    And a friend of mine says his staylive also seems to have it.

    Agreed, this should it have been successful would have been me shot off my bike without even encountering someone, no weapon would be have been able to help me. I have done advanced and tactical handgun training and I recon I would need to be significantly better before carrying a firearm on the bike. Carrying while cycling is something I am in support of if done properly but it’s risky. 70% of the time I recon it will be completely useless to the cyclist with how sudden the attacks are, in those attacks no matter if you’re armed or not things are going south. The remaining 30% you could probably save yourself and your bike if you have the correct training for your weapon. The biggest issue is that the criminals wind up with another weapon in the majority of times in my hypothetical scenario here, not that they can’t get elsewhere easily enough I guess. When still in SA I cycled in “safe” areas and mostly with other riders.

    There is no doubt about it, cycling is rapidly becoming very unsafe in SA. In November I was riding to wolvespruit at about 6:30 am, I turned off of Atterbury onto January masilela and slowed down for the first robot after the dip. Luckily it went green because as I accelerated again I heard a gunshot in close proximity as well as the bullet flying right past me. Gave me a proper fright and I sprinted away rapidly while looking around, there wasn’t any cars or people in sight so it must have come from the uncut grass on the left. This is a civilised residential area right by Menlyn main and not where you’d think you should worry.

    I’ve sold a fork to the owner, dealt with him a bit on WhatsApp but he seemed to be a solid guy

    On a side note, most people haven’t a clue how a circle works. But some are from countries (like where I now live) where circles work opposite and you give way to incoming traffic. Again most people are just morons but some do battle with adapting (like me here)

    I’m aware, merely more irritated by the disdain for the forums

    I was referring to dealers or users making use of the platform to make a living rather than the actual bikehub owners.

    All of what you say is true, however it’s not related to what you originally said.
  13. Scott roy
    In my opinion bikehub is for the good of the cycling community and not for making a living off of… (again, my opinion) I have no trouble with people picking up a good deal (without lowballing) and then reselling it at a fair price though.
  14. Scott roy
    You should come see it in person

    Thanks, Georgia is roughly in line with SA pricing in terms of living costs (except accommodation which is crazy) The issue I have with that is as you mentioned above, you then have trouble with people who battle with dietary requirements and preferences. The flights I am on the fence about but I can get them cheaper and then I also have everyone arriving on the same flight rather than each doing his own thing which would make logistics more tricky
