Hahaha, I sweat a lot. Anyways for now I am keeping my GT as MTB but looking at the TCR for road cycling.

Any update? this is quite concerning as I am thinking of purchasing a Giant bike.

Cricket, action cricket and speedball league! But focus is on cycling now.

Looking good!!!!!

The only way to solve this would be to have an indepth investigation unfortunately we do know how effective the majority of our police force is (please note the use of 'majority' as I know there are some members of SAPS that do work really hard and go the extra mile in order to see justice server) so either the investigating officer needs to be a cyclist or we need to alert the media as to how dire the situation actually is. (Get Carte Blanche involved, that Devi chick scares the crap out of me) And get the media to investigate to cycle shops.

Please let us know once you have an update. On another note, how do cycle shops keep track of the bikes they sell? Surely they need to keep track of the serial numbers for warranty purposes? Can this information not be placed on a secure database to which only the shops (or certain individuals at shops) have access?

Seems like the general Irene area is being targeted as I have read quite a few post on bike-jackings or attempted bike-jackings in that area. We used to jol paintball in the forest just below the Smuts house and used to encounter a few dodgy characters in that bush. Wouldn't surprise me if these guys are the jackers.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope everyone involved is okay. This situation is getting out of hand, how the f#ck are we supposed to enjoy or chosen sport / hobby if we fear for our lives when cycling. These days I am less worried about getting hit by a vehicle and more worried abour being ambushed, breaking a leg or arm (maybe neck) in the process and being left in the middle of nowhere while some f#ck makes of with my bike to sell it for a few hundred bucks. How can we put a stop to this? Personally I am against the idea of carrying a firearm while cycling but if that is what I need to do in order to protect myself so be it. Currently trying to get my girlfriend involved in cycling but if this trend continues there is no way, if they ambush us, god knows what they will do to her while I am held at gun / knife point. F#ck this

checked out the TCR advanced the other day and was really impressed. Also impressed with the TCR composite in black

Thanks splat!!

Hi Gents Never really been a fan of Giant bicycles (honestly don't know why, just never tickled my fancy) but the TCR Advanced range caught my attention. Any of you know what the pricing is on the range? Appreciate it lads

Also consider the Morewood Kwela! I think that is going to be my next MTB

I am by no means an expert on this subject but I can tell what everybody else is going to say: Go for test rides and take the bike you are most comfortable with. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it is sound advice.

Goodday fellow hubbers Just want to check if any of you have had any experience with an Eddy Merckx EM1? Saw it in green today and drooled all over the shop floor! Thanks lads

Soz this is a bit off-topic but what are your thoughts and experience with the S1? Looking into getting one myself. Shot

MTB's on the road. Quite keen to try out some of the established venues, just need to get back in the saddle as work has been very hectic since Jan. How technical are these venues?

A mate and I are also keen to start cycling during the week as things should quite down a bit from next week work-wise. During weekends we usually start off at the Wedge shopping centre on Rivonia, head into Sandton and cycle down to William Nicol, from there its either right to Monte Casino or left to Hyde Park (both routes have a nice hill or two) and from there we usually wing it trying to hit as many hills as possible. Usually a 2 hour ride +-40km including to compulsary coffee break

Noooooooooo! Moving that weekend. Maybe its a blessing in discuise as I still need ot work on my swimming, dont want to get pulled out of the water during my first event

When is the next event? Would like to give it a go!

As a complete newb, I still vote no. Reason being that I know I am a bad swimmer but this encourages me to work really hard on it. Also the reason I am still to attempt my first tri, need to get better at swimming first.

Sooooo nice!!

Holla gents So I have been eyeing (spelling??) this bike for a while now -http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=57661 want to get some feedback from any De Rosa riders out there. Suggestions for alternatives are welcome (lets try keep it italian ) Shot!

My vote still is with the Proteas!! Altough Smith was tacticaly very good today, he def missed a trick when he had to pace bowlers on at the same time. Might not be bad for us to lose a game at this stage of the tournament, hopefully this will serve as a wake up call.

Bit of a newb here but I love the look of this Merida http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_gb/bike/2011/148/Triathlon+Bike/TIME+WARP+4 Any idea of retail price?? Shot

Holla gents So the time has come for me to take my personal fitness to a new level (call it a late new year's resolution)and thus I have decided to start doing a few sprint distance tri's this year and hopefully build-up to longer events next year. So I need some advise from the more experiences tri athletes: where to start? I am in decent shape (cycle about 80km's every weekend and do a lot of other sports in between) but I do not know what to expect. So here is my gameplan for the time being: At the moment I know I am not a strong swimmer, so I had a chat with a swimming coach to help improve my strokes and basic shape in the water. So the plan is to train my swimming pretty hard until I can swim 800 meters without too much discomfort. Any suggestions regarding training and equipement? Shot
