on the other hand, i agree. this is not going to be solved by wearing black armbands, protest rides etc. this issue needs major attention in the form of media, politicians, new laws, education program, etc. a whole mindshift is needed. and i'm sorry to say, cyclists are also to blame.

then winter comes, less people cycle and everyone forgets. it sickens me to think that people are dead and you lot nitpick about who is right and who is wrong. ride single file. dont swear at me. etc etc. how can we care so little about our fellow man that we are willing to play games with their lives by trying to pass them as closely as we can. i am actually feeling sick on my stomach.

i've bought a couple of times off ebay before. only new stuff. saved plenty of money even with shipping factored in! yes, buying stuff via the internet was (ok, still is with some sites) dodgy back in the day, but come on, wake up people, it is 2009. edit : plus you get to shop naked! 4ph3X2009-02-14 12:01:48

cool photo's. I like the "Kevin E & vulgar" one. they look so sierrias. what camera do you use? one crit: maybe use a shallower dof on the 2 maties guys photo.

nice bike. i am jealous!

sjo! ek is bly om te hoor jou pa is ok! dissie cool nie. hoekom is daar so baie spacers onder die stem?

i hate the term "afrikaner". Is dit nie "afrikaanssprekende" nie ? ever heard of the anglo boere oorlog? or is that the anglo afrikaner oorlog? now i'm confused. to get back to the subject: i would say Willem becomes Willempie becomes Wimpie or Wim

now ask yourself... why is he back in pro cycling? cos he wants $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ $$$ and more $$$ 4ph3X2009-01-26 11:47:18

engrish ?

In my view, the best book for the layman is Structures (Or Why Things Dont Fall Down) by JE Gordon and published by Penguin. Exclusive Crooks has it from time to time. I think every engineer, architect, wheelbuilder or lawnmower repairman should read this book. Secondly, if you want wheel specific, get a copy of The Bicycle Wheel by Jobst Brandt, published by Avocet Press. I stock copies of this for my wheelbuilding courses - yours for $25. why should an engineer read that book? what does it "explain" ?

relax' date=' i'm just giving you a hard time. i dont *like* salesmen. am i negative all the time? i was dropped on my head as a baby.

if it makes you happy, go for it! personally, i still think alu is the best all round material for a bike (especially mtb)

i just love big corporate mentality

i will put in a day's leave on 30 jan to be there. i further suggest we all write an e-mail / letter to ppa urging them to become involved in this "safe cycling initiative" from their website: "It [PPA] is also involved with various safe cycling initiatives."

im going to murder someone later today..because everyone else is doing it' date=' so its okay..care to join me in that case? Then I'm going to jump in a fire..care to join me? you can go first. f@cking 1st class tjop[/quote'] thanks for calling me a tjop because you disagree with me. i'm just saying, wether you dump your one little sachet wrapper in your bin at home or on the road isn't gonna make a difference in the bigger picture. ok. i'm bored now.

it is unacceptable. but wether you keep the sticky thing in your pocket or chuck it doesn't make a difference.

exactly. i dont know who this guy is or what his contribution to society is. who cares what he has to say. if you are comfortable with your helmet on, leave it on! who cares?

you people act as if you're living in a 1st world country. wake up / flame me, but have you been outside your bubble lately? sure, don't litter, feel better about yourself. BUT go have a look at how some dump sites are being run 'cos that's where your rubbish ends up ultimately. i say chuck your empty "sachet" in the great big giant "ocean" edit: rather recycle your stuff or be less wasteful in the 1st place. THEN you're contributing.4ph3X2008-11-18 10:41:46

this is very sad news. my heart goes out to his family & friends.
