  1. You can't point fingers to drivers or cyclists: - Council should provide cycling paths by adding extra lanes. - Traffic cops should stop cyclists for disobey rules. - Drivers should give us spaces. - Cyclists should ride in single lane if the road narrows.
  2. I am also keen to join the fast group. We can confirm closer to the time.

  9. Ja, I went to Willie Engelbrecht and I saw the top of the range Scott road bike worth near R125 000. I was shocked and the weight is not different +-500gram compare to cheaper bicycles +-R20 000. Who will spent that amount of money (Maybe Michael Jackson)
  10. I wonder Andrew Mclearn is one of the owners or not?
  11. Catch puff addor and put in the car.
  12. You can't just buy a saddle that looks nice. Rather go to LBS to measure your bum bone by sitting on foam. If the bum bone is 130mm, then choose 130mm wide saddle.
  13. Greg Le Mond vs Hinault
  14. I hated the dopers becasuse they takes away the sponsors and they spoil the image of cycling sport. I missed the old days where the cyclists struggled each stages. Ban the dopers for life! No more second chances, they should know if they take it, they should not come back. They asked for it....... Enough! enough!
  15. Where is WE Cycles?
  16. I have not replace mine yet. My problem is that if I take it back, I have to wait for 5 days before I get it back. I cannot train for 5 days, no ways!! What must I do now???? Can't they do in oneday!!!!
  17. Why can't the traffic department get more staff and work 24hrs. They can make enough money to pay for Stadiums for World Cup 2010. They need to pull their socks and work faster.
  18. I feel the grey market is not very good because Mavic company spent lots of time and money to make the best wheels and now someone copied and sell good prices. How will you feel if you put lot of time on it and someone copied from you. You will feel piss off.
  19. I love Mavic wheels, but they don't have back-up plan! I had to run from shops to shops for SL spokes. The agent kept saying the parts are on way to SA, but they can't say when they will arrive. Bull sh*t! I gave it up for Easton wheels which have good agent Ominco. I admire them!
  20. Ban for life! I don't want to see them coming back because they damaged our trust in cycling......
  21. Hey! Where are vetarens and the women photos? I can't find!
  22. Be careful! There is a camera by the fence, if you damage the fence. I won't ride teh argus if they don't open Chappies in time. Why can't they send more workers to clean up? Lazy bastards!!!
  23. I used to get cramps and cramp block tablets only helped a bit! I take magnesium every night and it makes a bit difference in long run. I also do some intervals to get used to speed in the races. I also do some long ride, so that muscles can get used to it. Now I hardly get cramps for the past 2 years.
  24. My wish is that PPA and WPCA form in on party, so that we can have peace of minds
