Adults saying "dibs".... hahahahahahahahahahaha [emoticon lying on floor laughing and shaking] hahahahahahaha File along with "finders,keepers" & "he who smellt it, dealt it"

I rode in Bedfordview behind my son once when he was 16 or so, on a Sunday. It was so scary seeing how close vehicles pass and how unpredictable they are. Its very different when you're looking at someone else on a bike than when you've just got yourself to think about. I got shredded nerves and didnt look to do it again....nor did he! .

Really? - I've been cycling & driving in Germiston for 7yrs and more and never seen one like that. Every day? Wow, best we all get down there. I'm not afraid to stop or cycle through, why would anyone be? Why not ask the cops to do a cycle road block and check guys out if its that prominent? Sorry to the guy with the break-in htough, that really sucks; but you're right XS should stand out.

I got a Thule rack and some wheels from them in December - the rack took 10 days, the wheels 3 weeks & a follow-up call. I'd use them again but wasnt too happy that the hubs had worked holes in the sides of the box due to poor packing.

Obviously deemed a racist opinion which you are not free to speak. Weird response imo.

hahahahaha it can work - just make sure you've got a long enough tube. Poisoned energy bars - there's another one. Just mark them up so that you know which are the good ones.

Thought you were taking the piss and it was pretty funny, the way your armoured bike is so way-over-the-top. What do you have in your car - those flamethrowers that come out the sides?

For me it would be the mix that would make me feel sick - that list is like the leftovers at a kids' party! Consider going with fewer, plainer items - e.g. bananas, peanut butter s'wich.

"Mathematically illiterate"? Less illiterate would be "innumerate". ..............just sayin

Hi Sammy - I'm annoying in lifts too. I got two lines, both for just after the doors shut. Either - "nobody talk, this is a lift" or "I guess you're all wondering why I called this meeting". Embarrasses the hell out of the kids, but one of the few pleasures of getting old.

+1 Pretty sure this is someone who has been here before.

Well done to Dangle, Troy and all the others who have organized themselves to tackle this problem - its really cool what you are doing. Carte Blanche was one part of your action and it got the message across and maybe encouraged the cops to do better. I think it did its job and hope you can get a follow-up. I guess the main part of your campaign goes on, largely unseen but effective. Hats off to your group.

?? I always wear one. Happy weekend.

Was in France in the '80s and the verb "porter" means "to carry" as well as "to wear". Heaps of kids on bicyclettes and scooters would have their helmets on their arms, getting around the law. On your point, its about perceived risk & having got to 46 I figure my assessments are not working out too badly so far. Of course, if i was the paramedic who posted, i'd never get on a bike. I dont have any contents insurance either, choices, freedoms, safety.

I forget who it was but apologies if it was you; I can see I expressed myself too strongly and have amended the original post. Weds was pmt day

Sure, that's fine - I wear one out of fear on the roads and peer pressure. If I was out of town, I wouldnt bother so much.

I'm happy with my understanding of things, thanks. If you're in the Uk you might want to be careful not to: [*]Wear armour to Parliament (Royal Prerogative 1279) [*]Fire a cannon close to a dwelling house (Met Police Act 1839) [*]Bet or gamble in the library reading room (Library Offences Act 1898) [*]Use any slide upon ice or snow (Town Police Clauses Act 1847) [*]Drive cattle through the streets of London (Metropolitan Streets Act 1867) Also illegal to book into a hotel room under assumed names, with the intention of having sex. I also believe that its illegal to eat mince pies at Christmas from Oliver Cromwell's puritan days but this may be an urban myth.

It's not law, its not enforceable as it is prejudicial to the majority and there are no penalties set for its transgression. You do, however, need to have a bell.

It's not the law here; The vast majority of cyclists don't wear helmets; It's a good idea to wear one; You shouldnt be fussed about what the other guy does or doesn't do. The Uk figured helmets were a disincentive to people taking up the sport so would rather have the benefits of less cardio problems in the population, than enforce a helmet law. Also the rights of Uk road users increase as their size decreases. It's pretty civilised over there.

Cool - if we can snatch it and get it down the lab quick-quick, we can get a DNA match & find the rightful owner.

I'd try and help him with his spelling and take the spray can away - as for the bike, why on earth would you feel the need to do anything?

I think you're right, he is and am glad there's a lot of pressure on him to behave better now.

Some Hubbers (not Caerus) can be soooooooo incredibly stupid.

Sorry to be dof, but why do we think that it's stolen?

Maybe elsewhere, but on the Hub a lot of people supported the attacker until he turned out to be black. If you want to believe something about a group of people its not hard to find a couple of examples to hang your hat on. If you wanted to go with "those evil dutchmen are so violent and racist the way they go around attacking black people". You'd just have to point to the other Blue Bulls player - jeez what do they put in the water up there? And, again, the majority of Hubbers who posted, supported the drunken, drugged-up murderer.
