million cars, the world would be an infinitely more peaceful and healthy place.

I suppose we should get used to saying, "Sir Chris" in future?

Ah well, no tv to watch it, but anyway ... Question: Froomie seems to have worn the yellow for a long time. Any sort of record?

That's just so wrong.

Here's the Facebook Cape Town Bike Polo page, for those who want: https://www.facebook.com/CTBikePolo

Jeez Sweiss, your post has got me a bit choked up here. I'm getting old, I think.

Phew! Finally got up to date on this thread. I hate it, of course, because I don't own all the things I liked.

I know Phil Liggett has rather a nice steel one in a sort of purple.

Now that I don't have to commute, too little time.

Bwahaha! "Dammit, I'm bored. What shall I do? Wait! There! Just what I need - a car! I think I'll ride into it!"

His name would be nice .... so we can leave letters of appreciation and respect on his Facebook page, Linked-In profile, company's Facebook page ...

Your folks used to say, "You're not leaving the table till you finish your supper"? A friend has found Overeaters Anonymous (OA) useful.

Eish! Yoh! But I do have to laugh that you switched on your camera as more important than the light. I forgot my front light the other night; nearly hit a pedestrian. Shame, and she was the one who apologised. Even one of those baby flashers is better than nothing.

The chainring thing, been there and done that too. Right through my thumbnail. Incredible how sharp those teeth are.

Now we want pics of you and your sewing machine. Is it an old treadle type Singer? A kind of cycling practice?

Just buggering around on Youtube and found this. Trantjies in my oejies.

That the one that was at Woodstock Cycleworks? She is mint. Absolutely perfect. OK, she's probably in Bo Kaap. Mail all the Cash Converters and Cash Crusaders, drop some pics at all the bike shops like Bowmans, Revolution, Cycle Lab, etc. Go to the 2nd hand shops along Main Road, Seapoint. Put up street pole A3s in Bo-Kaap with pics of the bike and offer a reward, maybe R300.00, which is more than the tikhead will get second hand. And yes, do as Hennie VR says. Sorry for your loss, I hope you get her back soon in as good a condition as she's been. Incidentally, not 1988. 1978.

Surely just doing anything that keeps you active is "Cross Fit"? Me, I have my pull-ups bars for occasional pull-ups, leg lifts, etc. Throw in push-ups. Run down to Greenpoint park and do calisthenics. If you look at some of the calisthenic videos on Youtube like Bar Brothers, you'll see the guys use basic street furniture. There's never too old: I'm 49 and can get through around 60 pull-ups and 100 push-ups in sets of 10 - 20. Hehe, yeah, I think I'm bragging a bit ... but seriously, when I see kids of 20 who can't even lift themselves, I say wtf?

You have to wonder about that lone guy in cycling gear. Tourist?

It belongs to a friend of Nils at Woodstock Cycleworks. If you see it, please let him know (nils@woodstockcycleworks.com). Pretty identifiable beast, I think.

Ambitious eagle. Or very short-sighted.

Sports Science Institute in Newlands. Dr Jeroen Swarts, I think it is. But my physio also pointed out a few things: straighten my back, take the weight off my arms. Also made a huge difference.

Bwahahahaha! Life, you gotto love it.
