The itch

30 year old technology ,it's meant to make your pedaling stroke smoother and more efficient. I had a Panasonic bicycle back in the day. Big blade had a sticker on it 'Biopace'

Spot on, but every man,women and their dogs are sponsored, they get selected and refuse to wear your value for money provincial kit/colours. Make the elite champs open and allow the pros to bring a few foreign teammates. Impose provincial competition on the veterans and youth categories

Hit the nail right on the head

Referring to the gravel race. 2nd finished 1st on FTime, 1st placed was 1st on podium, 2nd placed was 2nd on podium then swopped with 3rd placed rider who finished in 3rd a few bike lengths back.

I see there were musical chairs at the podium presentation. No line judges? Why

The 'live chat' on the XOSS website wanted a video of the charging status , video of non pulsing battery image sent and 'it' replied 'sorry out of warranty'. the item was purchased in July 2023 from Cycle Lab. i suggested to the 'live chat' that i had a dud and that they should at least stand by the quality of their products by replacing it. 😒 needless to say the 'live chat' died a quick death. any other suggestions for a wireless cyclo computor

My XOSS G+ which is just over a year old is no longer charging - the supplier no longer stocks the item other that it's accessories (which must now be obsolete). they say the computor is out of warranty which is understand. Omnico are in the same position ie they only supplying obsolete stock ie cadence and HR accessories. any ideas? i'm wondering if XOSS themselves will answer my emailed query

what doesn't work, are the peeps parking outside - hence no more events starting and finishing in St-bosch

we lucky to have a 1 tonner this year. thanks to the parking behaviour of cyclists in general, very few venues / and associated parties want a cycle race in their area.

VID-20240813-WA0001.mp4 The Chappies fence climbers are at it again.

is anyone here familiar with the structure of the Department of Transport western cape, especially who decides which department is responsible for traffic control at events.

if an Ebike is capable of speeds in excess of 25 kph then they are required to be licensed to ride on a public road in the UK - is this true? seems a bit over the top

😀i like it, their actions are premeditated i.o.w they have a lookout peering down Marine Drive looking for flashing lights. when sighted 'the ambush party' is alerted. something has to give, those that live there are desperate. if they aren't removed the attacks will continue unless someone or something deters them. i know of a rider who was attacked there late last year. he 'carries' and has been itching to use it. he says about 10 perps jumped him and a friend very early ie 530am during the working week. knocked him off the bike but fled when Dirty Harry emerged.

i did a bit of scratching around https://www.2oceansvibe.com/2020/06/05/if-your-e-bike-goes-faster-than-45km-h-you-might-need-a-license/ on another note , if event organisers ignore the dedicated EBike category and deristriction inspections , do they open themselves up to being sued by spectators or participants who are injured by a rider using an derestricted ebike.

how do organisers police Ebikes that have their 'governing chip' removed. there are conversations doing the rounds after a recent seeding event where some results were questioned in an event that had no E Bike dedicated category. i was just thinking , i wouldn't like to be hit by an out of control 20kg Ebike at 25kph never mind 1 going down a hill even faster. Cycling regulations state that the bike may not be tampered with and altered in any way.
