    He likes this quote enough to slap it on his banner. James 4:8 "come close to God and God will come close to you" but more than that, he should be jailed for crimes against humanity with a weapon of mass destruction known as autotune.

    he had me at sex hormones. At first I thought it must be a bot, but long time poster. I guess there will be some decent advice, the hub is nothing if not diverse!

    Yes! we did start on a saturday so it helped as they were open for business (and forced us to down a beer before middelberg pass) but just give them a call.

    This is EXACTLY why I get irritated with this whole concept. They have not sorted out the small stuff to make this work, everyone has the same issue - where to safely park in Citrusdal. I have heard you can use the police station, but it just really requires the project owner (WC gov/Wesgrow) to establish a safe spot. Could be anything from tourism dept, to a company with a large warehouse and security. We preplanned to park here and it worked out great. https://bydidam.co.za/ there is allandale farm close to citrusdal too, just don't follow the link from the official accom listing as it will get you to Massachusetts https://www.google.com/maps/place/Allandale+Farm/@-32.640382,19.090287,11z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x1c32ef70c42c74b1:0xbff26e49e6d0fbc6!8m2!3d-32.6403824!4d19.0902869!16s%2Fg%2F11g7z4q3gn?hl=en&entry=ttu edit: great news! I got a prompt reply from wesgro, will keep in touch with them to get things updated.

    It might seem like opinion, but account ratings, community feedback and bikehub pay are massive differences.

    short answer - because they dropped ~$30m on a superbowl ad campaign with accompanying promotions. 280m views just on YT. longer answer that I linked to earlier: Temu is a game changer in the US online shopping space in that they have found a loophole to ship cheap stuff to US customers without paying duties. They have also "gamefied" the experience trough their app with challenges. So they have just exploded in the last 6 months.

    if you want to watch it, this link with Portugeuse commentary hasn;t been you see schnaaied yet.

    unfortunately the first start of RASA is 4 days after comrades, the 18 day window to Berg would have been fun though! 2025?
  10. Shebeen
    pretty sure it will. Think this is a 40mm maxxis rambler on it. can answer you tonight if you wanna know for sure.
  11. Shebeen
    yes I got that wrong. he won nove mesto sep 2020 commentator slipped in that the top4 were going for first ever victories, but koretsky has won a few too.
  12. Shebeen
    lemme guess. bikemarket.co.za? They have trained a human to act like a bot. Put an advert up and you get a limited offer for your item at 30-50% of what you've put it up for. it's spam. you can block them.

    joh. go Alan (3rd), maiden win by andreasson (thanks tiz-cycling)
  14. Shebeen
    great result! looks like Matt can buy the next round of Beers with the $300 he won here https://www.seaotterclassic.com/gravel/

    https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/sport/2024-04-14-how-many-medals-can-team-south-africa-win-at-the-paris-olympics/ Alan is listed as a possible medal contender, of which we have very few. I'd say he has a 15% chance of a medal at best, he has been consistently in the top6 for this olympic cycle, but not enough 123 podiums to think he can pull it off on the day with so much pressure. plus pidcock and mvdp will be there to complicate things further. Honestly, the whole gold silver bronze metric is not conducive to an inclusive games in the modern era. Anyone who makes an olympic final should be measured on the table, instead we only get the big countries and a few outliers.

    bit late, but phone around is probably best bet.
  17. Shebeen
    I wasn't saying that, do everything you can.
  18. Shebeen
    totally, or you can just by clothing/shoes with reflective logos on it, you can never have too much! but this is fit and forget.
  19. Shebeen
    I thought Beers was tall.

    I suppose cyclists (sport and/or commuter) choose to not use lights for a combination of reasons: * they are not there/charged when they go riding early morning and don't feel like fiddling * they can see just fine, and don't care about being seen * they just don't own them. As a cyclist you can get irritated by these ghosts in the dark either because they are a hazard to you, or you are concerned for their safety (or both). The official stats from road accident deaths are sobering. ~43% of deaths are pedestrians. 2022 - 12436 deaths, of which 5347 where pedestrians. about 15 per day. Many of these will be drunk pedestrians, walking into the road - we're not changing that habit in a hurry. but some will just be walking in the darkness and are impossible to see. If only black label gave away free beanies with reflective strips for every case sold these numbers might come down. The simplest upgrade for cyclists which has no battery requirements is 3m reflective tape. I use the white one, put it on chain stays, seatpost and even small bits on pedal as that moves.

    wait. so there's a potential problem with Assos and/or Power saddles? doesn't the hub go 404 offline for a day if anyone complains about either?
  22. Shebeen
    so they got sold out. That's a case to order more and a wider range.
  23. Shebeen
    exactly. for comparison
  24. Shebeen
    @CaptainKipper yes. this bike doesn't exist without photos. @cvdup maybe not what you're looking for, but decathlon classify this as a "touring bike". i don't see why, no visible mounting attachments for one and a suspension fork. https://www.decathlon.co.za/mountain-bikes/329414-54169-29quote-touring-mountain-bike-explore-540-blue-black.html

    Van Rysel RCR is winning UCI races and sold out immediately https://velo.outsideonline.com/road/road-gear/so-fast-it-out-paced-the-order-book-decathlons-van-rysel-super-bike-sells-out-in-hours/ Dubau is not going to badly with the rockrider XC bike either https://bikerumor.com/pro-bike-check-joshua-dubau-rockrider-xc-bike/ They've got some decent bikes available, and i guess if they sell enough they might send out more in the range. Anyone biting? https://www.decathlon.co.za/3414-bicycle?order=product.price.desc&q=0
