Had to giggle when I saw this .................................. It's like using the only disabled parking bay at the local shop for a "quick" 20min dash inside to get milk and bread, cause the family must be fed ☝️ Tomorrow is Friday 🥳

Yo .............. this picture alone says a lot 🤬 I pray the cyclist is OK

Is it Friday yet 🤣

I have had my XOSS 1st Gen unit for 5-6 years. It is basic, BUT it does these basics very well and consistently so. Battery life is still remarkable. Cons are 1)no Windows support to run on a PC(mobile app. only) and 2)Rather small screen. Speed display is good, but Distance, Elevation, Ride time etc is very small. In a nutshell, XOSS is a solid brand. My experience ....

Or Ian Cameron

Sorry @Also-oldschool, my bad. You did say cape Point ☝️ Still, SAPS cannot refuse to accept your complaint/charge.

Lay a charge at Sea Point SAPS in whose area the incident took place. They have to log the charge.

Nice and clean look, but totally unpractical in my case. You need a W-I-D-E garage, which I do not have.

Aaah, so there's a real mamil under the panzer 😁 Luvit ☝️

circa 2010 Truvativ GXP crankset on my Spez drove me against the walls with non-drive side play. No pre-load tensioners back then other than spacers. Eventually binned the SRAM and went to Shimano. Never a day's issues since then.

Agree with @guidodg 🤙 The new Carbon Roam is probably the best bang for your buck right now.

I have been following the "Paul Ruinaard vs Others" discourse closely. The irony is that we all are highly passionate about cycling AND life. I have worked in a very regulated environment where safety is a non-negotiable fact of life. The info below is not my intellectual property and freely available on the www. If, for a few minutes, we take off our cycling "caps" and assess safety for what it is, these are proven strategies in any safety plan - even when cycling or driving on our roads. Unfortunately this risk treatment strategy is also applicable when wearing a very short skirt and stiletto's down a sketchy alley known for random attacks on women. Sorry @Mamil for stealing your pun about the "not asking to be raped" example. It would be downright daft to play with a lion's nuts knowing that you could potentially die. It is common cause that the first, and foremost, approach to risk is/should be to avoid it at all cost. Does this mean we should not ride our bikes on the open roads? Hell no, but what do you do if you cannot control the behaviour of a drunken, distracted or reckless driver coming at you from any direction? Key Risk Management Steps Evaluate/Treat Risks: Determine the best response strategy: Avoid: Change plans to eliminate the threat. Mitigate: Reduce the probability or impact. Transfer: Shift risk to a third party (e.g., insurance). Accept: Acknowledge the risk and take no action, often for low-level risk. I do not have the answer to this challenge we face, BUT I love life like anyone of you. Let's be lekker

Thx @Solly Moeng for articulating the SA road user conundrum. Please ignore my cynicism, but your suggestion will lead to yet another task team or commission of inquiry - with zero impact or results. We have more than enough traffic laws, bylaws, regulations, etc. We also have a criminal/legal system hamstrung by inept administrators. The laws and legal frameworks are in place, BUT it appears toothless to the core if not enforced or managed properly. In recent years, quite a number of cyclists were killed or permanently maimed by drunken/reckless drivers. I am yet to see any decisive sanction to be handed down in a court of law. Surely our problems are 1) Law enforcement(visibility), and 2) Proper consequence management(Legal). My 2 cents' worth

Got to get this off my chest ...................... It would appear that STRAVA has failed dismally to provide the desired motivation to be your best self on the bike, hence the requirement for a dominatrix to whip up your VO max.
