Second cyclist, riding up to first: "There's an oke in the car behind us taking a photo." First cyclist: "Oh FFS! A Hubber." Second cyclist: "Which means?" First cyclist: "100 pages of diatribe, accusations, counter accusations and other stuff that gives me as much of a headache as wearing this stupid helmet." Third cyclist: "What are you guys saying? I can't hear you. Wait. let me ride up alongside." First cyclist: "You fool! You idiot! What you're doing is highly illegal. Hold your line! Hold your line!" Third cyclist: "Oh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forgive me please. I've eternally slurred the name of cyclists in the eyes of the world. Second cyclist: "Do I look good in these red shoes? They came from CEC yesterday." Etc.

This is the way to do it.

Make a pen nib with your penknife. Use bamboo for big nibs, a feather (preferably Turkey) for normal writing. Slice down the back portion to leave a nib shape. Press flat on the desk, and cut an appropriate angle (about 35 degrees) for your writing style. Press penknife in the middle so the nib splits - not too far. Dip in ink and practise your calligraphy. Today's useless bit of Hub information.

Do you think they'll stay in it? Or will you chain them up?

More special offers! More shops! More happenings! Gotto love this city - the moonlightmass guys are doing some awesome stuff for cyclists. Bravo! http://www.moonlightmass.co.za/moonlightmass/cityactivation.html

Volvo drivers can afford to throw money away.

Trying to rival "I have an idea for a new thread ..."

I do Grande tours. Hundreds of 'em. Meia de Leite or Flat White, preferably with two shots.

Nationalise Yellow Saddles! Amandla! Kiss the Boer!

"Slide to disable" ... is that a suggestion or an instruction?

Just sent off ... Good afternoon Debbie, It's come to the notice of many cyclists that Mekor Honda has appropriated the cycle lanes in Bree Street - not to mention the pavements - as a parking area. In fact, this situation is made all the more dangerous for us: cyclists now have to swing even further into the traffic. Of course, Mekor Honda is not the only offender. However, we may need to submit photographs to the City Council if the situation isn't corrected sometime very soon. Kind regards, in anticipation of your understanding XXXXXXXXXX (not kisses, my signature. Not Le Turbo.)

Now, how many emails can we send to Mekor Honda telling them to stay the F out of the lanes? Their website says: debbieh@hondadealer.co.za Hairy, maybe you should send your pics to Robin Carlisle? Carlyle?

Ag darn it, I've got a meeting I can't avoid. Next time.

I'm with Seabee. Serfas Seca cost around R200 and do, in my opinion, a better job. So much so that I binned all my Conti's, even the new ones. Also, I find Conti's ridiculously tight on the rims. I broke several tyre levers with them.

... and the 4X4 lady wondered what happened when she double-parked and jumped out the car to quickly run into Pick 'n Pay.

Try my mountain bike. Proof enough.

If you're in CT with your bike, there's R10 coffee and free cupcakes and stuff from most of the usual "bike coffee" places like Truth. See on the Moonlightmass facebook page. I don't know if it'll be a regular Friday thing or not. Is it now obligatory for every coffee shop to have a rusty old dikwiel standing outside?

OK, well, it's sucks to you if you don't ride your bike in to work. For me, I'll be spending most of the day out of the office eating, drinking and making whooopeeee! R10 coffees at Deluxe and Truth Muffin & coffee R20 at Cafe Sante Bike parking at Bowman's Cycles Free coffee at & Union after 17h00 10% discount at Starling & Hero Free cupcakes at Gogo Free danishes at Field Office Specials on beer at Fire & Ice and all just 'cos you're riding your bike. http://www.moonlightmass.co.za/moonlightmass/cityactivation.html

I've seen one listed for 3 500 Great British Pounds. I think Schwinn did make one. And somebody rode the 94.7 when I did it about two years ago.

Bwahahaha!

I'm devastated! Cameron nearly ran out of petrol? Tragedy! I think the least Audi could do would be to ensure he has a full tank at all times. Marketers are incredibly irresponsible people.

I've picked up scooters in the bike lane, had fights with flower sellers - maybe I should get some really, really sticky stickers (like the Argus numbers that you can't get off) that say, "Stay the F out of the bike lane" especially for their windscreens?

Stop it! (But ah, I have about 3 sets of Campag toe clips.)
