It seems like they have got this wrong again. You can't build another Strava easily, they should do everything to keep themselves as the only game in town for fitness data. So what is 3rd party apps are leaning on their systems and making decent money, start offering their functionality and do it better.

cool idea. but I'm not sure how accurate you could be with it? I would consider loading the bottle as a big ass pepper spray/smoke bomb delivery device.

I have one of these, i got it for the same reasons this guy mentioned too. I also had the issue of valve core coming out sometimes after inflating. To prevent this, i put a bit of spit on the core before pumping, the hose doesn;t grip it then when unscrewing. simple.

The only way this makes sense if as reported earlier it is a group of 4x memberships, (which can't be bought individually). Which also doesn't make sense. The other factor is they are hosting 2.5 stages of the Cape Epic 2025 including the finish. Keep the riff raff out before the C suite come in end of march

Is this some tax fiddle or a BEE tender type thing where it's basically money laundering?

not sure if this has been celebrated much but pretty sure interals.icu was beta tested here by @davidtinker edit: yes here it is

It's well above inflation, but there are other drivers behind what goes into it. https://www.inflationtool.com/south-african-rand/2015-to-present-value As I always say, it is a charity event after all.

for those looking at the cost of the event, I found this list I posted 2 years ago and updated it 2025 895 5% 2024 850 13% 2023 750 15% 2022 650 9% 2021 595 8% 2020 550 2% 2019 540 6% 2018 510 9% 2017 470 0% 2016 470 9% 2015 430 plus one. my kids loved that.

not sure if it's a good reference, but Argus allows the stoker to ride the year they turn 11. they are allowed to ride the full event on their own bike the year they turn 13. back in the old days, kids as young as 8 where doing the entire 105km, but that's another story

How does seeding work for this? no tandem info here https://www.capetowncycletour.com/seeding-faqs/ Does the captain carry seeding into the mix alone, or do they categorise both together, so a newb brings in zero points and the index is doubled?? I signed up for pedalpower again because that seemed like a good idea startbatch wise. it seems the only viable seeding event left is winelands

Mason has come a long way from a simple no fuss bike shop in matieland.

for the second year in a row, HBomb's birthday HAD TO BE AT THE BIKEPARK! He challenged this dad to dual slalom racing series. He did not lose but as a paid up member he has serious local knowledge. then his actual family with cousins was supposed to come back the next day, that got rained out. it remains an awesome place for kids to hang out, love seeing all shapes, ages and sizes there

You can claim the VAT back on your n+1 bike purchases? Awesome!

I have done 25+ Argusses. which means I have probably seen it all. I have done the ride in jeanpant, on a fixie, with a lifejacket, charity buggy, carrying a blowup doll for a batchelors (not all the same year). Next year I am doing it with my 10yr old bikebevok laaitie slipstreaming and soft pedalling my efforts. We have the entry, but not the bike (yet). I know there will be endless "the kid on the back isn't pedalling" chirps. Beyond that, i know zip about riding tandems. this thread is more about the couple tandem vibe. The best thing about the Argus, I still have more to learn! I searched, and there doesn't seem to be much info on going from a competent biker to a tandem captain with your preteen kid on the back. Surely there are many many who have gone down this route, and plenty who did it in the Argus too. Share your knowledge people! Share your knowledge people!

no no, Formosa is Plett!
