Lol, I believe I also fell asleep on a few occasions. Generally I just keep my eyes close, or I look at the techs on the other side of the window if I can.

Is the bolt spacing enough for a bottle cage?
Been wondering why my internet access been acting up. Just reset my router also and seems ok so far.
We all know that dedicated "pedestrian" and cycle lanes are not an item that anyone uses in this country. You get pedestrians and runners in the road, some even just dart out in traffic and you get cyclists in the road despite the law requiring single file and use of cycle lane if there is one.

If people insist on running on the wrong side of the road then they should consider the cyclist who they expect to either stop or veer into traffic so that they can be given the courtesy of being a chop, I mean pass.
. . . I dislike running. I will stop now.
I come to a stop in the middle, forcing the runner to move either side. I wont risk myself like that, unless it is extremely quite on the road. Which is why I predominately ride MTB. Roadies is for extra early mornings, and in the deep south. I just cant ride the Atlantic seaboard anymore.

I am discharged now and headed home where the little things become the big things - crutches, handfuls of pills, chicken soup and the hourly emotional roller coaster. I just brushed my teeth and now need to recover.
And I’m alive and sound of mind to type this to my online community. Every message of support here means tons - it brings in positive energy into my world. My son bought me Pika, as he calls it, to help me get better. 😌The next big milestone is follow-up with the orthopaedic surgeon. And another achievement maybe shaving later this morning. 🎯
Be safe out there, Peoples. 💟
Stay positive dude, recovery and physio and you will be back stronger in no time. And when you fell you dont need to do the strength exercises, dont stop, push on. I know that feeling now, everything is a mission and you get tired, soon it will dissipate.
I may have a slopestyle bike that I possibly would want to get rid of as a complete bike.
I have 2 of these. They seem to work

Apparently the driver who hit the cyclist was drunk. He was taken in custody in fish hoek. Subsequently he has been dismissed from his work!

I think a charge( i say under correction) of reckless endangerment could be issued.

Only about 1 in 4 are women so that means that if you grab 100 random males off the street maybe 6 of them will meet the criteria.
Here are the criteria for antisocial personality. You need 3 to qualify.
- repeatedly breaking the law
- repeatedly being deceitful
- being impulsive or incapable of planning ahead
- being irritable and aggressive
- having a reckless disregard for their safety or the safety of others
- being consistently irresponsible
- lack of remorse
Put that behind the wheel of a hummer and ......
Worth remembering though that 6 out if every 100 okes you bump will have at least 3 of those in their personality profile.
Then majority of road users suffer from having anti social personality!

The key is if it is a spray/mist or a jet stream. Dont buy the misting one, you gonna get yourself as well

Same here. I am no race snake either. Groups generally get fed up with my slow pace and ride away from me. I cant be bothered. There are a few that do tolerate my pace also, but I also find alot of the times people are buys and dont have the time as often.

We get it in retail as well. Customers buy stuff because they having a party and need "props" then they return it on a Monday. Most of the time with parts missing or broken.
