Almost died laughing here!

Thanks Chris, attended on Saturday and learnt quite a bit! The basics looked much easier than they actually are. I realised how much there is to learn!

I always thought that it is "no brain, no pain!" (bro!)

Hectic...but I do hope that all the riders safely discarded their used energy bar/protein bar wrappers...

Holy sh1tstick!

Nice, but a little too Italian-baroquish... Oh, and I drive a Nissan bakkie as well!

hahaha, stand down soldier!

According to this newspaper article Daryl Impey has allegedly tested positive for a masking agent used to mask the use of banned substances! http://goo.gl/nYHmKE

Howdee, I did a cycling trip with 3 of my buddies December 2 years ago and rode from PE to Buffelsbaai. We went through the Baviaans Nature Reserve with a back-up vehicle. We stayed at Komdomo on the second night of the trip and then rode through the reserve to 'Bo-Kloof' if my memory serves me correctly. Did 104km with a tad over 2000m ascent and rode 12 hours...it was the most rewarding cycling trip of my life!

Noted, but they could probably do it in crocs too... I think that a distinction should be drawn between making claims that are unfounded (which was the subject of the class action lawsuit) and mere 'puffery' about the qualities of the shoes. No doubt that one can run in them etcetera (even do marathons such as the people you have referred to) but one cannot claim something that cannot be substantiated, ie. material claims in a legal sense - then it would be a material misrepresentation.

For those that are intested in the aesthetics, here's a link to their website showing all their shoes http://goo.gl/9nVPl

Wow, I didn't expect the response that I got from this post! Just thought that it was quite interesting and decided to share! Thanks for the comments and posts.

Interesting article that I've spotted where Vibram, the company that brought us the 'barefoot shoe' was recently at the receiving end of a class action lawsuit in the US of A...bottom line, their claims relating to the benefits of their particular shoes could not be achieved and now they are paying for it! Reminds me of the 'powerbalance' bracelets... Here's the link...http://goo.gl/H7GJE1

At least it may enable me to pick up chicks in a bar a little easier if they know I ride a Porsche. Then afterwards say, "Sorry luv' I said that I ride a Porsche, not DRIVE one...big difference!"

If I am not mistaken the one bike is set up for 'cycling' (simulating a pedalling motion with the arms) and the one for the 'running' part is set up differently (using both arms at the same time to 'crank', not pedal, the bike forward).

His brother was in school with me (matriculated in the same year). I visited Pieter a few times after his accident and his spirit never ceased to amaze me!

Of anything in this world I haven't seen anything more inspiring than Pieter du Preez. In 2003 he was left quadriplegic in a cycling accident. He only has his head, shoulder, limited arm function and no hand or finger movement. I have heard that he has completed the 2013 event in 13hrs 20mins. Check out this link: http://www.health24....ronman-20130311 If you search for "supapiet" on Youtube you'll also find him there. What an amazing man! Against all odds.

Howzit all, I took my bike to Morningside Cycles a week ago upon recommendation of a mate of mine. What a good bunch of guys. I dealt with Colin who was very helpful. I took my bike in again today as my front shock was giving me a few hassles - Colin immediately offered to lend me a shock so that I can continue riding until I've received my one back! Keep it up guys! I will most certainly be back and punt your business whenever I get the opportunity to!

As ek net 'n ou geldjie kan kry, dan kan ek darem vir my 'n ou karretjie koop! Maar niemand gee vir my 'n werkie nie! Ja...dis omdat jy so 'n dosie is!

Of...lekker daggie! Of...as ek net 'n ou geldjie kan kry! Of...dankie maatjie (gespel 'maikie' op whatsapp) Of...'hello outjie'! arghhhh!!

Ordered the Easton EA90XC's from CWC yesterday...who cares if they have 'shitty bearings' or lots of proprietary parts...they're a huge improvement from my old wheels (Shimano MT55 or something) which have lasted very well. Cannot wait to kiss the wheelset hello!

If anyone thought Hansie Cronje was a big kn0b, then Lance takes his place. What an idiot. I don't care if he's beat cancer, has one testicle, blah blah, he took everyone for a fool. It is interesting - in SA law you are innocent until proven guilty. However, what most don't realise is that the evidence against the 'accused' may harden into facts against him and may be found guilty based on his own silence.

He finds them to be very toit!

I've also heard that one won't be able to get 'slow takkies' (aka running shoes) anymore. Apparently some shoes also roll over obstacles better than other not-so-lekker takkies! Apparently, if you buy a very good camera your photography automatically improves on the same scale as the price. I've also been looking to get a better computer 'cos my typing skills will improve automatically and I will automatically meet all my deadlines...

They share the prize money equally so she should be happy...for a while...
