  1. That section through Maitland would scare me with all those taxis and trucks during peak hour and the road is very narrow.
  2. Went home along the cycle track at around 5pm yesterday and there were 4 Metro officers out on the buslane .Big up to the City that works for me
  3. Such a nice afternoon yesterday that I decided to do some extra distance and went to check out the beach at Tableview.On the way back the sun set as I was passing Dolphin Beach and out came the miggies in the millions,making seeing and breathing difficult.Next time I will be prepared with the necessary gear.
  4. the Haven in Chappinni st -shower and lunch R10
  5. Koeberg Nature reserve nice flat sections ,not many hills
  6. When approaching dicey area take the spray off the stem and put it on the outside of glove \hand with a strap going around 4 fingers in case you get seperated from your bike.I would prefer gel mixed with some dye
  7. I feel your pain ,also hit a pavement .Took 3 months to discover fracture .In total 7 months to repair.Best of luck
  8. Looking forward to trying
  9. Koeberg is awesome and the little guy will enjoy the springbuck,zebra and eland,but I think Koeberg Nature reserve is closed this week re fueling of the reactor.
  10. Strange how it only drizzles in Milnerton and Tableview,but as soon as you get to the Harbour entrance it pours down.I was chicken this morning
  11. Dads toy ,Canal Walk nice and small or Cape Union but more bulky
  12. Sunset Beach is half way between Milnerton and Table view,just north of Milnerton golf course and just after you cross over the Diep rivier.Pity the jacker did not get to practice is swimming off the top of the bridge.Pissed as this is my hood!!
  13. This is disgusting, just goes to show you are never quite safe out there.Glad Simon is ok.This will affect all families cycling in this area and with school holidays coming up ,what a bummer.
  14. Working in the CBD has its perks
  15. Would like to add Jubilee square,Millers point ,top of Smitswinkel at the big tree,Scarbrough (Camel rock)for Guys going around the point and Glencairn traffic lights for guys going back over Blackhill
  16. That sucks!! Need some more details -area,description of skelm, etc Will keep eyes peeled
  17. This situation totally out of control.Traffic Dept should step in and limit the number of cyclists using the Campsbay - Seapoint , the Muizenberg - Fishhoek Route and the Chappies route especially over the weekends before the Cycle Tour .This will really suck as I train around Campsbay every day ,but maybe this will get the message across.
  18. Got 700 x 38 tyres and 700x35-45 tubes from City Cycles the other day. Can now interchange them between commuter and 29r. Or just ride all the tread off your 29r tyres,only thing if you go back onto gravel you will have no traction and will do some drifting around the corners

    Houtbay and back
  20. I agree with getting splits .It worked for me last yearMuizenberg station (25km mark) in 1 hr,Cape point (50km mark)in 2hrs, Noordhoek Garden emporium (75km mark) in 3hrs and after that, what ever it takes. And still remember to enjoy the view of the Fairest Cape in the World
  21. Get well soon. So many cyclists on that road and still you have motorists pushing bikes off the road or pulling out in front of cyclists.Going down Suikerbossie at about 52kmh the other day and a lady in a red Kadette pulls out in front of me.Decided its time of brakes upgrade
  22. To Chappies and back yesterday -NOT ONE PIECE of Cyclists rubbish.Very impressed
  23. Eina !!! sent shivers down my spine Got one hook of a treble in a dog's lip after fishing for bass and while walking home .Was not pleasant taking it out,had to be cruel but better than getting it in the paw as well
  24. Or used as payment for a shipment
  25. Sorry to hear the bad news. Bet: 1. they have been in the store before to check out the bikes 2.they were sitting around in the parking areas before break in ,waiting for staff to leave. 3.they are not cyclists 4.bikes already out of CT Just my thoughts ,hope theses mothers get caught.
