  1. I paid under 400 rand.
  2. Frail will ride the route just to show you.
  3. Don't simply assume all clubs ride 7 abreast. Come do a ride on the bicycle lanes around Ronderbosch. It's a maize and can only be done on a mtb.
  4. A group rides Tuesdays and Thursdays from Bree street just outside Bowmans cycles at 5:45am.
  5. Let's go. Come make a turn, I am guessing it should be loads of fun. Most people won't have tt bikes so don't worry. If you aren't that fit don't worry, I am sure you aren't the only one in that boat.
  6. The same could be said for Liesbeck Parkway. A nice cycle lane but on a club ride we are not going to ride on the cycle lane for various reasons: 1. Made of bricks at some parts which doesn't work to well. 2. Zig zags the whole time. 3. Very slippery. 4. Randomly starts and ends (near an on ramp to the free way which is dangerous). And for the cycle lane along parts on Campground road: 1. Starts and ends randomly. 2. Crosses peoples driveways with cars parked in your way. 3. Crosses Campground road several times. 4. Very bad road surface. 5. Pedestrians who shout at you as I am in their way. Now for general commuting to and from work I will try use the cycle paths as much as possible but when I am doing a club ride I don't see us cycling on the cycle lane.
  7. Well if they were riding fast then I can understand. The bicycle lane is more for slow commuting. Please note: I live in the southern suburbs but would use a bicycle lane if we had one when cycling to work.
  8. Will lets others post but it's easier to keep power going up a hill than on a straight ... So you always peddling slightly uphill.
  9. So ride to work and catch a lift home?
  10. So far only one bike in the bike rack.
  11. They generally have 0 posts.
  12. My bike is the one parked outside the gym in that courtyard. Who else is riding to work this whole week?
  13. I want another steel frame.
  14. Sure you can get it down to 30 000. 2.5k for kit. Better group set, wheels and frame.
  15. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/31145-carbon-road-bike-for-sale-focus-katusha/
  16. I now stretch often. The more flexible I am the less sore I will get during rides. Get better soon!
  17. Two black bags and some tape. Bike bag and you a for away.
  18. Or possibly this type. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wb8bAl1P-N0/SKwb88BTjRI/AAAAAAAAC2k/8tdmwzpGmIk/s400/front+wheel+lock.jpg
  19. The bicycle storage outside the gym isn't great. It's a wheel bender and tends to move around as it's not bolted down. I am in the process of asking for proper bicycle storage to be built outside right next to the pool (under cover). Hopefully something like this: http://www.creativepipe.com/lightning_bolt_LR_series_racks.htm
  20. .
  21. It's like Lance saying he did 1 hour a week. Take what is said on the hub with loads of salt.
