Thinking to road trip down from JHB. Flights are just way too expensive. If someone wants to join and split costs, let me know. Otherwise, if peeps are needing bikes down to CPT and will help subsidise my costs, also give me a shout - 0729472209

This was an opportunity for CTCC organizers to really shine. I know it is in their fine print but realistically they could have apologized for the cancellation and perhaps compensated participants. If I chose to cancel on a race, I totally accept all losses and forfeit everything but as for a race not even starting, I cannot see why the event organizers cannot carry some of the burden? Either way....the CTCC has lost its appeal for me over the last several years. I am going to do 1 more to get 10 medal and then never again. Guys, why should we not boycott this race??? I would like to see the race to have an alternative start point (current one has been *** for a while now) as well as an alternative route for these types of emergencies (perhaps inland...scenery is just as good)...Im sure most cyclists also have vehicles so retorting shouldn't be such an issue...? There are much better and cheaper races on the calendar. Is boycotting a solution??

Lots of okes wear trisuits....but running around with them feels to me like youre wearing a nappy....and mtb guys...well were supposed to be hard tough buggars right? Lots of people just wear normal running clothes and cycle with that too...a tri suit is really a little overkill for these races...but you can if you want to.

Who would be keen to buy some of these. This is straight from the producer... 12X stickers for R119 including postage. Produced in Cape Town. You can send orders through me or I can forward contact details on to you. If we are able to secure a large order, we would be able to work out a better deal. Sizes 60mm round or 85 x 45 mm Printed on ultra destructible vinyl Let me know at pteague@gmail.com or whatsapp/sms to 0729472209

Steal their wheel valves. At least 2. They will suffer. doesn't damage the vehicle but is a pain in the bum. Stickers is good idea. Gonna get a quote from a buddy quick.

yoh! you need to be chuck norris to be able to turn the crank and to steer that monster

At your prices, I will definitely support you!...Have never and will never support Action photo...purely based on the price issue.

Argus special on mountain cabbage (tafelberg 'erbs) for the responsible club members so you guys can chilllllll...pm me! Its amazing how such a silly act of a few people can have such an impact on so many...I think these okes missed the plot about cycling....if you get road rage vibes when you're on a bike, its time to leave the sport.... And I totally agree on prosecuting these gangsters to the full extent of the law, and excluding them from competing in formal events for at least some time.

+1 And proper hand signals...the guys up in gauteng seem to be better on this than the capies....jis makes me mal trying to figure out where most other cyclists in Cape Town are going and its scary to see so many people on suicide rides. I get the impression that lots of roadies adopt a taxi-driver mentality??? Granted, there are waaay too many bumps and potholes to point out...(maybe an opportunity for ANC to climb in...hahaha)...but seriously, please let people behind you know your intentions...its just the rules of the road. The motorists usually don't know what our signals mean anyway, but if we all do it the right way with the right signals, they will catch on...

I hope this sums things up.... 1) Wrong forum 2) Look ahead to where you're riding to...then you will be able to identify potential hazards/obstructions in ample time and make calm adjustments to your path of travel 3) Your bike has brakes...they are not just for style points...use them 4) If you klap a pedestrian/runner, you will probably get more hurt falling off your bike and you will damage your bike...the pedestrian probably wont be injured....so rather give them space even if they are wrong... 5) So what if you are right and they are wrong....it doesn't actually matter all that much at the end of the day 6) There are a lot of idiots in the world today....if you go outside, you're probably going to encounter a whole bunch of them...so if you go outside, expect them to be there....if you anticipate their presence, you can act accordingly 7) Stop whining...nobody cares to listen and its lame bra! Peace!

Gooi some polyfiller to fill the gap and finish off with sandpaper for baby-bottom-smooth finish On the other part...totally agree with the sizing issues...i think the Italians actually only cater for kids...bcos that's how big their clothes are...

Forget about warranties...just insure...peace of mind

Go back and re-look your requirements...why exactly do you need a stiffer carbon frame for 'the odd race'? Giant is really good value for money and good resale-but I am a little biased. I do think specialized are overpriced at the moment, but not poor quality at all. Same story with merida and 'dale. Scott also a good value for money brand at the moment. For your needs I would choose an aluminium frame with the best groupset+wheelset....a carbon frame can always come later(and they're not too pricey), but some of the ali frames are lighter than the carbon ones....also an aluminium frame is more resilient during transport...lastly...its a lekker ego boost to cruise passed the okes on their carbon frames during races...hahahaa

For the okes who don't understand such a basic principle...this example should be easier to understand...would it be okay for your neighbour to walk through your property to get to their house just because it might be a shorter distance or otherwise more convenient...probably not...so if you use even a little stretch of the trail, you should pay. Maybe think of the fee as a fee to access the property rather than just the trails...and then it just so happens that that money goes toward maintaining the bike trails.

@ agteros...im pretty sure thehubsa admins have their jobs because they know what they're doing....theres a bunch of research and planning that goes on behind the scenes, that's why it is how it is. Anyways to get back on topic...no excuses for littering...my opinion, OP only opened a mild case of name-and shame-whoopass on cc...no need to get upset or overly sensitive about it. If you litter, you're a chop...if the okes in your cycling gang are chops, then by association you're also chop...thats how it is...so cc guys, just give your mates a lekker klap for bringing the rest of you guys down...it will always be a minority that brings down the majority
