  1. I hear that we must never use washing machine or dishwasher or put them in the sun to dry because it will cause the shoe to loose its shape....

    Rather use soap, brush and luke warm water in bucket. Rinse well and leave it in dry area to dry it. I normally use newspaper to absorb the water and replace them often....

  2. Police always say they don't have enough staff to help you.....

    I think it is a waste of time to report to the police, but I will still report anyway because if something happened again, they will have to investigate....

     

    Throw egg or wave in big smile, if he wants to put you off again......

  3. I think it is stupid to leave expensive bikes on trailer overnites. I will rather put it next to my bed....

     

    I know one woman who put her bike at the back of bakkie inside canopy on the morning of the Argus and she locked the canopy to have coffee and breakfast quickly. When she came back and the bike was gone. The thief managed to break open the canopy and she had to borrow bike to complete Argus.

  4. It is difficult to avoid/prevent because last year I was cycling on way home and all of sudden there were 5/6 guys walking towards to me. I had 2 options, cycle back quickly or jump off their path, but I did not have time to act. I was cycling fast and I prayed, luckily they let me thru...

  5. Any ideas of something to hold Wild Card on your bicycle???

     

    It was pain to stop to take out card from back pocket and show the ranger in Tokai Forest.

    I had to make sure I put it back in the back pocket properly, otherwise I will loose it.

     

    I will be grateful if you can share ideas with me.

  6. I bought one (900 lum) from dealextreme for around R500 with customs and tax. They deliver for free, but it takes 5 weeks to arrive.

     

    I never had problems with them. I also bought nintento DTS for my daughter for less than half price...

  7. I understand why lots of guys DNF Epic because most of them are not real MTB riders and they have too much money to throw. They think they can buy Epic medal and not prepare well. I noticed that they only start cycling one year ago with no technicals or experiences.. That is crazy! I feel you have to ride at least 2/3 years before doing Epic...

  8. The more water you use, the more you must pay for sewerage....

     

    I work with wastewater treatment works and lots of wastewater treatment plants in SA could not cope with the flow.

    The governement or municipality did not put enough money to improve the plants in past 10years, so they have to

    find extra money to improve the plants, otherwise they leak to the rivers. You will not believe it.....
