Thanks for this. Very nice looking route. How ridable is the gravel between Riviersonderend and Swellendam? 

I stay in Greyton for half the week and wasn't aware there was a way to make this route work.

Just don't go via Krige road, its closed. 

[[Event] THE CEDER]

This is by far my favorite event of the year! Can't wait for this year's one. 

[Is this shop legit?]

I would not suggest buying from this site based on a quick scan. Looks like a lot of redflags. 

[[Event] Rooibos2Muisbos 2022]

Anyone doing this?

[Karoo to Coast]

This race is 100% doable on a gravel bike. Is this a new change or have they always been banned? 

[Wireless Headphones / Earphones]

How do the bone conduction headphones work in windy conditions? Can you still hear the music properly? 

[[Event] THE GALLOWS]

Can't wait for this one! 

[Road bike hire JHB]

Thank you @shaper Doesn't look like they have options at the moment. 

[Road bike hire JHB]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know of a place that offers road bike hiring or bike shops that have demo bikes? 

Looking to rent next week. 

Any leads will be appreciated. 

[2020 360 one]

Can it be done on a gravel bike? Couldn't find that online. 

[Boast about your latest purchases here...]

Pulled the trigger on a Canyon CX bike. The perfect combo between a gravel and road bike. 

[New model ranges / old exits]

are any more brands still left to launch?

Canyon is launching new modals next month 

[Cape Town danger areas]

I saw 5 guys on that banking by the bridge. They looked like trouble but luckily the cops were parked close by. I would say avoid at all costs

It's scary stuff. Pity we have to choose between getting mugged or dealing with highway traffic. 

[Cape Town danger areas]

Just to add the to talk about the cycle path. About 3 weeks ago I decided to try the cycle path into town (I usually go on the highway), I just started riding again and I used to always take the path.

Just after the Woodstock bridge 3 guys tried to grab me, I luckily got them off me, got back on my bike and sprinted away. My earphone cabled stopped them getting my phone. 

I would not suggest riding on the cycle path, it's not safe at the moment. 

[Tracking / Personal Safety Alarm Devices]

I know of SEON. Its a one click button that sends a message to all near by emergency response units.

[Gravel bikes - what do you have and where did you buy it?]

Hey guys, I am looking at getting a Canyon Inflite CX bike. In your opinion could the bike act as a good road bike with a set of carbon wheels and slicks. 

 

Bike as picture except with Ultegra
