I think unethical is not honoring the first person who called dibs on your price. That is why this thread has started - because of lack of ethics. I also buy a lot of golf stuff on an American forum and in 10 years of buying, I have had no problems with my dibs's. I must say though, I have had no problems with my numerous dealings in The Hub
A very good thread Smimby. The biggest problem in this country are impatient motorists. A very much smaller problem are cyclists who don't obey the rules. If motorists gave us 1,5 meters then the roads would be safer for everyone. I don't believe riding 2 abreast on a wide road is a problem - in fact it is safer as motorists don't squeeze you off the tar.
Greetings, my son and his mate now want to join me at Argus. If you know of anyone who has entered but is not riding please let me know and I will pay you for your entry(s) and organise the substitutions with the organisers so that they can ride under their own names and get their own seeding. thanks.
What is your take on riders not entering races and then riding them "unofficially"? The organisers say these riders will be pulled off but in practise this does not seem to happen.
I am not sure how one qualifies for Olympic places in cycling and hockey...mainly because I consider cycling administation at all levels rather antiquated. In Track & Field and Swimming, athletes have to meet a certain standard to qualify and counties are allowed to send up to 3 athletes per event. Smaller countries like RSA have no problems because we don't have the depth but in the USA they have trials and the first 3 on the day goes! A bit harsh if you have an off day but the athletes respect this and there is no whining and moaning afterwards.
A very interesting question! In this modern technological world and the vast back up and resources that 360Life enjoy - how can they lose 24 minutes due to repeated puntures??? Something does not add up here!
Good to see u recovering mentally. There is no doubt that you can ride again physically you just have to decide if it is worth it. I am recovering with a plate and a pin in my pelvis after being knocked off by a car. I have other interests in life and still have to decide whether cycling is worth putting my body on the line for, or take it as a message and pursue other (less dangerous) activities! Time will tell. PS I am 60
