Tokai Mtb works on the mountain every day and their efforts is the reason there was only ONE attack up there in about 3 or 4 years

"Science" is often flawed, no doubt. But at least it is open to examination, re-evaluation and correction, as history has proved many times over. But what else should we "follow" as an alternative when it comes to health matters? Folklore? Superstition? Anecdotal stories? Beliefs? Trump? These are not based on something that allows examination, re-evaluation and correction. All alternatives are even more fallible, methinks.

If I look at the road carnage I think there are many who don't even know they are supposed to drive on the left..........leave alone opening a door without looking first🤪

Agreed, a positive develeopment very long overdue. The City of Cape Town simply MUST clean up the grime and crime unless it wants to allow its inner city to die together with the goose that lays golden eggs for it, tourism. I am sorry for the homeless, and have many years of co-existing with them in my neck of the woods, but as it stands since Covid, it is totally out of control and needs to be addressed.

Double post

Funny that you say that just a few hours before mid winter...........tomorrow I expect you to post that summer is coming......always positive Dale👍 Glad to see you are up and rolling again, Dale

I'm happy to donate a couple of gin traps to be set up along the skelms escape routes.

Am I the only one who find it ironic that in ZA it is the honest law abiding people who have to use burner phones............elsewhere it seems to be the assassins, druglords and dodgy spies who use burner phones (I have to admit that my knowledge of this is all gained from the movies and Blacklist). Shall we call it a mugger phone rather?

Policing is not a function of the PPA. Advocating for cycling safety is. So, i.m.h.o. the question should be: Why don't the PPA arrange for a massive protest at the relevant police stations? Edit: I say, invite the downhillers also.........it will be rowdy enough to grab international attention! (Just kinda kidding all ye wild ones!)

This is a really ****** up world

I have given up on that stretch of road, sadly. ..........It is my personal little cyclists nightmare filled with reckless, homicidal, stupid, unqualified drivers, Ubers, muggers and pedestrians, all trying their level best to kill me while they try to find parking to go buy a mundane gluten free vegan muffin at the Old Biscuit Mill.........and if I survive them, I know I can look forward to the next death trap horror..........Salt River Circle..........the purest form of traffic chaos and ineptitude, situational blindness, trucks, taxis and idiocy on earth..........and then I hear the alarm clock scream and I am so grateful that it is 5.30am, dark, cold and wet outside, but that I am alive and can go to work rather than the morgue....... I signed anyway, who knows, perhaps some day the City will do the right thing and build a dedicated separate cycle lane through there. It is the only safe way and NOT rocket science! Edit: You noticed the hyperbole above, didn't you?

It sounds like you are talking about the Salt River death trap around the Old Biscuit Mill?

The next one: My C40

This no-name single speed. It's not even mine, but I built it. And, sorry to say so Ernesto, it is cooler than the next one.

"Multichoice went bankrupt from arrogance". (A comment I saw yesterday and which I thought had quite a bit of truth to it.) I have not missed them even a tiny little bit for the last 4 years since I literally threw their decoder out in the trash. Edit: I pressed the "Haha" button.

So true and pertinent to our ZA of today.

Beautiful sunride that I missed because this early bird went to work too early and saw nothing but darkness.........

Managed to keep the right side up down the Jammie Steps in my backyard.

The Koeberg Interchange gives me the heebie-jeebies even when driving the big fat 4x4, simply because it squeezes too many idiotic drivers, trucks and cars through too complicated and narrow twisting funnels. You won't catch me there on a bicycle!

My wake-up call says "you have a great bike, but you still can't ride for ****" It hurts even worse!

Sooooo fantastic to see real bike porn........I don't think it has to stand back one inch for the famous Italians.

Very early morning ride?

If a bike starts to remind me of a constipated dog, then I know it is ugly. Many newer dual suspension mountain bikes have that look of a cramp in the hind quarters. I suppose I love mine for its function, not looks. None of the old classic road bikes has that unfortunate look ........... so if I want to look good I stick to old road bikes and suck my gut in for photographs...........just saying!

They're all in cahoots........mine too!

Yes, I have been on a bit of a Pangolin Mission lately..........anyway......... all the above talk of surrealism made me decide to post this picture.........the aim was to stir a little bit of surrealism into it!
