  1. Nobody will dispute the dangers of the R27, but also doubt anybody would anticipate the way this incident happened...
  2. Certainly not the Sunday morning we envisaged when we headed out this morning ... RIP.
  3. Doesn't this Covid-edition of DC make everyone "1st timers".?
  4. Haven't seen anything yet, but pretty sure they will feature for BF.
  5. The LBS you head to to feel better after breaking something on your bike. LOL
  6. Probably could have killed two birds with one stone and added "road tubeless" to the conversation...
  7. MTB options yes (as noted above), road probably less likely.
  8. Agreed ... also doubt a sophisticated jacking would be put off by screams and shouts. Seems this oke may have stumbled out of the bush and thought he was being attacked by a cyclist.
  9. 10 - 20mins either way on a bike and without too much concern for confrontation given the limited traffic that time on a weekday morning. There's also the Red Hill settlement.
  10. The more you claim, the longer it takes. They can also get finicky and have you jumping through hoops....
  11. Good to hear.! Hopefully it won't be too long before you can share ...
  12. RAF process is so delayed that eventually you lose interest, as they were hoping all along.
  13. The same for 9/10 people soaking up the sun on Camps Bay beach yesterday as we cycled through ...
  14. WTF.! Our group went through same area at around 8:00 ... never feel 100% safe there but would not have expected this.! Heal up quickly.
  15. 2 mins in ... "get off you bastard". Something most of us home mechanics with makeshift tools can relate too. LOL
  16. Quick look at site suggests Rockbros is the major sunglasses brand. That's something often on Takealot so perhaps compare pricing there.
  17. https://www.facebook.com/Irwin-Cycling-South-Africa-1711575925736516/ From another thread so not sure if still applicable but perhaps can help.
  18. Probably just as well that it didn't... we've seen too many times how easily blame is shifted to the cyclist. Hopefully this way only one party remains at fault.
  19. Could have been "interesting" had that traffic light been red ...
  20. Most of them to Milnerton CC apparently...
  21. How cold does it get there.? LOL Lekker shoes ... both on and off the bike.
  22. "An assault is the act of inflicting physical harm or unwanted physical contact upon a person or, in some specific legal definitions, a threat or attempt to commit such an action. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in criminal prosecution, civil liability, or both."
  23. I remember having a BMX stolen as a kid. It had a plastic name tag stuck to it which was subsequently removed, but it had been on long enough to leave just enough residue to still make it legible when we got the chop riding it in a nearby neighborhood.
  24. Criminal activity comes with a massive inconvenience that being insured doesn't cover for. Hopefully these recent recoveries is a small step in the right direction.
  25. I've sent this link to someone who I think knows the owner ... Now that I've read all posts, glad to see that OP was contacted.
