You need to cut the plant back, it's growing out of control OK OK OK, awesome looking bike, wishing you many days of safe fun

My pleasure, just not worth the risk on that back road, ppl coming back from the night on the town with cars that shouldn't actually be on the road That road also gets very very windy so dress warm. Have a safe and enjoyable ride

Slow I wouldn't at that time of the morning. Can someone not ride behind you on that sectionSkye2008-10-17 12:17:21

Need to share my experience on Main road this morning Driving along in my car minding my own business and I pass the 1st cyclist pedaling like crazy on his MTB. Stopped at the amber robot just leaving Fish Hoek and he pulls up a couple of minutes later. We make eye contact he smiles I smile and away we go, that section towards Kalk Bay is full of pot holes and can be really dangerous so I ride behind him giving the MTB dude more than enough space, he indicates with his hand thank you which I thought was really a nice thing to do. We pull up at the next robot and he indicates to me that I should go which I do, I look in my mirror and I see another 2 cyclists closing in on him, I arrive at the stop and go on main road and there are about 10 cars in front of me. The two guys on the road bike wind there way between the cars parked and the onto the opposit side of the road to make there way to the front of the que, (Why only they will know) Never the less I look for the MTB guy and he is patiently waiting behind the car behind me. Time to go and it's hell for leather for to 2 road cyclist who are now 3 cars ahead of me. We get to the Muizenburg robot and again its red NO problem for them its all steam ahead in race mode. I catch up to them open my window and politely say, "come on guys its really not necessary to run the red light, it is things like this that give cyclists a bad name" 1st guys says, do me a favor and F... Off, the other guys says if I know what is good for me I should f off before he kicks my car in. I could not believe what I was hearing and was gob smacked, I tried to look for some identification on the bikes so I could take this matter further but nothing. I told them who I was and where they could find me, the one guy said great let me just finish my training and he will come to the shop and sort me out personally. Sadly the chicken sh*t never arrived My question, is this the norm the way cyclists speak to motorists? This is the 1st time I have been in such a situation and as a cyclist and running a very sucessful cycling club, I was horrified and I could have ridden over him I was so angry If this is the way cyclist talk to motorist I sadly don't want to be part of the cycling thingy anymore.

MDK555, you left out a couple of lines buddy 1) Out right Abuse 2) Pounding on your partners back 3) Stop this stupid bike let me get off ( I will walk ) 4) Screaming at the top of your voice to slow down on the down hills 5) The stoker is NOT ALWAYS CORRECT!!!! 6) All picture and no sound when you eventually get home (Hubby thinks this is the best) Must add once you get the nak of it, it's great fun..... (Just not the down hills, and no it doesn't help just closing your eyes) Skye2008-10-14 23:19:31
