Strangely, I find the taxis are often among the more considerate drivers when I commute.

Question is, why did he run after kicking the car? Riding would've been much easier, but maybe he's a cyclocrosser/cyclocrossist.

This whole log-in MyPPA system is SUCH a ball ache.

We're trying to rival "I have an idea for a new thread ..." for non-sequiturs and other abstractions

What I love is drivers who think the hooter operates the brakes. Just slow down, for ****'s sake.

My guidebook said, "Never look at the traffic in France or Italy. If they see that you've seen them, they keep going." It got interesting walking out into the middle of traffic circles and main roads without doing the "look left, look right, look left again", but the funny thing is that it worked.

Is it happening on Thursday? I'll try pull my finger out my **** and get there. On time. Well-dressed, because I get quite chilly in the morning on this side of the mountain.

I reckon this could be become quite a collector's item; not just about bikes, but as a study of South africa today. The books are published by pre-ordering, but there are some sweet deals thrown in too. Not the cheapest, but then it is a limited edition. http://www.dayonepublications.com/Bicycle_Portraits/Home.html

Maybe he was also a chef on his way to work, pre 6:19? Otherwise, live and let live (or not, as the case may be). Why rile your day because of someone else?

I wonder why they don't make biodegradable GU sachets actually. Damn good idea. But there's some odd contradictions in cleaning up. For example, collecting dog doo (biodegradable) in a plastic packet. It's all very strange. I can't say I'd worry about throwing out a banana skin. If anything, it's good for the soil (ashes to ashes type stuff) instead of being dug metres deep in a landfill with other crap that'll never sustain anything natural ever again.

They've also got a ss commuter - regularly seen at Critical Mass. I don't know if it's part of the regular line-up though...

Nice!

Oh well, maybe I can just take up roller-blading (and go to the 80's revival concert in KZN).

Good chirp!

Don't whinge. I bet you've got three chain rings and probably ride in granny gear. Get yourself a 53/11 set-up and HTFU. Tcha!

Awesome idea and a great initiative. Wishing you absolute success in protecting those beautiful rhino. Kudos (and kudus) to you, Craigmac!

Selle it on the Hub?

Ouch. How long do they take for a new one and how much?

You're worried about cars when Koeberg is a nuclear zone? You want to grow horns on your head or extra toes or scaly skin?

Oh well then, I might as well go out and ride today too ...

Capetonian?

I've just chucked out about 100 magazines 'cos I'm moving. And I thought of the cost which would at least have let me buy a few decent cycling books as well as a nice old Mercian that I've seen.

The tjop in the car watches too many movies like Chariots of Fire.

Oooooooooooh, I like JB's collection. I'm wearing a Polar F11 piece of **** that can't upload details to the web (ps: I have a strap and monitor for anyone who wants it free, but you have to collect in Rondebosch Thursday or Friday evening). My late Dad's Buren from the 1940s is in Joburg and I'll get that.

Yeeha! I'll be able to join soon. Moving to Seapoint next week. Can't wait!
