You could try the UP sports grounds if you're in pta (or willing to drive if not). It'll take about 10-20 min for a beginner to cover all the tarred/paved roads. Its relatively flat but there are some speed bumps and gradients so its not too boring. The suburb just outside the gate is also very quiet, especially on weekend mornings, so that could add another 10-15 min.

Haha, its sounding like that bike is a serious insult to cyclists. Anyway, in my search for a decent low-budget bike, I've come across perhaps a more respected name in bicycles. What do you guys think of the Raleigh Elevation range (3.0, 2.0 or FS)?

Thanks, it did look too good to be true

The other day I saw someone eating a hotdog while riding a delivery motorcycle.

Hey all I'm looking to get a new bike since the one I'm using now is getting quite small. I started looking around and found the Dunlop Epic 26" at Game. I've got a few questions about this. At R900 its considerably cheaper than most other bikes I've seen on the web, especially a dual suspension. I also couldn't find a Dunlop bicycle page, is that weird? Gathering from most of the comments on this site, most people here cycle in competitions or specifically for past-times/fun. I primarily ride my bike to varsity although I wouldn't mind trying out some trails - I just heard about one at Groenkloof. Anyway, this bike seems a steal at that price but have no idea if thats a decent investment, compared to normal ~R3000 hardtail entry-level mtbs. Also, they say its 26", thats not actually the size of the frame/bike, is it? Isn't that just the wheels? Any opinions are welcome regarding this bike or any recommendations regarding buying a bike on a tight budget.
