A friend of mine, posted on Facebook, that she saw two guys trying to hit and push a cyclist off his/her bicycle this afternoon on the new cycle lane on Otto du Plessis...she was stuck in traffic. I've asked her for more info but she hasn't replied yet. Anyone perhaps hear anything about an incident?

I'm game...H = 174cm, Weight = 103kg BMI is a load of bollocks so not going to go by that...doesn't take into account bone structure and muscle density (I use to body build) My wife is a Clinical Dietitian so could ask her for some pointers if you guys want. ...And before you smartarses say something, she doesn't bring her work home

ooooooo I also want please!!!!!!!

Shot, fixed.

:D That's so sweet of you :D

Shame I'm so heartless and feel terrible now for mocking poor Jennifer/mercy/yak's initial email The grief this poor thing must be going through is unbearable!! I have to help her out in her plight! It's the right thing to do

I wasn't going to bite but for sh1ts and giggles I've asked her especially for you

Just received this email from lovely Jeniffer/mercy/yak...

Thanks to all for the feedback! After a lot of consideration I placed my order yesterday for a Giant 2011 TCR Composite 2 road bike. I was given a really good cash deal. Santa better hurry his chubby ass up to have the bike delivered and built by next Friday

Thank you for all your input guys! Now to start the shopping....I'm still clueless on what to get in regards to brand I'll probably stick to Alu for now seeing as I'm starting out but try getting a decent group set. Here's a link. I made the correction above, it's in fact a Tri bike. My apologies.

I recently started road cycling and in my haste went out and bought the wrong bike/frame (Raleigh RC4000). The bike shop didn't give me the right advice in regards to a.) the bike and what it's primary purpose is, in this case a TT Tri so no extra cage in the frame for the longer rides - I don't do camelbaks and don't want bottles stuck under my ass b.) the frame is too small for me - 50cm....I've been measured and it should be a 54cm. In hindsight it was all about the sale and less about the perfect fit for the client! Anyways, this brings me to my question; The finance minister has agreed to me purchasing a new/replacement bike and I've been looking at carbon frames. I'm worried that with my 100kg / 1.73cm stature that I might be a little too heavy for the carbon frame. I'm so torn as to whether I should stick to Alu in the hope that it bears my weight better or risk carbon? The aim is to get rid of a good 20kg's over the next few months. I'd appreciate your input. Regards Jacques Edit: It's not a TT bike but a Tri...my apologies. I'm still getting to grips with all the acronyms

Anyone got any knowledge/experience with this brand? I've seen one on gumtree but don't know much about the brand.

Which route are you following tomorrow from Plattekloof? I live in Parklands.

Fixed

It's awesome having a qualified Dietitian for a wife

Same here, thought it was perhaps my pc and/or browser. I've tried Chrome, IE (*spit*) and Firefox...same issue.

Thanks Luke, I've emailed ActionPhoto to see if they have any. I've had a look at Torquepics but as you say it seems it's mainly of the pro's and not us plebs at the back

Hi guys, My wife and I did our very first race this past weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so we're now doing the Durbanville High School race this coming weekend and have signed up for both Die Burger and The Cape Argus. As we weren't seeded and part of the open group, I'd like to find out how I go about getting copies of any potential photo's taken of us on the WCE ride? I saw a number of people taking pics and in particular one lady (log brown hair and was driving a black SUV - Toyota RAV perhaps?) at a few points along the route. Regards Jacques

...sigh...the uneducated shoot their mouths off. You a specialist in the field?!?

I live in Parklands and am keen to join a group in the week.

I'm also keen on riding from Parklands to the Waterfront 2 - 3 times a week but not keen on the N1 stretch
