Stolen: Specialized Tarmac 2015
When: 9 May 2015
Where: Cape Town, Western Cape
Hi All
A friend of mine's bike got stolen from his home this morning. Dont have much detail around how they got into the house.
Place of residence, 4th avenue, Grassy Park, Cape Town
PS. The pic of the bike is a bit outdated, took the pic when he went shopping around for a bike.
If anybody has seen the bike or you are approached, please make contact with Ashraf.
Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes section
Apologies if I have missed it but does anyone know how the finish will work? I am not clear from Rhodes Drive back to Greenpoint.
You will enter Strand Street, then right into Adderley and left into Hand Strijdom into Helen Suzman into Green Point
LIKE - I was just about to post this picture, this is a tragedy.. not a shortened Argus.. grow up and stop moaning about the money\Training time\Etc you are "losing"..
I say for every kilometer we ride on Sunday, we attach a monetary fund and donate to those affected!
12 min in counting... The first hubber that replies gets 2 medals on Sunday
lets try for the guinness record "biggest coffee ride"
Statement only at 18:30 now, another 2.5 hours
They only meeting at 18:30, so how long after that will they come to a decision
and looking outside the office, these guys are very busy with the start line scaffolding....
Question: What about the stands at the expo? Are they not suppose to be preparing today already? Is that happening?
APPEAL TO ALL CYCLISTS: I know we have all trained very hard for the Cape Town Cycle Tour. I say just cancel the Tour, too much has been lost and out of respect for those trying to re-organise their lives I think it is only respectful to do so. How do I ride through the tarnish on Sunday trying to enjoy myself knowing that many lives have been affected, not forgetting the amount of animal life lost. I say keep the entry fee and use it to restore what has been lost... #CapeTownisburning Share, Tag, Tweet, Whatsapp.... get the message out there.

Hi All
I am looking at changing my stem and was asked by LBS what the angle is. I have a 75mm Specialized stem and for the life of me cannot find the angle on the stem. The only thing I find is the torque settings.
Where can i find the angle of the stem?
Kind Regards
Friend just drove past he scene and sent me a pic, the cyclist has passed on... may he RIP
Sorry, to clear things up... I gave him the opportunity to make things right, i.e. take responsibility for the damages. Yes, I am insured but I did not want to go that route because he has a PDP licence. If there is a violation against your name, your PDP licence will be suspended.
What upsets me was the fact that when I called him later in the day, he was rude and obnoxious. He said I dont belong on the road etc etc...
My concern is not around the damages, more than often we have been hearing about incidents where vehicles dont consider cyclist. If I were to let this slide, he can do the same to another fellow cyclist.
So, on Saturday morning at approximately 9:45 am, in Main Road and corner of Ladies Mile in Cape Town, 2 of my friends and myself was standing at the traffic lights waiting for it to change. As it changes, we proceeded slowly with me at the back. The car beside me did not look in his left review mirror and without indicating, decided to turn left off the road and as a result, I too went left onto the gravel, screamed my lungs out, breaked hard and went over the bike.
The driver of the vehicle came and said “I did not see you” and that it was not his fault. He said he would pay for the damages and friends of mine took pics of his car, licence and details. We then went further up the road to lay a charge at Diepriver police station where the constable said we need to lay an accident report. Which I did and I have a case number.
Now, I contacted the driver the afternoon and he wants nothing to do with what happened. He turned his phone off and now is un-contactable. I had a closer look at his drivers licence and notice that he has a pdp licence. I refuse to leave this like this. What else can I do fellow hubbers?
oh, it's a girl apparently... been taking the mickey out of her for a while... she eventually gave up....
NUUN... excellent product, used it for 2 months... sugar free...
Anybody hear about the cyclist who was involved in accident in Koeberg Road yesterday afternoon? I think his name is Faizel Jakoet. Hope is doing ok.
Nope, dead silence. I think she is onto meany update on this.
I hope you negotiated her down to R 175 000!!!

Drum roll please..... and here it is
I will send it to you from here. So it works like this: first, I need your full name and shipping address. I will forward them to the shipping company and they will send you the invoice, payment instructions, tracking number, etc. Then you have to make the payment to them (via bank transfer) in order to start the delivery. After you receive and inspect the bike for 3 days, you have to get back with them and allow them to release me the money.
If you find any problems with it or it is not as described, you can send it back at no costs on your behalf and you will receive a full refund from the company - also via bank transfer.
