  1. i wouldn;t trust anything from IOL but this is notable from the organisers. i took the option of substituting my ultra entry for a beer festival in Greyton instead - good move!
  2. cycling mikey on youtube
  3. there is a crowd starting soon from FH athletics club. there is a whatsapp group, i can try get you on it (me too actually)
  4. what's happening here? guess not much
  5. they were making top of the range bikes at launch, now just hyperama https://www.makro.co.za/sports-outdoor-travel/sports/cycling/bicycle/20-50cm-bicycle/volcan-20-comet-mtb/p/000000000000455976_EA
  6. Adult frames crack occasionally, kids bikes are so over engineered that this never happens. And they are heavy as boat anchors. Looking at this top tube makes me think again!
  7. Jislaaikit but this podcast moves at snails pace. Moving on. Can we get Guy Williams on the case?or is there a local equivalent to this legend, whackhead? https://youtu.be/Li3c54QBitM?si=Noi6h1gXxR3NbKIG
  8. ok. can you split the flight 4 ways too then? let's pad this one out then. Cape town airport to plett/beacon isle in rental car - 5:54h according to google cape town airport: arrive 90 minutes before flight leaves (you have 4 bikes to check in) flight time:1hour land, collect bikes, get to rental car and on road: 1 hour (conservative) george to plett/beacon isle 90 minutes total travel time 5:00 seems like a lot of effort to save 54 minutes. edit: I will give you one thing though, 1way flight to George and riding back from there does seem quite rockstar.
  9. Seems to check out then. If he has an open case then airing it all on FB might harm that.
  10. https://www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-africa/2021-03-20-top-sa-runner-beats-r780000-claim-by-spectator-she-knocked-over/ shows how it gets dragged out over the years, already gone through high court (I see WPA were implicated too initially). The spectator seems to have died from an unrelated cause.
  11. well there's an answer on multiple usernames/identities. I really think the ones done under his own name could be just the tip of the iceberg. I would get so confused, but i guess that's half the trick. If true, that would complicate things, a lot.
  12. This is a damn good question! WCG don't seem to do much of the actual finer homework on this route. There are plenty of people doing it, so there could well be a bike friendly shuttle service that is just not advertised much to the wider market. https://capecycleroutes.co.za/route/cross-cape-route the fb page they have is sort of monitored, you might have some luck here. hello@wesgro.co.za finally @Dom N it's not "The Plett". unless you are referring to a fancy hotel and stay there enough to give it a nickname. If that's the case, then try 2oceansvibe airways rental car for 4 bikes? that sounds like a really expensive way to save about 2 hours of travel time.
  13. Not small for the runner, and imagine her legal fees over 10 years? I don't know how the judge decides to split the blame 70/30. If you're doing a race, you have right of way. Spectator must open their eyes and not do stupid stuff. If it's not on closed roads then the event needs to cough up out of their insurance. Opi oma this crap.
  14. He joined the page? Surely it would be a closed group and admin can bounce him? The more I think about it, screwing around your church congregation might be the biggest mistake.
  15. No creativity needed. None whatsoever. Just do no nonsense roadblocks at 5am on payday Saturday am. Get lawyers, doctors and the rest there so there are no slip ups. You will slam drunk a dozen drivers each month. Word will get out, and then the game will change a bit. That's where technology is obvious. Get cameras, lpr software and build a database of drivers who are possible repeat offenders. Then you know where to find them on a payday Saturday am.
