    So true

    Tragically this same aircraft crashed into the sea near Herlikon Greece shortly after take-off early today. One of the pilots a 62 yr old Indonesian died (RIP) and the other a 32 yr old South African survived. Reasons for the crash are unknown, other than the pilot declared an emergency shortly after take-off.

    I thought you were a Bikehub premium member? I wonder how many premium members there are?

    End of the line (production line) for a legend https://youtu.be/3XjcUI-hY84

    There is always one.... who runs in shorts during freezing temperatures, this one takes the cake though with the T-shirt only as well. His skin is going to be bright red quickly 😁

    Been a bit chilly lately, luckily i've had a few days off from work so can manage a jog during the daylight 😆

    Maybe someone could give him a pair of lycra cycling shorts for xmas, might keep him from trying to feel others

    Very true, thanks for the link! As someone who rides mtb mostly alone often in forested areas it’s reiterated the need to have some sort of tracking available for my wife in the event something goes wrong on the ride. Luckily the cell phone signal coverage here is very good, so it should be quite simple.

    Eddy Foole professional athlete? Never heard of the fool Doubt CSA have either, but Ja should be treated the same as if it was conventional doping with sauce

    I started online racing over 10 years ago (not with Zwift), it used to be great fun but as IDT became more and more popular so did it become more unbelievable…. Sadly it’s human nature to cheat and there is always at least “one drol in die drink water” We even had a good group of hubbers doing regular races, see the link below. It was really great fun, sadly many of them are no longer active on the hub.

    I guess - Asking for many a bikehubber.......

    Basically: sick, holiday and winter but planning a comeback 😁 Some might say sick, lame and lazy

    Awhile back someone mentioned getting Mike Bolhuis, the sheriff might be the next best 😁

    Living and riding in the Souf I very much doubt it 🤙

    Welkom…. brings back memories….. Got a speeding fine there one Friday afternoon, the boere were all camped on the side of the road having a braai while operating the speed trap…..Took my girlfriend at the time there for the weekend to go to MX (Think it was Goldfields MX, a great track and the locals always hosted a good event), we were staying at the Holiday Inn. We went to the bar / nightclub in the hotel on Friday night for a meal and had to leave in a rush with the sound of broken glass and bar stools flying as a massive fight broke out at the bar….. Were still married so she must have been impressed 😂

    Then with no insult meant, I’d suggest you have lived either a very short or sheltered time on this planet. I’ve unwillingly been involved in fights with sober decent people resulting in black eyes and blood lips just because I tend to squint when in sunlight, that together with my bushy eyebrows makes it look like I’m giving a skeef look… no shite TBH imo a lot of people in SA are walking around with very short fuses, and I’m sure when they return home they are probably quite decent

    In hindsight probably not The thing is, we all have our moments of madness and maybe the attacker had one of those days and *just lost it…. Other days he might be a normal person, just like most of your or my friends. *Not condoning his actions

    Most admirable indeed But the question was would you split on your buddy for a reward?
  19. SwissVan
    But they still need to be a real hands on person, not an email address

    Let’s pretend you know the culprit who is a regular riding companion and buddy (no not FABES)…. Would you report him and how much would it cost for you to pull a “Makatini Lunch bar” stunt and ruin the friendship?

    It all depends on what sports are involved and what results you want. For general fitness improvement (for example to improve your Argus time) it’s easy to train yourself via many online systems or programs that are easily available with a bit of internet research. Some sports require more than just fitness, for example swimming and mtb which both require good technique, for this you need a hands on coach (one that can see and touch you) who can assess your technique and physical state providing specific and corrective training on a regular basis. A good experienced hands on coach will also assess your results and provide none fitness related tips to further improve, for example tactics…..which are not easily learned from an online program or magazine.

    Good idea, money talks 😂 Trick is, assuming they are all skulking away and protecting their tjommie….…how much would it take for someone to split on him?
  23. SwissVan
    Thought you might be going past Egypt for COP27

    Pilots hey.....
  25. SwissVan
    This is what i was thinking, as I'm resident overseas I contacted a few of my SA cycling buddies last week and none of them where aware of the incident until I sent them the link. Although I believe the OP has made use of various social media outlets as well.
