  1. I really appreciate your feedback thanks. Sadly, having the two entities being so similarly branded turned out to be a bad idea.... and I wish reducing profits was a problem we faced!! I agree with your sentiments on finance. In fact, I openly say that if you can, you should pay cash. It's just that not everyone can sadly, so we have finance as an option. As you point out, more people on bikes is a good thing, which is why we don't finance anything else. We love bikes and that's our goal.
  2. They were actually two separate entities. There was a finance business and a media business. Different partners mostly, with two common partners, if that makes sense. Me being one of them. Now it's just myself doing Yonda, and a re-branded media side called On the Trail. But yes, flying in choppers in the berg was awesome.
  3. Hi Groen. Bikelife was not able to raise further funding to keep lending, so they had to stop.
  4. Hi guys. I own Yonda so you are welcome to DM me if you need more info. Yonda works via Wesbank, just the same as Cyclelab, but available nationwide, and you will get the same finance terms as if you went through Cyclelab. The minimum amount is R10 000. From 30k up, there is a 10% deposit payable (normally) As I said, please DM me if you need specific info, or check out www.yonda.co.za Happy Trails.
  5. It's a valid point you raise because it can affect us at Yonda, so I will point out some facts on our side as opposed to trashing the other guys. Yonda and Wesbank have partnered to offer bicycle finance, so you have the assurance that the financial institution is compliant with the necessary laws. Our rates to date average out at 14,5%. There is normally a 10% deposit required, which is deducted from the financed amount, reducing your loan amount. You can settle early, there is no penalty, and you only settle the outstanding capital amount, not all the interest owed. Hope this helps. Always happy to chat things through with fellow riders if they need more info.
  6. Hi BSG. A friend alerted me to your post. Unfortunately I cant assist you as I am no longer involved in the finance business. The only email address that is operational is accounts@bikelife.co.za. The company doing the management of the book is Debt-In. You can call their Dbn office. I hope you come right. Just for clarity, Bike Life and Bike Life Finance are separate companies, where one does the media and the other does finance. I hope this helps. Cheers. Devlin
  7. No problem at all. Let us know if you dont come right with Derek and we can keep our ears open for others going back that way. Quite a few folks riding from the Underberg area and Derek knows most of them. Cheers
  8. Hi Tijl. We actually used to do this but a huge complication is WHEN eveyone finishes. There is a 6 and a half hour gap between first and last place so trying to co-ordinate that and keep folks happy is a very hard task!! We are staying up to sort everything out on the Sunday but I will see if there is anyone else driving back. Maybe give this chap a ring too. He lives in Underberg and is doing the race. He may just know someone. Derek Christie 082 318 9995
  9. Hi Flemish. Can I maybe help with more info for you? The vehicle shuttle option is full, but there is still an option to get the shuttle from finish (Notties) to start on the morning of the race. Its an early start then, but if you are in a jam...... You can email katie@bikelife.co.za to book.
  10. Sorry folks but Bike Life no longer rents bikes. Suggest you try your nearest bicycle shop.
  11. Thanks guys for the posts. Back at the office again. Craig I will respond to your email which I did receive. Cheers
  12. Hi Hub We are looking for an account manager/ customer rep type person in Gauteng for our business, Bike Life Finance. This would involved visiting our accredited cycling shops around Gauteng to maintain our relationships and manage in store positioning. The ideal applicant would be a cyclist themselves. More on our business at www.bikelife.co.za Please email cv's to devlin@bikelife.co.za.
  13. Hi Steven. Drop me a line on devlin@bikelife.co.za and I can answer all the questions you have. Typically there is a minimum of 15k yes, but for various reasons, such as us wanting to attract the "right" kind of clientele. We are not a big inflexible bank and we can adjust things on a needs basis where reasonable, so drop me a line and lets chat.Regards Devlin MD- Bike Life Finance
